#47	Not Sure October 27 at 4:12pm I hope derrick takes german down. reply
#46	MN Track Fan October 25 at 10:44pm Nice coverage, thanks Flotrack for "bringing it" to those who could not attend the meet. Enjoyed the commentary and camera work. It is sure great that you guys have the passion to bring us coverage of the sport we love. I hope some (Trolls with Bellyaches) dont take this for granted because I remember not long ago we had no coverage. What we have here is great (alot of fun too) ! I can not wait for big dance now that I got a taste of Pre Nationals! PS, Welcome abroad John Davis! reply
#45	Josh Sears October 23 at 8:34am this was all of derricks race he took it out smart and did what he needed to do and took first! reply
#44	Brett Bonisteel October 22 at 9:16pm Great kick from Derrick!! reply
#43	Joel Keene October 20 at 11:56pm James Sobucki said: “Great job Derrick, keep it up dude, you looked great the last half of the race good luck the rest of season and Nationals, Go cardinals” Point of order - the Stanford mascot is the color cardinal, not the bird http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_Cardinal I'm a fan of the new commentary team. Keep up the great work FloTrack. reply
#42	Chris Derrick Fan October 20 at 9:46pm This kid rocks!!! National Champ in the makin 5k and 10k reply
#41	Ryan From Flotrack October 20 at 7:40pm john w davis adds some good stuff to the broadcast. thanks for watching the videos but stop taking yourselves so seriously....have a little fun with it! thats what we're trying to do reply
#40	STFU Haters October 20 at 7:36pm ignore all the trolls, the new annoncer is just fine. reply
#39	Mighty Porn Stache October 20 at 1:32pm Starting at 11:58 through to the finish (~13:15) is SUPERB camera work. I didn't quite notice it at first, but it's like it was filmed by a movie crew, directed, set up, the whole thing. The camera angle from when they start the follow cam on Chris catching Chalanga is at just the right angle and speed to show Chris reeling in Chelanga, meeting even with them as Chris pulls even, and then stays even and just a little ahead as Chris pulls away. Fantastic camera work. Excellent Flotrack! reply
#38	Sean OLeary October 19 at 4:34pm xrunner said: “anyone ever try wearing the matumbos for a race like this? how are they?” looks like that worked out well for derrick in this race reply
#37	Thr Real Deal October 19 at 3:39pm The new guy is a great addition. makes the race exiting and entertaining. reply
#36	Xrunner October 19 at 3:08pm anyone ever try wearing the matumbos for a race like this? how are they? reply
#35	Fool October 19 at 10:24am Terrible commentary. Who ever this new guy is needs to hold his mic back and needs to learn a few things about the sport. reply
#34	Yufeng Guo October 19 at 12:59am really good commentary on the whole, though could've been a bit louder (minor issue, just turn it up before uploading?). Flotrack is really starting to hit the big time, and getting really excellent race coverage through and through which is really exciting. Keep up the good work! reply
#33	Nice October 18 at 11:28pm great commentary guys, flotrack has come a long way! you guys have done a great deal for the sport, thank you reply
#32	Big Sky October 18 at 8:28pm First of all the new commentator rocks. Secondly, don't call out Sammy. He had no reason to do anything but get and see what he could do. If you haven't got it figured out yet, PRENATS MEANS NOTHING...Chelanga is just testing the waters. reply
#31	Balla October 18 at 8:16pm taking it out hard is just the way chalenga runs and pre was exactly the same. not always the smartest way of winning but chris derrick is the man reply
#30	Anonymous Coward October 18 at 7:37pm Does Chelanga ever get tired of being kicked down? reply
#29	Comeback Kid October 18 at 5:03pm Ryan Sheridan ran amazingly well. If you didn't know he was injured his junior and senior year of hs and might have never run again and he made it all way to getting 4th at prenats!!! reply
#28	Ty October 18 at 4:42pm YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAS, I ran with him! reply
#27	James Sobucki October 18 at 4:13pm Great job Derrick, keep it up dude, you looked great the last half of the race good luck the rest of season and Nationals, Go cardinals reply
#26	Shellah October 18 at 4:01pm Great coverage guys! reply
#25	Boring October 18 at 3:06pm Good for Derrick. Noew he just needs to do it when it counts. reply
#24	Erich Yanoschik October 18 at 2:34pm Loved the coverage, and the new commentator. reply
#23	Hahhaa October 18 at 1:12pm ryan did a penguin dance at the start!! that was so funny. reply
#22	Out-of-Wedlock-Danny October 18 at 1:06pm I love me some Chris Derrick. He's the man. Love the attitude, the confidence (while not being arrogant) and the dedication. He's also a good interview, every time, as Ryan can attest. reply
#21	Isaiah 40:31 October 18 at 12:31pm I liked the dual commentary. You both have a nice rapport and it makes of for fun viewing. Cross Country meets are long, not every comment can be a statistic, it is fun to hear someone say something you were thinking as well...e.g., the uniform back comment was pretty funny. Keep it up. reply
#20	COMMENTATOR HATERS October 18 at 12:25pm John W. Davis aka "The New Commentator" is improving. Much like any new employee, he's adjusting to his job. While he's not as experienced as Ryan, he has his own style that adds entertainment to the broadcasts. In the meantime, all the COMMENTATOR HATERS can turn down the sound if you don't like his comments. reply
#19	Anonymous Coward October 18 at 12:19pm it looks like Ryan is trying to rap reply
#18	Anonymous Coward October 18 at 12:11pm I agree, it is very painful to hear some of his comments reply
#17	Excellence October 18 at 12:10pm this coverage is really just amazing...thanks guys reply
#16	Anonymous Coward October 18 at 12:05pm Chris is an amazing athlete, all around good guy, and just so much fun to watch! He has the perfect mentality to be a great runner. I really hope he can pull off the NCAA title in November. I liked the other commentator! He made it fun! reply
#15	Open Races October 18 at 11:57am will the men/womens open races be posted?!?! reply
#14	Whhhaat?/ October 18 at 11:54am haha this commentating ... is ... hilarious... reply
#13	Anonymous Coward October 18 at 11:44am Ryan please fire the other commentator. He makes the dumbest comments. reply
#12	Chelanga & Prefontaine October 18 at 11:31am The debate about front running vs. sit & kick continues...Chelanga ran his usual aggressive, front running race similar to Steve Prefontaine's tactics. However, Chelanga is not as successful at front running as Prefontaine. I applaud Chelanga's bravery as an aggressive front runner, however in order to win Nationals, he has to either get stronger or sit & kick like Galen Rupp & Chris Derrick. reply
#11	Mighty Porn Stache October 18 at 11:00am My god. When Derrick turned it on a little after 5k, he just ATE UP ground. It's like watching a freight train coming...nothing you can do to stop it. That kid looked GREAT. reply
#10	Lewis Johnson-esque October 18 at 10:55am That is about all I have to say about the coverage. Next time, try to focus on more than just the leaders. It is a team competition, we like to hear what goes on in the pack. Watch some tape of Phil Ligget and Paul Sherwin. reply
#9	Mighty Porn Stache October 18 at 10:52am Sam will learn one day. He learned in his 27:28 at Brutus Hamilton last year when he stuck in behind others and turned it on at the end. Of course, this is just a mid-season meet. Maybe he wanted to test himself and see if he could use this strategy again. Hopefully, he'll learn that if it's muddy out, and with the current crop of competition, he just might not be able to do this at nationals. reply
#8	Thanks October 18 at 10:07am love the coverege reply
#7	John Desrosiers October 18 at 9:54am That was an exciting race and great commentating. That was fun. Some day, you guys, along with collegiate XC, will be on a major network. :) reply
#6	stamiler October 18 at 9:43am Chris Derrick is phenomenal. What a smart and courageous athlete.. reply
#5	Peter Gilmore October 18 at 8:17am smooth move guys! commentating AFTER the race! reply
#4	Peanut Coach October 18 at 7:03am Does Chalenga's coach know anything about race strategy? Does he not have a discussion with his top runner before the race? Why does Chelanga continue to think he can win all races by charging to a idiotic lead and then die at the end. Can someone please write the coach at Liberty and give him some pointers, before Chelanga loses the NCAA championships this year again. reply
#3	Dejavu October 18 at 6:40am When will Chelenga learn? why bust a 2:40 first k and 4:30 first mile.. reply
#2	Darwin Lo October 18 at 5:45am Bekele-esque kick (and Bekele-esque head-turn!). reply
#1	Sideshow October 18 at 2:26am dude chris looked really really good. I wanna stress really! My pick for the individual title at NCAAs is still Chelenga, but Derrick is my number two pick. Wow, impressive. reply
