Conner Mantz Wins 2021 USATF Half Marathon National Championships In Pro Debut STABILIZED

[@lylestavast7652]

I thought at first - what's with the letterboxing... then realized what I was seeing... nice job generating a decently stabilized cut of it.

[@iRunfastXC]

Thank you! Crazy, eh?

[@peterdvideos]

Conner Mantz is amazing. He’s a gutsy machine.

[@scottharris5264]

Everyone just watching Mantz. He was in control the whole way. A walk in the park.

[@alexforte8]

Thank you for making this!

[@iRunfastXC]

No problem!

[@zugzug733]

Stabilized is much better, but Yeesh man I’ve seen better stability on uneven cross country courses, and this is a perfectly flat asphalt road

[@iRunfastXC]

Same. Unbelievable. And they want you to pay $13/month for this...

[@anthonypayne2526]

OMG, first question when starting this video was "What in the actual hell was happening with that camera person?????" How is it possible to be that unsteady while driving slowly down an asphalt road.

[@docpj72]

Looking forward to what Mantz can do in his future as a pro; I always liked his gutsy running style in the NCAA, such as his top-10 debut in cross nationals in 2018....

[@anthonypayne2526]

HAHAHAHA, I tried to watch the unstabilized video. LOL, it's impossible So, thank you for stabilizing it for us. I can't believe that was somehow commissioned by our sport's governing body for a national championship race. What a clown show. I think they gave the camera to a 6 year old riding a rocking horse.

[@joemac4880]

Great job Connor. Looking forward to Olympics 2024

[@waterproof4403]

He'd get lapped lol

[@watchesinthewild6264]

Appreciate the chance to see Conner in action.

[@dukeholbrook7750]

Thanks for telling me who won in the title. Saved me 45 minutes.

[@iRunfastXC]

I gotchu 🤣 If your watching this, you likely already knew the result, and just couldn’t find the race video anywhere. This is what the Olympics does.

[@1519Spring]

I guess I'm the exception. I know all these names, but I'd have had no clue who won if it hadn't been in the title, but seeing Mantz's pro debut was part of my motivation to sit through this atrocious camera work. Pretty good commentary and nice to see pretty much the whole race to see how everything developed.

[@tpalmen]

He's like Seabiscuit, a little knock-knee'd short guy with all the heart who loves to stare you down and say let's go!

[@russs3001]

Read the book. It was great!

[@stevenwaldon5728]

Jesus Christ this would be unwatchable without the stabilization.

[@iRunfastXC]

It was awful. Still pretty bad, but at least you can follow the runners. Original linked in description.

[@millicentsquirrelhole582]

My dog, normally comatose...was watching this and...due to the camera dude's shakes...immediately leaped up, twirled around 6 times and then... hurled his breakfast kibble all over Mrs. Edna Boil's pet prawn...(prawns aren't slugs, either)...

[@ddahstan6876]

The future running machine for the U.S.A. Let's hope he's always healthy and in tune with his body and mind.... and ready to kick hard around the corner. Root Root Connor Mantz! 🙂

[@a6beats221]

The craziest part is that bekele held that same pace for twice as long …. Insane 🔥

[@waterproof4403]

Bekele is in another realm with Haile Gebrselassie. They are the elite of the elites. This video is a college level. The women's word record is way way way faster than this

[@kickedmarlin128]

@@waterproof4403 No its not? Mantz ran 60:5X here...

[@waterproof4403]

@@kickedmarlin128 lol the clock said otherwise tho. Must have been an error then

[@mytrainingblogbyelmore3109]

@@waterproof4403 I noticed that too--it was 1:15-something when Mantz crossed the finish line. My guess is the women started 15 minutes before the men, and the clock displays the women's race time. The men are starting to catch female runners late in the race.

[@mauricepointer9555]

Mr Mantz hasn't lost a step, rather he's stepped up to the pro circuit with style.

[@WendyCityPro]

As a road race video producer, I appreciate your stabilization efforts. Also reminded why I rarely shoot from the lead vehicle. 😆

[@uncleian0549]

I got to see him today at the Foot locker high school meet.

[@americanpatriot6574]

Connor is a nice humble guy! I hope my sons can follow in his footsteps as a person and athlete!

[@christophersmith3254]

There was talk about 15,000 prize money for a league. Considering the hours these guys put jnto this, and how hard it is to be the creme, that's an awful pay

[@davidfrey5654]

Conner Mantz is already a legend.

[@DavidDeeble]

Connor Mantz has, in fact, run at least two half-marathons before this race.

[@runner4life551]

He has run several haha

[@richc8837]

Who IS the guy in the pink shirt. Big dude to be in that pack. Good effort! Ah, Morgan Pearson, a NJ native! Good race by all!

[@CsabaTothMr]

What do you use for image stabilization? It's amazing how much shake it can handle!

[@iRunfastXC]

It takes a looong time to process for a video this long, and I wish I could zoom in to hide the moving border, but iMovie has really good native stabilization coding!

[@beauf2]

Great work stabilizing this crap. Wonder if someone controlling a drone or two from lead cart would be better for all races. Also, when these races from HS XC through road races are streamed they should also capture HD version to post later with audio.

[@brickriver9627]

Conner is the man... LFFGGGG

[@timothymyszak1163]

What is up with the camera??? lol

[@cicirunner]

There is a clip that plays twice near the end

[@Elitetrisci]

Fair amount of inaccurate info including mantz has done multiple local half marathons through college

[@bunnieg6294]

It’s a fact he’s been running local half’s since his early teens.

[@user-ro7ee7]

Тне Best Runner Mantz Good Luck Conner My favorite...

[@rookiecollins7820]

Things sure have changed since my day...I was third in this Championship in a time that woulda gotten my ass handed to me by the women's field today.

[@jonathanmartin2146]

I live in Columbia, SC and had no idea this was happening 2.5 hours from me

USATF does a great job with publicity, eh? 💀 🤦‍♂️ Glad it’s up to them to grow the sport in the US.

@@waterproof4403 No, it was a running clock from the start of the women's race. The women started about 14-15 minutes before the men. That's why you see them passing a whole bunch of women near the finish.

This is the video from the men's race, not the women's race. I uploaded the video for that on this channel, too.
