The Finish Line - The full story

[@windyphilly]

I used this video as inspiration on my way to my dream college. Such an amazing story. He may have died 2 months ago but that legend will live on. I am fueled to FINISH all the time after this. Don't worry about how long you'll live, just make your time good when you can.

[@TheBlackWound]

the NY football Giants used this video as an inspiration to win the Super Bowl. Thier motto was "Finish".... based on this video. Truly inspirational.

[@reyefinero3595]

This story served as an inspiration for me when I was recovering from near death due to pneumonia and ARDS. 8-months later, I ran a 10-miler.

[@essenceofelle1]

amazing story. A youtube video has never made me cry before, but while watching this, I was crying my eyes out. I don't know anyone in this video, but ALS is a terrible disease, and my aunt just died from it a month ago. Its terrible that it effects the most honorable people. Great team, great coach!

[@kyzrsze]

I would love to how just exactly how 4 people did not like this story? This is one of the most inspirational videos I have seen on many levels. The coach's plight with ALS and the runner's couage to finish the race......

[@123starbaby321]

I could rewatch this all day. This is exactly what I needed.

[@emorowati]

This is sad. What a wonderful life.. What a wonderful gift. He will live on through those that knew him touched him...loved him.

[@emmas9928]

She’s awesome and so is he.

[@Jake2Flashyy]

all these comments are so old hope this blows up again!

[@snm1718]

just read an article about this team/coach in runners world magazine's january 2012 issue...amazing team - hard-working girls inspired and trained by a coach who loves running, loves his life and his job, and doesn't give up.

[@isabelmatteo7095]

I'm on this team now and this makes me so darn sad

[@theenforcer8487]

I run for all those who can't

[@jakemcphee2227]

You just made my day. This video is in my heart. I believe in anything. I run for all those who can't. That's an inspiration 7 words.

[@morganfaunce1824]

Me too

[@wilangeldrifter]

I cry evytime

[@ShortenMonteCristo]

Amazing story, just intrinsic.

[@Dat1d00D]

Very inspirational!

[@inveca]

"you need to finish because that's the point."

[@jacktruong1306]

thomas perez Exactly

[@exosky3753]

props to my coach for bringing me here

[@awesomeneiss]

We're taking the division this year for Cross Country.

[@karenmarsicano9925]

This video should have gotten way more likes

[@TheYammerAm]

Oh my god sobbing.

[@n_blt11]

She is my new inspiration.

[@SR71_Blackbird]

This story is what The Giants watched in the first meeting of the 2011-2012 season. Their motto for the season was "finish". They won the Super Bowl.

[@sugarplum1011001]

Is any body else in tears?!!!

[@anthonykroll7280]

Most depressing part of cross country is witnessing your teammate fall short from the finish line. And to have to crawl there. Cause you can't help them... :/

[@tonymichaelmonchinski2624]

Wow passing 150 people that is crazy

[@tonymichaelmonchinski2624]

And then the crawl to the finsih line is pure heart and how much water did she drink before race

[@Daleyah]

AWESOME!!!!

[@วัชราผันนภานุกุล]

เก่งที่สุด.

[@olemissman2012]

The only person who can tell you "no" is you, and you don't have to listen.

[@lamarathon10]

nice story

[@ohemgee38]

you run at a much faster pace on shorter distances and if you go to hard and don't get water you can get dehydrated.

[@MarkSyno]

On that day, Reynolds was the mentor to Tracy.

[@johnmckeon3468]

That's what heart looks like.

[@bellbrookhockey44]

well obviously you don't know what it's like to finish giving it everything you had. If you've never run a race where you had to collapse at the end, you have never really pushed yourself

[@sky2315]

Racing in conditions hotter than what your body is able to take.

[@Kiddtoxik114]

Great Video.

[@ripperduck]

This is the end of the xcountry season, these girls have been running hella lot all year. This happens a lot more than you know....

[@bestmode3890]

Does anybody know what happened to her

[@pugetsounddreamsurvey1818]

SpideyPool! ...too funny

[@jorjapanda1224]

This video is 10 videos old

[@fal33con]

i no that girl bro

[@ktmluva7]

Didn't hydrate enough the night before the state meet? Weird

[@bestmode3890]

ktmluva7 It’s not the fact that she was dehydrated because she looked all fit and healthy even though it’s unknown, what I think happened was is that her body was so tired to the point were she went passed her pain threshold. The good news is that she never gave up.

[@ythappyjoe4187]

The earliest comment was 6 years ago? I guess not anymore

[@jorjapanda1224]

Not anymore

[@GShoe32]

2:41, that chick looks a ton like Brian Molko

[@taniabaxterox3]

we all have different bodies and builds. She was a 17 year old girl you are probably like a 20 year old guy.

[@goeventing12]

awkward considering no one has disliked

[@kevinluu2003]

Never save anything for the swim back!

[@caddex]

it's cause you're slow.. a 42 minute 10km ? that's it?

[@slipperychef7975]

Ur a douch bag

[@bsmith9088]

Keep in mind they're female, and they were running on a wet hilly course in the cold

[@davidsalisbury8830]

two people disliked

[@SuperMonsterTaco]

She maybe didn't want to drink alot of water and have less weight, it actually happens alot... Or maybe she got cotton mouth the possibilities are endless.

[@ripperduck]

Then you should know better....

[@scionizzle]

You obviously are not a runner and have never participated in Cross Country. Therefor, you cannot talk and have no right to state your opinion.

[@axzel575]

hahahahahaha

[@jaredswartz9149]

the girl ruined it for everyone

[@bsmith9088]

how?

[@1314520Joanna]

University > Lowell

[@jmacgregor1773]

[@fal33con]
