Molly Seidel - 2015 NCAA Cross Country Championship - Full race

[@Lina_al_j]

great to be able to watch this race ... would be even better if the cameraman was aware he's not supposed to be recording trees, but runners ...

[@MrJimbo327]

If you had paid attention to the commentary you would have heard they lost the feed from the camera in the lead vehicle.

[@eyes2daskiesrps275]

Bro you are dumb they said they lost control

[@JulieCooke-x4x]

Trying😮

[@meowziklvr]

Many will check out this video because of Molly Seidel (congratulations!) But note 20:01 "now we see a New Mexico runner coming in 4th ..." That runner is Courtney Frerichs.

[@math_the_why_behind]

Thanks for that information! (I was also interested that Allie Ostrander got second.)

[@jasonaced2306]

That’s so cool that they’re giving her recognition like this

[@NCAAChampionships]

Thanks - we’ll try to post her other championships as well.

Hallo

[@kaismithley7384]

this is honestly the worst coverage of a race i've seen

[@RedRiver_2747]

I have read the same comment from somebody on almost every race I watched.

[@machineofadream]

They apparently had no feed from the chase cameras which were supposed to supply like half of the footage, so they did what they could with what they had functional, and remained professional.

[@gabequinn9796]

NBC topped this during Tokyo lol

[@mridley5685]

What a beautiful fall foliage video, wish this annoying xc race wasn't happening in the background.

[@madelynbasinet946]

Mat Ridley bahahahahaha

[@TheJedsdead]

thanks for putting the video up, but what a horrible production. You are not showing the race for a good portion.

[@johnnymac8680]

What a wonderful performance by Molly in the Olympics!

[@britainreynolds7365]

Thanks for posting these! It's awesome to watch her past championship titles!

[@chayvui]

1:35 spectators run so fast

[@MinaTue]

This is fully entertaining. Spectators are 100% in it!

[@BTSF]

Pro tip: don't take a drink whenever the play-by-play guy says "Bob" .... thanks for posting; congrats Molly!!

[@Whatever45302]

Wish they would comment on what their pace is

A bet this woman could run a great marathon!

Who’s here after her Olympic podium

[@docpj72]

great race by Frerichs -buried in the pack at 6:48 and made her way up to 4th by the finish to help New Mexico get the title; a sign of things to come for her!

[@soccercjt99]

Outstanding coverage by the NCAA. Mostly shooting empty sections of the course, fans running around, and the commentators. Why bother having the leading cart with a camera if you are not going to use their footage?

[@elijahperry9224]

If you listened to the commentary the camera in lead cart broke they filmed best they could

[@Unclewhistler007]

Nice view of the trees for half the video. Jeez

1:45 when you see it lol

She also could have been a pacer, they will sometimes run with a person to help them set a pace but won’t finish the race

The first minute feels like a LSD trip may be, I thanks myself that I was sit otherwise I would pass out.

lol, the spectators are running their own race

[@jefft6802]

Try getting someone who knows how to operate the camera!

[@lilyhasbrook3545]

Is no one going to talk about the dude in the orange flipping over at 1:37

[@musik102]

I really do hate it when things are happening in the race but commentators are not reacting immediately to the action but feel the need to keep rambling on about some background info.

[@jamesmroczka152]

at 1:45 that dude in the background in the bright orange bit it

[@ZimbaZumba]

You put the name of the winner in the title!?

[@johmcg64]

running with awesomeness. The other runners know it is not going to beat Ollie Ostrander.

[@kenzieperkins4873]

At like 1:40 you can see a dude in a bright orange shirt fall😭

[@DanJacoby62]

I have to say it - the camera worked was lousy, and the commentators were incompetent. Pathetic coverage!

[@steveoconnor7069]

The wireless cameras crapped out on them. Don't know who the "play by play" guy is but one can't get better credentials than 2 time NCAA champ Bob Kennedy aka "The White Kenyan." They had to wing it quite a bit with the lead pack camera failing so I am sure the script was trashed.

[@DanJacoby62]

Still, at the very least they could have reported on the actual race rather than chatting about inanities so much. How much homework did they do? Did they know more than about six of the runners' names? Also, not to demean Bob Kennedy's college athletic prowess (because it was excellent), but being a topflight athlete isn't necessarily a credential for being a broadcaster.

[@bob_o_baby826]

@@DanJacoby62 They... couldn't... see... the race. Unless someone was radioing in lead changes, they were shooting blind. Also, even if they had a list of names and bib numbers, the bibs weren't visible from most of the angles.

[@quinnleague1916]

tom111 wtf

[@soilgrasswaterair]

Imagine if women weren’t made to believe or encouraged to literally dress in underwear for these things. And please no more ”it’s to run faster”, then how come you don’t see men in these tiny little underwear panties?! It’s degrading! There aren’t even leaves on the trees, and super cold and still basically no clothes. Look at other athletes who run and they manage just fine to get good times and still wear appropriate clothing. Messed up mentality that people keep entertaining.

[@Trancefreak12]

It's not degrading; it's just some skin on the leg. Calf skin or thigh skin, why does it matter? People should just stop worrying about what athletes are wearing. Athlete women already have to deal with body shaming and body image issues. Also, when you're running at max effort in a cross country race, nothing above freezing temperature is cold. You will feel warm no matter what.

[@steveoconnor7069]

I don't know where or when the briefs started but I can tell you most of the fans and runners don't care about that they are there to see the event.

[@lancastergerard]

If it were ‘super cold’ they would have hats, arm sleeves and gloves. They wear them because they feel faster. Guys don’t wear bikini bottoms to the beach or as underwear and hate wearing split shorts. Get over it

[@davidyang1207]

just a guess, but maybe the reason that men's running shorts are a little looser and longer is for some extra "private space?" Hands are really the only part of the body that gets particularly cold on a cold run. That's why half of these runners are wearing gloves. It was around 10 degrees Fahrenheit on the day of my high school new englands xc race. We were warm for a good hour and half AFTER the race with just our singlets, shorts, and gloves.

[@jhernandez16]

What. Thats actually an advantage. Less drag.
