I love cross just a bunch of skinny nerds with more mental toughness than 99.9% of the population.

[@bigfoothunter8080]

The mental fortitude acquired from XC isn't necessarily applicable to other aspects of life.

[@gottide]

This is one of the best comments I’ve ever seen. Thank you

[@gottide]

@bigfoothunter800 It does because it gives you a positive mindset on things that are hard

[@frosties1123]

​@@bigfoothunter8080it most certainly is, as a xc runner myself I can attest to that

2:28 "don't know which Newbury park guy that is" lol (Colin Sahlman) That probably didn't age too well.

I was looking for someone else to spot it out other than me.

[@SuperiorNoob272]

Imagine being so fast that you qualify a national race as a sophomore Edit-freshman

[@mason7642]

leo young was in this race as a freshmen

[@SuperiorNoob272]

Thanks for the clarification

[@SuperiorNoob272]

I thought leo was a sophomore in this race

[@bfg216]

Must have killer genetics in that family

[@Horizons9406]

I think Lex was injured for that race idk about Leo but they were national level. Lex’s 5k was a 14:44 a national record.

[@Erik-dz9rn]

The way newbury dominated that season was insane and something ill definitely remember from my time in hs

[@Erik-dz9rn]

they fr had me jumpin out of my seat from watching xc😭

[@oscarjewers9645]

the team with the twins were soo much better with 3 top 10 runners in the country

[@ningkaiyang]

Another future name here that's popped up only recently, Graham Blanks does his classic intro move here 😂 0:35

[@martiverbon7683]

0:03 no way a kid from rhode island throws up a set at the beginning of a xc race

[@vhjackson663]

foo im glad i wasn’t the only one to see that💀💀💀

[@RobertJWaid]

Great coverage and nice to watch again. Would have been nice to include final team and individual results.

[@MsMsmak]

It's amazing to see so many tremendous runners competing like this.

[@inappropriatejohnson]

And now, 4-1/2 years later, Nico has crushed the NCAA records in both 10,000 and 5,000 on track and will probably be an Olympian this summer.

[@Erik-dz9rn]

this is so nostalgic I remember anticipating this race so much leading up to it and being excited to watch this and watched it live after my xc season ended on my phone with the fog outside my house

[@OfficalNovaRBLX]

Is nobody gonna talk about how the dude tried hitting nico young 12:21 💀

[@sydneykasahararuns]

omg..... and he even looked back.....

[@Haydenhunter913]

Oh my God just saw it

[@OfficialShaqtus]

This is so amazing. It's also funny and cool at 18:30 where literal steam is being formed just from the runners.

[@michaelblack6129]

Happy 21st Nico! 👊🏿

[@rchsxctf]

“idk which newbury park guy that is” goes on to win nxn 2 years later

[@samyeetyalthefirst9909]

upload is right on time 👍🏼

[@noahjensen1718]

Nathan Green on the start line at 0:52 seconds is weird to see now that he won a NCAA championship.

[@LambeauLeeeper]

In those kinds of conditions! Awesome stuff!

[@bricewatson]

this video makes me so nervous for my season coming up

[@strikersemperfi2531]

The comradery is just amazing with cross country. I remember that; people getting done and embracing each other, knowing nobody knows what they go through without being a cross country runner.

[@lucaswhite-wd8ro]

It was a great race to watch

[@Theo-jw6hz]

Thanks for sharing. Bet he's gunna kill it in college!

[@aricaccetta3458]
