2008 NCAA Cross Country Men 1 of 4

[okonh0wp]

he transferred from Farleigh Dickinson to Liberty? He's the best runner in the country so why doesn't he get an education somewhere like Stanford or Wisconsin than 3rd tier colleges like Liberty and FD?

[moob137]

Why are they running so SLOOOOOWWW?? I dont do cross country but i bet i could kill everyone of them!!

[cooldogcool51]

@moob137 are you joking hahah

[JonasRunner1]

@moob137 No actually you couldn't so dont even think you could trust me unless your Olympic material shut up

[Irun2013]

@JonasRunner1 we should let him try, and see him get killed and throw up at mile 1

[mrkoolio1000]

@moob137 ya because running 6.2 miles at sub 5 minute mile pace is so slow... retard

To join NCAA Cross country you got to actually be good. You might not even make it to the team if your not good enough.

[adulby]

wow false start! ive only seen one of these and ive been to like 50 xc races

[volunteernation16]

you can't just "Join" NCAA Cross Country. You have to be one of the best in your state in high school.

[Xvanish820]

@volunteernation16 wait wait wait hold on. I'm pretty sure the only way that you have to be in NCAA cross country is if your on your college cross country team. Im not sure if theres a varsity and open thing. I sure hope there is.

[james65508]

i never knew there was NCAA Crosscountry !!! WOW im joining 

[Sagora123]

good god look at the size of his mic

[nineTproduction]

i do cross country and i dont see whats so interesting watching this.

[laser34521]

@nineTproduction inspiration :)

[futureleader17]

@laser34521 so freaking true

[laser34521]

lol false start in cross country XD

[Xvanish820]

That makes me mad! Who gives a fuck about the interviews, who gives a fuck about commercials. Really, its a cross country race. If you don't see the whole thing its bullshit.

[mc02072]

this announcer is a fooolll!!! he said hes easily running 60 seconds the first 600m!!???

[syoonis]

Is a pr of 17:34 good for a freshman

[nocompromise0]

yes.

[lsufan1234]

yes, its time that is promising as long as you do a lot of running

if get to the point where you can run competitively in 10k and 8k road races you'll start to become a premier runner

[cicirunner]

Yes, it's quite good

[subway987]

if you race on a cross country team, you should know the answer to that...

[rikufan38]

Lol, My time for a 5k is 19:59 XD I don't train hard or anything, but if only I could run like the people from Oregon! Do you know what I could (and most likely would >:] ) with that kind of power? MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[nocompromise0]

train hard then.

[schwartzxc13]

Why was the announcer so surprised to see a false start in a cross country race? I ran in the Florida state cross country meet this past Saturday and my race had two false starts while another race had one. It may be uncommon, but it's not unheard of.

[uconnfanNumber1]

were r u from cause if u were from ct u would be right with the top freshman in the state

[uconnfanNumber1]

im a freshan and my pr is 17:59 and my record for my first mile is a 5:03

[8lucky8]

That's pretty bad

[uconnfanNumber1]

bad, ive been running for 4 month im tied for the best fresman in the conference and im in the top 10 or 5 freshman in ct

[8lucky8]

I ran a 16:52 5K my freshman year. I think i hit a 4:30 in the mile but I'm not too sure. Back in the day of course

[cicirunner]

How long ago is back in the day for you? If it was 9+ years ago, the races were 3 miles instead of a 5K

[NailsForDinner]

Wow, this is truley amazing!

I've only been involved in cross country and running for a little over a year now, and it really is a fun sport! My first mile time ever was 7:45 in 5th grade, and then in 6th grade 6:09, and I recently have just broken 6 minutes, 5:53. I really hope one day I could join an amazing team like Oregon!

[Ultimateizbeast]

how old r u? im in 8th grade running XC for my school. im the best one so far

[NailsForDinner]

I'm only twelve. I run 3rd for my team.

[Ultimateizbeast]

awesome if u were at my school it would be beast. i run a mile in 5:45 or so.

[6789678967896789]

pretty good. i ran a 5:55 in 8th grade before i started to run.. now in high school i can do a 55:00 ten mile and a 14:50 3 mile. youll get there dude :)

[rvla15]

not to crush your dreams or anything.. but to run for Oregon you have to be extremely fast, if you didn't notice those guys are running 14:20 something 5k's as a part of a 10K. if you want to have any shot at running for them you better be under 15 in highschool. that being said you can do anything if you work hard enough... you just have to want it and work your ass off. best of luck i hope you make the team someday

[NailsForDinner]

Well I know it will be tough, and I probably won't be able to do it, but it's just a nice goal to have.

[tyran68]

These guys are such beasts....

[abp23c]

ahahah that starting line has to be at least 100 yards wide............ ahaha .. it is ahaha wow these guys suck 5:30

[PaJameProductions]

u suck. these guys run laps around you

[abp23c]

the fucking anouncers can run laps around me ? ahahahahaha dude fucken read!!!! ahahahahaha

[PaJameProductions]

oh i thought you meant the runners themselves

[abp23c]

oh no not the runners fuck that!

[philoeffler]

yea these announcers are horrible.

If you've never heard/seen a false start you obviously dont know much about xc

[creightonxc13]

I have never seen a false start in a cross country race. unbelievable.

[xee00]

ive only seen one too, but i was in the race that i saw it

[Derek799]

4:21 min for the first mile!!! My best time was 4:17 but that was only for one mile

[xxtoxicxrockerxx]

my personal best at a 5k is 16:12 my 10 k is33:14 but i train really hard.

[philstar12]

I ran this and i absolutely thought i was going to win..yeah guess not

[carbon4me]

I saw Rupp run at Stanford at the West regionals. Wow. What a powerful runner.

[riggs539]

I tought the coverage of the men's race was terrible.. ESPN should do a little more XC homework. I mean really... who knows about how a 5th man impacts a team race? There are 250 other races going on out there...Common! Also, are you kidding me about the 4min commercials during a 30min race?...Weak Sause! Thats like missing almost a whole quarter of playtime during a national football game! Just say'n.

[wakeisbeast234]

@riggs539 dude its cbs, espn is would probly do alot beter, just saying...

[467076]

@wakeisbeast234 Espn dont even broadcast it they fucken suck.

[volunteernation16]

@riggs539 espn didn't cover it

[aaronj77]

False start!! haha

[sundog1973]

Ha! I thought your comment was a joke. Guess not.
