My favorite thing about this sport shown at the end when Morgan and Grant have a really good hug

[@lukeoutloud2731]

I I love how the announcers are nonchalantly addressing Sunday night baseball while these guys are going through the worst pain of their lives

[@Clift0n]

And they had basically no reaction to the sprint finish 😂😂 so lame

[@HouseofJello]

I hate to be so rude, but they are genuinely some of the worst track and field commentators in existence. No wonder Americans don’t get excited for track.

[@yourintodepression599]

Dude ran a 52 that last lap.... that’s insane

[@thundergun933]

He could have went 51. Did you see him slow down and wipe the sweat off his eyes? That bothers me for the fact that it was the NCAA championship. Pitiful sportsmanship. We all get that he won easily. Very unnecessary. Hope his coach had something to say to him about that.

[@thundergun933]

If that's not enough the announcers were kissing his ass the whole time.

@@eddygilbert8908right because NCAA champions don't ever know not to slow down before the line especially when he was in a dead sprint for a NCAA championship title. He couldn't have waited to wipe his face until a half a second later after crossing the line.

Gotta feel for Grant Fisher. He always gives it his all and ran a gutsy race to try to beat Morgan. Made a move with 500 to go and again into the final turn. Wasn't quite enough but damn, kid has courage.

purely tactical race this was. Centro and co were running a time trial where you try to hold the most consistent pace to get the best time. you don't usually see that in big races, people tend to hold off a little and kick nearer the end once they think they can win it

Someday Morgan will regret coasting through the finish line. When he thinks he has won, he always slows down before the finish line.

This 14:06.23 5,000 meters is unimpressive as our Division ll top finalists ran a 13:53, 13:55, and 13:56 for our top three spots in 1980 in California. And this is Division l ??

It's not that they're slower, it's the fact that all races now are ran "tactically" because people want to leave it to the last lap and sprint it. All these guys are doing sub 14 in their sleep but its unimpressive and frankly embarrassing to be wasting such opportunities like that

[@negativesplits06]

These NCAA finals are usually tactical races. These guys only care about place in these types of races. Even if McDonald would’ve won in 20 minutes, his place is what matters. These guys can run sub 13:40 in the 5k if they time trialed in perfect conditions.
