#45	Anonymous Coward March 3 at 9:44am man, i would definately like to spend my christmas with that hottie from flotrack! he is probably the sexiest man ive ever seen reply
#44	Anonymous Coward February 11 at 2:32pm WOW, what a kick in the race at Boston? in the 1,000. Did he have a pair of wings on his shoes? reply
#43	Dan Knewitz January 16 at 5:46pm Found this on Youtube... He Called On It All reply
#42	Anonymous Coward January 2 at 1:48pm How is garrett heath and chris derricks kick at prenats not on here they looked like they were sprinting past walkers. reply
#41	Anonymous Coward December 29, 2008 at 2:17pm If i looked for them I'm sure I could find at least 3 better kicks of 2008. reply
#40	Anonymous Coward December 29, 2008 at 11:39am Man, that girl needs to cut her hair. reply
#39	Tanner Elliott December 27, 2008 at 8:30pm colby lowe and mike cooks should have been on thier reply
#38	Anonymous Coward December 27, 2008 at 7:57pm Why is Hasay's trial kick ranked lower than her Footlocker kick? reply
#37	Anonymous Coward December 27, 2008 at 7:55pm Jordan Hasay is the BEST!!! Come to Washington, they will be national champions for the next 4 years at least! reply
#36	Anonymous Coward December 27, 2008 at 4:32pm http://www.flotrack.org/videos/coverage/view_video/51/3617 will cole new york state meet 400H. crazy kicker reply
#35	Anonymous Coward December 27, 2008 at 12:04pm How is Reed Connor, the NXN Champ not in here for this? He DESTROYED the lead pack in the last 300m with an insane kick from FAR out (he didn't know where the finish line was and went early and held it). One of the guys he outkicked is a 3:49 1500m guy so it was no small feat! REED CONNOR of The Woodlands, TX should be included! NATIONAL XC CHAMPION! reply
#34	James Croft December 26, 2008 at 10:15pm I agree Chase when the 3 oregon guys made it in the 800. It sounded like the stadium was going to explode from the sound reply
#33	Anonymous Coward December 26, 2008 at 1:49am Hasay is so awesome. reply
#32	Anonymous Coward December 25, 2008 at 9:53pm I'm grateful that you guys do such a good job of bringing the best of our sport. You have got to have a true passion for our sport and for all that you do to bring us up to date by the videos and interviews. Thanks for this year end recap and thanks for the spots of humor along the way. P.S. I enjoy when you give your commentary on things. reply
#31	Anonymous Coward December 25, 2008 at 9:32pm Did he get a job or what? reply
#30	Anonymous Coward December 25, 2008 at 10:02am Excellent selections and analyses. The US 800 trials was one of the best kick finishes in history. reply
#29	Chase Wade December 25, 2008 at 1:54am When Jordan broke the record the stadium was so loud, but not as loud as when Andy made the team. The best live races I have ever watched in my life. But Ryan you should of put Abdi's finish in the 10k or should I say the next 150 that he ran after he finished. reply
#28	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 7:52pm Ryan's comments added to the excitement of the videos! He knows his stuff- great job flotrack! reply
#27	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 7:40pm Good variety of races... but Ryan, less talking, please... be more organized and don't wing it. reply
#26	1000miles December 24, 2008 at 6:43pm there are so many good kicks they couldn't have named them all...calm down people reply
#25	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 6:23pm too bad my kick did not help me at the olympics reply
#24	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 6:23pm jenny barringer definitely had the best kick reply
#23	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 5:54pm Colby Lowe vs Michael Cook at the UIL state championships. Colby's been undefeated for 2 years in Texas, and almost loses that streak in the last 200m of his final race reply
#22	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 4:27pm Rebecca Noble at Stanford in '07 http://www.flotrack.org/videos/track_race/play/750-2007-stanford-invitational-womens-1500m-section-2 reply
#21	Andrew ORourke December 24, 2008 at 4:11pm I still like Chris Derrick's 13:55 at Arcadia. That last 800 he dropped to dip under 14 was crazy. reply
#20	Ryan From Flotrack December 24, 2008 at 3:43pm guys i messed up a little...i forgot one of the most important finishes of the summer. sean o'brien's retirement/farewell race!!! if you haven't seen this, its worth a look M 800 H06 National Section (Sean O'Brien Farewell) Get the Flash Player to see this player. Sean O'Brien 800 Farewell Get the Flash Player to see this player. reply
#19	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 3:25pm they should've put amy begley video when she qualified for the 10k! that was amazing too! reply
#18	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 3:09pm Perfect selection! Chilling! reply
#17	Jones Abraham December 24, 2008 at 3:08pm don't forget about charles white in indoors....his last 200 was sick M Mile H04 Get the Flash Player to see this player. reply
#16	kevind December 24, 2008 at 2:54pm Symmonds jumping out of the back to avoid being trapped was incredible. Wheating did what he did all year. Kick the competition to the curb. In the Trials race, it was just as dramatic as he had already completed a full outdoor collegiate season. To be able to continue his streak into the trials was amazing. I believe, outside of Beijing, he finished the year -- in every single 800 or 1500 he ran -- 1st except for 2nd at NCAA's and 2nd Trials. reply
#15	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 2:48pm HOW CAN YOU LEAVE OUT KYLE MERBER'S NON OUTDOOR MILE KICK WHICH WAS A PERFECT REPLICA OF BILLY MILLS? reply
#14	Ryan From Flotrack December 24, 2008 at 2:47pm I think you are talking about this race? This was good also B 4x800 Event 237 C of A Get the Flash Player to see this player. reply
#13	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 2:23pm wat about the high school boys 4x800 championship of americas nasty kick by the Jamacian Team very talented even though not american still dirty reply
#12	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 1:56pm Anonymous C- I understand what you're saying, but don't hold that against galen. he was put in a situation to be trained by some of the best. its frustrating for some people to see that, but put yourself in his shoes. if you really think about it, wouldn't you take advantage of those resources? as a runner, i think most would reply
#11	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 1:56pm Love love love Nick Simmonds and Andy Wheating. Great choice for #1 but I don't agree with 2. . i liked Jenny B's better. Also, how about Minnesotas Heather Dorinden when she fell in her race and picked herself up for the win! reply
#10	Connor Schneider December 24, 2008 at 1:53pm Ian Dobson's 5000 Trial finish was surprising... reply
#9	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 1:51pm Im SO glad Galen didnt get it. He's OVER rated!!!! here in eugene, damn its so ANNOYING! Nick didnt have his hand held by elite coaches from day 1. just like Pre, Nick made it happen for himself reply
#8	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 12:48pm EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!! Thank you for what you do. reply
#7	Victor LeMay December 24, 2008 at 12:44pm awesome video!!! reply
#6	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 12:38pm Shoulda had this last year so g2g4gold would have won. reply
#5	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 12:35pm Also have to give a shout out to Leo's NCAA 1500. reply
#4	Nick Osborne December 24, 2008 at 12:32pm good stuff. reply
#3	Mitchell Straub December 24, 2008 at 11:52am That 800 at the trails was amazing and very motivating reply
#2	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 11:41am LEO! reply
#1	Tristan Willey December 24, 2008 at 11:26am So good. I forgot just how intense the trials were. Race after race! I love watching a gutsy kick. reply

While at Willamette,… + See More - See Less - Nick Symmonds took an unconventional route to second place in the 800 meter at the US Track championships in 2006. Symmonds attended Willamette University, a Division III school. While at Willamette, Symmonds owned the track; he won seven national titles. Though Symmonds was relatively unknown heading into the 2006 US championships, that did not discourage him. To earn his successful finish of second in the nation for the 800 meter, Nick passed a pack of five runners during the last 150 meters. Now Nick?s route to championship has broken the mold for others to follow.
