Congratulations to her and her time........but I will never understand how national time records are determined in cross country when they are run on different courses with different degrees of difficulty......if the national race was run on the same course every year then it would make more sense to me.

[@dfreschl]

Same could be said of marathons

[@thesamuellanham]

footlocker and nike cross are at the same course every year

[@agustinmanyari]

I don’t think so. Marathons have many regulations of weather, wind, sun , track pavement quality, etc.

[@jedidiah5131]

The more sweeping corners you have is also advantageous for setting records...You run corner to corner, depending on the length of the race, you can easily cut off 25m on this race.

[@patrickkgoodwin8859]

They are determined by the runner not the course all runners are performing on that course that day those conditions. Champions perform in all conditions at the time of event no matter what obstical faced.

@@thelegends222 Plus, in XC it's always a matter of whether it's an easier course or harder course that will determine a faster time. Tuohy would probably run well under 16 minutes on this course🤷🏾‍♂️

She is so deceptively fast it’s mind boggling to me. It looks like she’s just taking short choppy steps with just a little higher than normal turnover. But she’s absolutely flying! I really hope she stays healthy.

[@dvvalant]

Same here Dan. I'm no expert on running styles but if you showed me a short video of her running I would never guess she is by any means fast.

[@xxxmtb]

@@dvvalant just the camera angle

[@awlhunt]

Agree it does look awkward. I’ve not seen her before but she has only moderate hamstring contraction, versus Katelyn Tuohy, who is practically kicking her own butt with every step, particularly across mile/2-mile/3k/5k track distances. I would expect this to shorten her stride but it’s not slowing her down one bit. I’d be interested to see her doing some shorter track work to see whether she has the ability to toe-off stronger and open her gait up and see if that makes a difference when she kicks.

[@MooMooMath]

I was at the race. There was one tough hill but the footing was hard packed. I also saw her race at ASICS which was a slow course and she ran low 16 something. It would have been be so much fun watching her race NIKE NXS if they would have had it this year.

[@InquisitiveSearcher]

An excellently run race. However, when I watch her run I have a hard time believing she was running that fast as her stride just seems to short to get the job done. But there can be no argument with what she did accomplish. Congratulations to her!

[@mprkg]

Katelyn Tuohy has a huge stride, great running form, ripped arms, but is short. Jenna barely moves her arms, and has a tiny stride. I don't get how she is so fast here. Well- it was her last great race. Didn't run again in race until Sept. 2022 at BYU and almost came in last at Cowboy Jamboree. Her running career is done, and she made a horrible mistake by going to BYU.

[@nickmastera]

I cried from happiness! Good job girl!

[@jameshughes9766]

I wish I got to run a flat course like this, don’t have this in NY or the NE really. A good race for her, although a 167 speed rating for her really tells you how easy the course is.

[@zugzug733]

Yeah I mean it’s a constant downhill and the surface is essentially a grass track. That’s why the only thing you need to pay attention to is placement. After a bit you really start to realize ranking and things like that don’t matter and it comes down to how you do 1v1 same course same humidity.

[@Arturo-sm1tb]

Seriously, its no surprise the time was under 16 minutes. PERFECT conditions, footing and weather. That turf looks like a perfect fairway/putting green. Short little rolling hills take nothing out of you if you train anything more than flat. Great race, but come on, this proves nothing in a comparison to Touhey.

[@freshappleseed6966]

Firstly, I don't know why everyone is so hard pressed to compare her with Katelyn. Sure, it makes sense to weigh their performances next to each other considering that they're both in a league of their own and the fastest in hs girl history, but there's more to their races than just that. It doesn't matter how you slice it, Jenna just ran the fastest xc 5k time for hs girls in history. Flat course or not, this has never been done before and clearly marks her as one of the fastest females in high school to run the 5k. Makes her a lot faster than a lot of high school boys in the nation too tbh.

[@erikpeterson25]

Great to see !! Way to go Jenna....look forward to more

[@benchavis1624]

It’s unbelievable you guys did such a good job videoing the race and then blew the finish. Someone needs to get some video training or find another job!

[@gcsumat7900]

Anyone else remember that time they watched a historical race, to see a girl break 16:00 for a national record.....only to have the camera guy f-up the last 2 seconds so no one could see it actually happen!

[@rickiovine2170]

Let’s be kinder to the camera crew for this video. It was excellent coverage. They obviously were not in the official camera cart and were blocked from staying at the front through the finish line. You can see in the video they had to pull off just before the finish. Unfortunately they lost the ability to keep the camera on Jenna. Kudos to the makers of this video. You need to go to the official coverage by hitting the link that they provided.

[@pozzythump868]

Well.... we have the mentality here that there's equality, in "coverage" of the race being for the leader to be forced to be right behind a motorized pacer... and zero coverage of the other 200 women. And to have unskilled verbal coverage try to compare times of entirely different courses.

[@andrearatkovic4048]

Super interesting running form

[@scrumpymanjack]

Interesting how? Like the way she appears to shuffle with short stride and very little back lift? Absolutely horrific style and so inefficient. Someone should teach her how to run properly. With her ability, strength and stamina, she would be even better than she is now. P

[@chasebrown850]

[Full Race] minus the finish

[@icarus8471]

You don't break someone's record in xc unless runners are running the same course and you are talking about breaking a course record. In xc courses and degrees of difficulty are too different to compare. Tuohy's Goddard Park run speed rated at 176.

[@alexramirez6103]

Built different

[@canopybreezesoutdoors4916]

We are so glad FT is posting this historical and exciting video! Jenna Hutchins’ run as well as Parker Wolfe’s at the RLNXC was mesmerizing.. Although we do know FloSports owns MileSplit, we were really hoping to see the coverage on both platforms. It is now obvious that these talented kids are more interested in the competition and less about who the national sponsor is. The National sponsors flat out failed them all as well as the sport of XC this year. Has anyone even tried to buy a pair of running shoes inside a Foot Locker recently? You can’t find a decent pair of running shoes there and finding spikes is out of the question and we are not exaggerating. Although we’re sure backpacks and corporate sponsorships will eventually come to Huntsville, it was nice to see the raw power of a from the ground up start up idea catch fire to fill a void in a matter of weeks that resulted into a full-blown championship in a matter of weeks. There were so many kids that were robbed and disappointed when Nike and Foot Looker had to make a political statement by canceling their events. They could just as well have moved it out of the states that were restricted the event to another state. Congrats to @RunningLane and we wish them all the success for a continued success in hosting “THE” XC high school national championship in the future. We also loved the Silver Race opportunity that brought 290 additional runners to the venue. The 300 runners in the Gold Race was so exciting vs. the Balboa Park 40 only pack chess match for both the girls and the boys championship races. A true cross country race, in our opinion, should resemble the battlefield from Braveheart and that’s exactly what we witnessed in Huntsville last Saturday. Thank you to @MileSplit also for simulcasting the event LIVE for members. (although the Silver Race camera work was subpar) If you’re not a member of @MileSplit, you should consider it. No, we’re not affiliated with them, we just want them to get better and more local state subscribers will help .@canopybreezes

[@reginald7214]

This race is going to be super popular in the future. Everybody can go get a PR and be at an enjoyable park. And not so cold in the late fall. it's going to skew the all time records like crazy though. The boys race was a mockery. But, like the NFL, more offense= more eyeballs. I could se this course taking over for footlocker someday. once they get the camera guys an electric cart it''ll be good to go.

[@Oooooo-xi2mx]

The cart leading the first runner almost never films through the finish. (It normally doesn’t drive over the finish line). There should be a cut to a stationary camera behind the finish line..

[@michaelsamudio7484]

Great running is an art. Creative when it counts, pushes through the tape.

[@viironan1314]

I saw somebody say that this course wasnt “ridiculously fast” tf outta here. This is the fastest course in the nation and the times show. Respect to all of the amazing athletes in this race but just realize there are a lot of amazing athletes in the northwest that are slept on. We would dream to run a course this fast.

Long...long ago...in a place far...far away...I held a track record at my school in the low hurdles for 35 years. But... it was finally broken. Happy for the guy who broke it. I was at the track meet when he did. I encouraged him before his race. After...I quipped...It certainly took you long enough. Hope it lasts longer than my record did. Truly happy for him. Trivia...my record was the longest held record at the school.

[@christopherhaak9824]

Jenna runs with a super high cadence and a bit of a chopped stride and it works well for her. It is the form she uses. That being said, I have seen her in other runs and in stretching and she does have some opportunity to improve her hip range of motion and open up her stride some. I'm sure that she is aware of that.

Barely breaks 17 mins all year then gets national record. Something way off about the course. The boys field had 32 guys under 15 mins which is unheard of. Tuohy would have run a 14 min on this course.

They really should not be running an internal combustion engine in front of a long distance runner.

[@icarus8471]

And just one year later we know the story. The Runninglane course is just super fast, downhills, flat, hard packed. It is designed to produce very fast times. The top girl runs 16:03 and 20 run below 17:00. And on the boys side four runners "broke" Ritz's record and about 75 ran sub-15.

How do you compare times when they don’t run this on the same course. I don’t think it’s possible to compare times because the courses they run are different.

This is a cross country record. Not a track record.

[@cocoablini]
