USA 5k Road Championships 2009 USA 5K Road Championships

Does Amy Yoder-Begley pronounce her last name as "bagly?"

Mohamed Trafeh sighting!

good for running

man sara hall, she needs to work on closing that last 200m not going backwards. nonetheless, 15:33 is very good for her. I am sure she could run sub 15:10 on a track right now!! anyone want to challenge this? i would be willing to knee you in the face because i am right ho.

why is muhammad ali filming this?

flotrack is officially scared now.

you dont think they've watch their own race footage?

thanks for the video guys, always appreciate the FREE service you provide. congratulations to teg and amy. bolota looked good out there too!

I could not agree more.

needs more zac hine

I don't know if it was an attempt to be funny or if it was honest ignorance. Both guys that are doing the voice over identify every american women by name (during the race) and act like the foreigners are not there. WHY? I understand that it is a US Championship but it really makes the voice over appear ignorant. It is almost as if they don't know their names. Also it is illegal to cheer for runners (Amy Hastings) from a vehicle that is granted permission to be on the course. If you delete this (because it is critical) I will definitly send an email to the Race Director and USATF.

Thanks for the footage. The race was boring this year. That is why I like US Champs where the good foreigners still run in them (like Peachtree) because at least the US runners have to step up their game and try to run fast. Course conditions were fine, the athletes just chose not to run hard (well the front 3) until the final hill.

Go Phillip Reid!!! Ventura County represent!

Sometimes, especially in championship races like this one, runners tend to run slower, more tactical races instead of running all-out for quick times. I don't know much about the course conditions today, but I suspect it has nothing to do with the times. Also, many of these athletes are finishing up track season, so some may be burned out

i thought Sara hall would take the woman's side

Ryan what were you driving around and where can i get one! looked like an old school moped

I read the results on the usatf website. Why were the times slow for these runners who can run faster times? Can you explain the course and the conditions that led to slow times for these guys?

race video is up!
