I got literal chills when the dad was talking about how Brooke and Libby were talking and how Brooke was like "c' mon Libby you can catch her" and Libby said "No Brooke, you can catch her," that was literally so beautiful and empowering ... just wow
Dawn The Artist Ikr! That’s was great
Dawn The Artist dude fucking same!
@Joe Kinchicken someone didn't make the Cross country team
@Joe Kinchicken Bro not trying to kink shame or anything, but you should stop sharing your gay fantasies with everyone
Joe Kinchicken fuck you if you’re hating on cross country why’re you doing it on a cross country video dumbshit
Damn that was emotional. Whoever edited this did a great job.
Chronox5 y did I almost cry?
My eyes got watery
Jacki Crew I know I did
Made tendinitis look like a fatal disease with that suspense
In this case tendinitis was just the symptom. bilateral femoral stress fractures were the real issue and that did in fact end her career in college.
Its tough to ignore the pain and continue to run . She is a very tough determined individual .
stop freaking out clearly y'all do not get it when you are an athlete and you are so so passionate about a sport and as a parent you see how much your child loves the sport it is not as easy as nope don't run
I agree! I had to give up running state a few seasons ago because of an injury. It was a big deal for me, since that was my first year of being #1 on my team (my team wasn't that good so I'm not super fast) but it was such a hard decision for me. Its not a simple as "just don't run" because at the same time you feel like you're letting your team down. I've ran a few races that I probably shouldn't have because of that.
Exactly
If ur not an athlete you will miss the bus on this video. Yes, that means all of you below who say her parents are awful, coach should be fired, etc. You CANNOT stop a determined athlete. Period.
Smileypants Cuppycake EXACTLY, if you don’t let the athlete make the decision to pull themselves then they won’t tell you next time they are injured
Peeeriod 👌
No... you can definitely stop an athlete if its necessary and if further injury is a possibility. But all those people screaming about how terrible her parents and coach were need to remember that her doctor said it was ok for her to run. should the parents have ignored the doctor?
For all the comments shaming the coach/parents/directors for either making or allowing her to run, here is this. As an athlete, and a seriously determined person, I wouldn’t have allowed them to keep me from running, especially if I made state. I have lateral patellar maltraction in my knees and it is very painful to run, but I am a runner down to my soul, and nothing could keep me from running.
Morgan Kelli I bet your parents would keep you from running (that is if their responsible).
you dumb but coaches should not be.
Morgan Kelli EXACTLY
EXACTLY RIGHT! LISTEN UP HATERS YOU DO NOT KNOW THE WORK THAT IS PUT INTO RUNNING! If you are one of the top runners on your team you have to all get in the same place range to win it! So she should be awarded for her determination and inspiration to others!
Katie The best Yes people who seem to care more about her physical wellbeing than her coaches and parents are for sure haters. Makes a lot of sense.
I love how her parents were really just crediting her (if that makes sense) but she kept bringing the team into it, it was never just all about her.
Cross Country is gruelling, even if you dont win you never give up. It teaches awesome life lessons... never give up. Others may be counting on you.
This girl shows what a XC team is like. You never, ever stop, no matter how hard it will be to keep going.
If ur an athlete u cried during this video no excuses
Kayla Ochoa I’m an athlete and didn’t cry. All I see is retarded parents
Kayla Ochoa yeah (I run cross country so I understand)
I did cry!!!! I'm in softball and I'm pitcher but I got injured from my shoulder so I pictured myself saying, "no you can do it" to my backup pitcher. I got so emotional!! 😭
I didn’t she didn’t have to do it if she didn’t want it so ya she made the choice.
my parents are concerned
You guys criticizing the coaching staff and parents, have you ever ran cross country? Stuff like this happens all time
@Hogwarts Tutor yes, like my teammate. Even if we told her to rest, she wouldn't.
@@bloodybaroon1593 you can't break a runners dedication to the sport
I know of a girl that had a heart attack and stroke during a race and my friend is annorexic- couldn’t even go to school, but ran. I don’t really get that but it happens
Agreed.
The best miler and the best 800 runner my school had were both seniors the year we won state. Best team we had in 22 years. Neither of them ran before Regionals that year, and neither of them ran during track season. We wouldn't have won without them. Two races, and only two races, while injured.
This is the norm in this sport.
Very true. Also, being one of those athletes, I can tell you that even if my coach would of told me to not run, i still would of. I ran with a stress fracture in college only to end up breaking my tibia. It was just one of those lessons you have to learn on your own.
Damm, who is cutting onions in my room?
Same one in my room too.
I am crying.... never thought i would cry because of this video ..... everything was spot on
I give her so much credit for what she's been through! God bless her heart! Still proud of what she did for her team! Libby, your a great runner!
put me in tears
I used to be the best runner in my county for cross country for my age group in school for a couple of years. On the side, I've always been doing swimming as a way to compete and keep my body in shape. But around 2 years ago my coach left and I completely lost my position as top 5, then top 10. Now it's been worse and I bunch if my teammates have quit, gotten injuries, and whatever sports we do, we physically have gotten worse. It really shows how your environment can affect you whether it be by a person or an injury to yourself.
Which state do you live in?
Great story, great job, wonderful family. There is just something about laying out everything you have, well done.
I come back to this whenever I need a good cry
I was crying I'm a runner also and this is just touching
I'm a runner
I just ran 7 km and I'm a grade 5 and the way it worked was there is 4-8 and I'm a girl and I got 1 place🙈😸😸
I was literally crying 😭. This is super emotional
Good job girls 🏃🏼♀️
Very painful injury, had tendinitis in my ankle a while ago and it was very sore!
I stubbed a toe once…the pain made me swear
Awesome to see she cared that much and was willing to keep it up even after the pain kicked in. When I use to race there were so many people who gave up and didn’t care about the race. Best of luck in the future.
You gotta do what you gotta do, all dedicated athletes have been there
Wow, that was beautiful! Thanks for sharing such a powerful & spiritual accomplishment!
What a great story, thanks for sharing it!
Awesome. Great job Libby!
Those young ladies worked their guts out and winning gold at state IS all you could imagine and so much more!!
Cross country is like an addiction. It is hell but you keep coming back for more
Damn I wish my injury was recoverable... Freshman year track had acute hip pain first invitational of the season, felt better after a week of rest but pain started up again as I kept running. Whole time coach believes the injury is "all in my head", so he tells me to just run through it. Turns out I had a torn labrum, hip impingement, and mild articular cartilage damage which I finally got surgery for a year after the initial injury. Hip never felt the same after, definitely don't regret having the surgery but unfortunately the articular cartilage just doesn't heal. Now coming into track senior year still can't run even a couple miles without my hip flaring up. I can feel the pain when I walk and I just have to accept that I'll probably have to get a hip replacement in my 30s-40s.
I get the feeling. After a very successful xc and Indoor season, during my freshman track season my legs started feeling pain with any exertion. A lot of the time it felt like I was walking through a pit of fire. Finally after 6 months and endless doctors I was diagnosed with compartment syndrome. I got surgery too but my legs have never been the same. I went from 19 minute 5k’s to 28 minute 5k’s. I can still do nothing and the doctors don’t get it because they said I should have recovered. Going into my junior year with my legs flaring up after walking up a flight of stairs.
Respect to libby her team and coach. Dedicated
I don't see any onions around. 😂😂 This was a very emotional and powerful video. I loved it.
Awesome. Congrats and hope your college career is all you seek it to be
This will likely be the highlight of her running career. Good idea to make the sacrifice.
John Seifert omg I agree everybody is hating when they should be congratulating her 🙄
Hayden Setty he was being sarcastic, this girl was on her way to a very successful senior year and things were looking very bright for her collegiate career but all of that came crashing down because instead of letting her injury heal, her parents and coach didn’t hold her back and let her run at states when she was in so much pain after regionals she could barely walk. And now she hasn’t been able to compete at all at the collegiate level due to the same recurring injury, hope that team state title was worth her career.
@@nohands6865 stop acting like this one run destroyed her career. she ran in college. I mean just a few months after this happened she was the Virginia state champion in the 3200! the hip tendinitis was simply a symptom of the more insidious issue of femoral stress fractures that really began to plague her post high school. and thats a slow burn injury that develops over time from training and form and diet and genetic issues. it was going to happen whether she ran in this race or not. it wasnt CAUSED by this race. in the end she got a state title, got a full ride at her dream school where she has excelled academically and now is looking at a great career in journalism. Why go out of your way to act as if her life is a failure?
@@IRex-wm9pd I never said her life was a failure, I simply stated that after this race she was never able to have a full healthy season. She missed out on footlocker her senior year due to it, and while she still won states in the 3200 she was still running through injuries which culminated in her early retirement from competitive running. Libby is a great girl and I have no doubt in my mind she will excel in whatever field she decides to pursue but it simply bothered me that her parents and her coach saw that she was seriously injured and decided to let her run anyways at regionals and state.
P.S. E.C. Glass would have still won states that year without her
same thing happened to me. day 1 backstage at nationals i felt immense pain in my back. it had hurt months before, but i just ignored it. both days i was carried off stage after competing. i found out later that i chipped my vertebrae, causing it to go into my spine. and i also broke my back!
This is so powerful! As a runner this really made me tear up
Nice work.
Not saying this isn't a REALLY scary injury but I was so relieved it wasn't a tumor or something..This is a really emotional video to watch though... Glad she has recovered and is able to continue doing what she loves so much and is amazing at! And the whole team is wonderful too!
When she said “no you can catch her” omg I started crying idk even know why 😱
I got chills
The editing is good, got me. It's also relatable since I ran myself to the ground in school. Tried to hold off the injuries for the team as well but without much luck, got fourth as well and sustained injuries bad enough I was out for about two years. Took me another four years to get back to zero because my case was my body breaking down due to ED. I hope girls be careful with their body image and diet.
Worth watching
Good job Libby your an amazing girl for not giving up💞💗💖😘😘💙😘💗💖💖💖💞💖
This is such an amazing story, I’m just surprised that the 3rd place finisher had a time in the 18’s, Illinois state champ was in the low 15’s
18 minutes holy crap that’s amazing seriously that whole team.
So I’m a cross country runner and I’ve watched this so many times but for some reason I cried this time 😂😭
This exact situation, injury, and everything happened to me this season and I’m a senior lol
Im sitting in my class right now and i just started crying like a baby. I don't know any of these girls but im so incredibly proud of there determination!
That brought back horrible memories of me running cross country. I would throw up after every single race.
This just made me go for a run
Awhh❤️
I run Cross Country and I have had hip injuries similar to this and I’ve ran every race, The haters that do not run at all need to put theirselves in our shoes. When your one of the best runners on a HIGHSCHOOL Cross Country team you dedicate 100% of yourself to it! Your team counts on you to help win it! Yeah it risked her health! But I think it’s an inspiring story!! She is very dedicated and should be awarded for the hard work and all of the toughness at practice to achieve this! Now a message to haters YOU PUT YOURSELF IN HER SHOES! LIKE I BET U SIT AROUND ALL DAY WATCHING VIDEOS AND JUDGING THEM BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT AS GOOD!
Hogwarts Tutor Yed that what I am implying! When you put your all into cross country they expect even more then that! I basically dedicate my whole life to it, which she’s a really tough girl in the video so I think that she should be rewarded!
Hogwarts Tutor Btw Im an all time champ for my school so I know what it takes.
Don’t let all the ignorant comments coming from a vocal minority distract you from the fact that this girl is a badass who was willing to sacrifice her running career for the people she cares about. It’s called team spirit, and if you don’t get it, that’s fine. You have to experience it first
I understand that feeling. But honestly you need a big injury like this to teach you that you need to catch these things early. I’d always run through injuries until I broke my knee from running. Since then I’ve always caught injuries early and addressed them before they became too bad.
great job!!! All the people criticizing everyone involved need to stop!! She went to the doctor and the doctor said she could continue. Also tendinitis is not life threatening. I think that if it was life threatening or long term she would have stopped. Also the family including the parents are full of athletes so they know what they are doing!! Libby keep doing what you are doing and don't listen to the doubters and haters.
Did anyone notice that at 6:49 a girl from another team helped her? Images like this warms my heart. Even if they’re aren’t on your team, in the end you treat them like they are.
omg i love dis
You Rock Libby! All the best in your studies in Virginia!
Bro I was crying:(
I have tendonitis right now in the beginning i didn't think I would come back but now I think in the end it will be alright
I have tendonities in both of my feet
They r still swollen and it has been 4 weeks and I am playing netball for my town and represeting them in another state in four months- wish me luck
glorious
Credits to her for finishing the race it’s not easy especially running one of the hardest sports too
every sports can be just as difficult as another. they just have different skill sets. it all depends on the competitiveness.
in short, not there's no ranking in sports difficulty.
I got tendinitis is my wrist and I couldn’t apply pressure to it for weeks and it hurts so bad.
Yes Libby! *i went to school with her*
The green and yellow team the Vikings was my high school, loudoun valley high school purcellville Virginia
I'm from Scotland so not familiar with the set up... is the race 5k?
Damn, I’m a 7th grader with a 5:41 mile and 21:08 5k, and I thought I was good, then a senior girl with a 19:15 got 16th place, I was amazed. They’re so fast!
you're still really good lol, I see senior girls with around 17 minute 5k's but 19:15 isn't bad either.
Damn I’m just getting back from a torn ligament in my hip and it sucked. im going into 8th grade and my last cross country season was amazing, I was running in the 11’s for 2 miles so this was supposed to be a great season but idk how it’s gonna end up. It’s almost halfway through the season and I’m clear to run so wish me luck.
04:52 Respect to Mom
LETS GOOOO!!!!
How many miles were the race?
this girl be my new role model
How many km/miles did they run in the state race?
that’s not tendinitis that sounds like hip labrum tear without an MRI it’s impossible to tell x-rays can’t see that so she probably has a more serious issue that won’t heal with resting and taking a break
Oof this one really got me.
Damn they beat Loudon Valley
Lindinha....
watching this I felt the adrenaline bc i was in xc 😂
2:05 Did they say Lynchburg? Because we literally are barely on the map. Shook.
Runners gon' run 🏃♀️
My school was there!
i have had good success with my soft tissue work for athlete's like this.
Did anyone else notice on Canada one of the men had Blastoff shaved into his head?
So running with this tendinitis doesn’t have future negative effects? Just a temporary thing?
as an athlete I know how it feels when you finish something you wanted, she wanted it so bad I mean it was her decision, what if she didn’t run maybe she’d feel like she let her team down or the goal she set. You have to see it from a different view !!!
Okay. Everyone hating.
As a swimmer, footballer ( soccer if ur American) and a runner and rugby player. If I am injured. I don’t let ppl know. Or when they do I run with it anyway. As a athlete, u don’t LET ppl keep u from the sport u love.
Rachel May x As a long distance runner same...
Those are some nice shoes.
Did she run a 5k at their state meet because at our state's meet we run 2 miles
Whew, thought that was gonna have a much darker finish. When I read she made the ultimate sacrifice I said noooo, it’s only cross-country Libby!!
I’m not crying, someone’s cutting the biggest fucking onion ever in front of me
Some peoples bodies get injured badly. Other people don't. It's just life. But if you get bad injuries, you should rest, not run and race through them. Ask Steve Cram or Steve Ovett.
I can run a very hard cross country track with huge up hills in 21:15 what would I get on track?
NielDoesStuff Probably about 1 minute faster but it really depends on how hard the cross country course is.
samthebologna thanks
I actually run slower on track than at a course
My knees hurt when i run. My time on the 10k sucks now. Im gettibg so slow. My pain just doesn't go away. It doesn't let me walk nor run. Its just a big pain. I had Xrays done, physical therapy I been having rest days. I eat healthy. I just dont know. I've been struggling so much. Like working out, running is everything to me. I don't know what to do. I'm losing patience. I hate being on the sideline.
If she wanted to run, let her run. I had a left leg injury but placed in all my of races in final.
The Real Law Reh she ran on stress fractures, it was so bad that she couldn’t walk after the race. She hasn’t been able to stay healthy in college due to this recurring injury.
I'm just gonna say +1 to all the folks who remarked on how this is the way runners (and athletes in general) are. But runners are kind of an unusual breed. If you aren't a runner, it can be hard to understand how much you JUST.HAVE.TO.RUN. and how close your bonds are to the people you train with.
i have tendinitis in my ankle and knee and it’s awful
Omg I 😥😢💔😁💖💖💗💗💙💚
a jogging video make me cry
Well that’s a first
So I thought she would die at the end. What the hell does "ultimate team sacrifice" even mean anymore? Tendonitis? Hardly.
Ye I thought that she broke her hip and had to be in a wheel chair for the rest of her life. Or something like that
No she gave up nationals in order to run state for her team
@@madelynbasinet946 that isn't the "ultimate team sacrifice"
@@tomhotchkiss7444 Actually she put the teams needs over her own personal glory. The team wouldn't have won state without her, even though she wasn't able to run her best race. If she rested, she would have been able to place very high at nationals. Because of racing on the injury, she aggravated it to the point that her season was likely over
@@willgraybill3565 it still isn't the "ultimate sacrifice"
She shouldn't have been allowed to race. There is no reason to risk a permanent injury for the rest of this kids life.
EnlightenedSavage chances of that were slim. permanent injury from tendonitis?
