Full FLCC Girls Championship (Better Quality) 2008 Footlocker Cross Country Championships

Jordan Hassay really pulled it through!

She should have started that crazy move at the 1 mile mark.

If someone would have worked on that McLaughlin girl's form, she might have won the race - gutsy (maybe stupid) race just the same. She wasted an incredible amount of energy. Compare Hasay's efficiency - or find a Shannon Rowbury (sp?) video.

How far did Ally go before Jordan and Ashley passed her?

Great race.

That was an awesome start but why did Jordan start on the side

To Tony Payne below: Jordan left late??? She won the race. I would say she timed everything pretty much perfect.

That race was amazing! Three fantastic efforts

Allie has a cute running style for sure

Allie needs to work on that arm movement a little bit but other than that very impressive/gutsy race.

Why wasn't this on TV, best race I've seen in years.

Allie's turnover was staggering, it looked like she was sprinting the whole way. Great race, makes up for how much of a stinker the guys race was.

Coming down that final hill was like watching a snake coil up, ready to strike and eat two mice alive. And she did. Congrats again, Jordan.

I like the smoothness. But, if this is high quality, I'd like to see what low quality is!

Wow, Jordan left it a little late huh? She was either feeling bad for a while or she's SUPER calm and mature and has grown immensely in the previous year...which would also have to indicate she's extremely confident in her finishing ability. But when she made that move, god she looked like a runaway freight train.

I did not notice the heel striking on McGloughlin because I could not get past her arms crossing in front of her ( quite surprised she ran as fast as she did ). Remember she is reletively new to this sport and when she gets to college hopefully they will fix her form errors, then watch out!

mclaughlin is awesome. what a ballsy race.

that was a sick finish!

Thank you! It was great to watch it without the choppiness! And what a finish!

JORDAN HASAY YOU ARE MY HERO!

For comparison - the LARGEST Cross Country Meet in North America (OFSAA - The Ontario Championships ) Approximately 90% of Canadian NCAA runners competed in OFSAA.


Winner Jessica Perry - less than a month after finishing 2nd at world youth 800m (2:06) championships - wins the senior girls race (4915m)

mclaughlin is a huge heel striker...

Very intense race, I thought Allie M. was going to pull it off. Awesome to see Hassay come from behind and just take it! Awesome job Jordan!

Crazy race...good race

Great competetors all - what a quality race!

That race was som ething to cheer about for all the runners. My heart sank as Allie M. started to slow down at the end. Am happy for the winners but really hoped Allie could have crossed by a second faster than the rest. her strategy was just not as good as the strategy that Jordan H. implemented. Thanks for the coverage.

We are so proud of you Allie, You are going all the way to the top. All your family are so excited for you. CONGRATULATIONS! Hope to see you at M.S.U.

What a race.

Good lord, what a race by Allie M. Gutsy move to take the lead out like that.

Granted Hasay did the exact same thing last year with the same result, but still... to go out and take on three national champions head on and make them race for it. Her stock went waaaay up in my book today.

Jordan Hasay/Trevor Dunbar

2008 National Champions
Ps. F these FL haters....NXN is a pr move

Jordan ran a much more mature race than last year; good to see her utilize that mile speed we all know she has with a perfectly-timed kick at the end!

Correct. The feed was from Footlocker. Flotrack had no connection with the footage above.

The footage came from the footlocker live feed. Mark didn't have anything to do with it really...

that was so awful

I too would appreciate a better video. That is the most of Footlocker I've even seen, though. Thank's for the post! Hopefully we can get a non-choppy version.

that was the woarst video ive ever watched

What the Heck! Timmy Turner down the street could film better then that. This is Footlocker's 30th. You think they could have spent an extra hundred bucks and got a film crew that knew what they were doing. The race itself was probably amazing. Wish could seen with t the ch iness in the vi and dio.

Best HS XC race that I have seen in a long time!!!

5:22 at the mile

what was the mile and half mile splits?

that video sucked. but it looked like an amazing race
