[@jessiec6563]

Oh lol I read it as 13 year old broke the record. I was like damn 😂

[@prestigeesports6828]

[@kentonfields1435]

[@chadlunders4898]

Kept waiting for a girl named Roy to go screaming by!

[@topspinning]

@Hadley Golden Grace won this one a different year.

[@Lancelliot7]

People who work at flotrack didn’t pass English class

[@jacobf2421]

lmao i really thought it was a 13 yr old named roy griak who broke a record

[@leviedelman4794]

SO DID I LOL

[@devo076]

If this race was held in California, a boy winning the girl's race is entirely plausible.

[@nuclear9977]

Same lol

[@gabrielle5062]

Right that was misleading

[@Bluethunder-zg4zy]

Me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gavinhill5649]

Who titled this 😂. Was really trying to figure out how Emily Covert was both 13 and 17(?) at the same time.

[@metrackerr400]

Some trump supporter for sure /-:>

[@jastew8814]

Huh

[@BlackBearCustomKydex]

Simple: she's 17 but identifies as 13 🤣

[@bluechip6619]

We need more of these

[@eemfunnyasf]

The record was held for 13 years lmao

[@joegalo3251]

Why they look biologically old this people how these days

[@katewilkinson3640]

bruh i am so stupid, i thought they meant that she was 13 but then i realised that it meant the record was 13 years old lolll

[@StringsPalace]

I feel dumb

[@thelegends222]

i did too

[@Haiti2011Harold]

I read it the same way....

[@IRex-wm9pd]

or that Roy Griak was 13 years old.

[@joeevans9211]

Real ones know Emily from my guy Ben Crawfords channel

[@axrx357]

as a cross country runner, its nice to see the sport finally recieving recognition.

[@xNCFOREVERx]

exactly!

[@ComeListenyo]

what sport

[@TheShinobiik11]

Congratulations Emily what an amazing run.

[@TheAmazingHuman-Man]

She has such a smooth stride!

[@IRex-wm9pd]

Wow... I'd almost forgotten how fast she was at this point in her high school career. I mean she just pulled away from some tough competition early and never let up... never once slowed down... just left a trail of fire behind her all the way...

[@TheRealArmor]

This is the first time I've ever watched a cross country race instead of competing in one and now I wish I had never stopped running competitively. I quit after my sophomore year of high school to keep playing soccer. 😔 Oh the scholarships I could've been offered.

[@pennypackmtb2542]

Minnesota had some top runners back in the day. Emily Covert for years Battled with the Pings. I was at this race and not to take away from Emily's incredible performance and record during this race, but there was a battle going on further back. As the commentator said, "The Pings got off to a bad start." Study the start and you will see them get out of the blocks late and then they get cut off by some other squads. They are pushed to the back of the pack and forced to run on the outside. By the time they are first spotted @2:20 they are 11 seconds back in the masses. At the "1" K marker they are 8 seconds back and almost through the masses. Running at a faster pace then the leaders, too early in the race. @6:26 The Pings appear behind Emily in 4th and 5th spot! Then Emily takes off. @ 8:50 Grace and Lauren are still holding on at just 10 seconds behind Emily after running so hard through the first half. This would had been a different race if the Pings had had a better start. It's all part of racing, from training to crossing the finish line. I just really appreciate the effort and commitment these girls all put into their sport, even on a bad day.

[@bomamba7132]

Who else just skipped through it and realized they went to far and had to go back.

[@johnway2699]

I thought maybe they were re-releasing the Grace Ping video. Yes, the headline was misleading.

[@johnway2699]

Well, to be fair, perhaps it's only misleading because I remember Grace Ping's win when she was super young.

[@vibewayfilms]

Clearly some unfortunate focus issues, but guys you missed on two big things. First it was clear at 3k if you did the quick math that she was cleanly under the course record yet you didn't seem to realize that till the final straight (more clear at the 4k too), and 2) The smiling thing is taught by several great coaches, particularly Melody Fairchild. The act of smiling opens up your throat and airways in such a way that it allows more oxygen for each breath.

[@movatsug8586]

É muito motivador ver essas meninas correndo melhor q muitos caras...

[@RedRiver_2747]

Chiao

[@WhatIsAge]

Am i going mad? or did that race clock / timer get a mind of its own? From about 26:26 in. 🤔

[@TheRealArmor]

That was fucking wild. She didn't even look winded after that run.

[@rodbrown8306]

Terrific undulating course, tough on the legs but fast conditions, outstanding run, 2nd great effort too.

[@shem44]

Roy Griak ran so fast that the cameraman is not able to film her for even a second.

[@avaisacting]

the course is called roy griak

[@wildernessandme1744]

Where on Earth are the gimbals on these cameras?

[@stevenfast5764]

Hopefully we can have races this big with this many spectators next season

[@chrishewittpiano]

I enjoy the video, but FloTrak, it might be smart to put "2018" in the title of the video; many people are confused about this being posted in 2020 seemingly with the implication that it was this year.

[@ianbusche1471]

The course is called Roy Griak Memorial, so I really don’t understand how you guys are confused

[@Saleigh]

She killed it ! Love that God is within her ! She let God take her to the finish line love it !

[@APBCTechnique]

Where is this race ? Beautiful course 🌈

[@TheAmazingHuman-Man]

Minneapolis, Minnesota

[@tortetorstenson2336]

I was thinking near the end: wow that's an old looking 13 year old... Until I read the description.

[@elijahebbert6884]

last year my team won roy griak

[@realtyhaven]

The title is so misleading!! Emily is NOT a 13 yr old.

[@eemfunnyasf]

13:51 , watch the 5K timer, why did it just go from 3.9k to 4.0k then almost immediately to 4.1k? Cheating ?

[@nielsliljedahlchristensen4924]

Cheating?? What is gained by it? The race isn't over until she crosses the line, even if the graphics show she has run 42k

[@ddeboy002]

Nice Run.

[@darrenrussell3695]

This Roy dude can really run!

[@mazda_rt24-p]

She ran across the line and looked like she could run it again meanwhile I would come across way slower than that and just die😂😢

[@bxxngan]

I’m confused. The commentator said she won in 2019 but this says it was in 2018

[@pennypackmtb2542]

It was 2017 and 2018. I witnessed both. I'm in the video on the side lines.

[@me-in-MPLS]

[@nielsliljedahlchristensen4924]

To save confusion: Roy Griak isn't a girl Roy Griak was a man. He died in 2015 at the age of 91

[@s34nvideos]

To save confusion: Roy Griak is non binary Roy Griak was a figment of the uploaders imagination to cause initial confusion.

[@asaabrahamagulnik574]

To save the confusion, Roy Griak is the name of the course, not the name of the winner of the race.

[@nilopanti5456]

MANY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE TITLE THAT RECORD IS WHEN GRACE PING WON AT THE AGE OF 13 GRACE PING IS 7TH GRADER AT THAT TIME ' SHE BEAT THE WINNER EMILY THAT TIME

[@wandabailey7870]

These commentors obviously do not kniw what they are talking about regarding the so called " smiling " which the athlete is not doing . They should focus far more on keeping facts straight -- not their assumptions of what an athlete may / may not be doing . Focus on their performance -- not their so called facial expressiions .
