Those were the golden years of the second wave of American runners. Galen Rupp was a mega star that ignited it, Jordan Hasay was a phenom and Germans Fernandez looked to be the best natural talent USA has ever produced. I was a freshman in college enjoying every minute.
Galen wasn’t having it on this day. He’s had quite a career. NCAA champ, 2nd in the Olympic 10,000, 3rd in the Olympic marathon. He’s most likely set for life, but I see a coaching gig if he wants one.
Awesome. I ran in the 1971 state meet in Illinois that had a false start . Most people just kept going and it took probably a quarter of a mile to get the field to stop and go back. Notable entry in that race? Future multiple state and NCAA champion, American record holder and Olympian Craig Virgin. He ran 2nd that day as a Sophomore, but later held the state cross country record for 47 years. Tremendous career on the track and on the grass.
@@YesSirYesSir3bagsFULL I think the woman announcer was Carrie Tollefson. Larry Rawson is the veteran commentator and I'm pretty sure the other guy is Lewis Johnson.
@@JhinderliterAlberto Salazar gave Galen Rupp testosterone when he was 16 What was alleged Steve Magness, an assistant coach at the Nike Oregon Project, told Panorama and ProPublica that he was in Salazar’s office when the reports showing athletes’ blood levels were put on his desk. “Under one of Galen’s it had ‘currently on testosterone and prednisone medication’ and when I saw that I kind of jumped backwards,” Magness said. “Testosterone is obviously banned and everyone knew that. It was all the way back in high school - and that was incredibly shocking. I actually took a picture of it.” Hmmm could be?

@@JhinderliterI would have done a little since I didn't reach puberty till 17 ha! My father ran a 4.17 mile in 1954 so I was doing well till tendonitis. I was told no pain no gain so I went through severe pain thinking it was good. My high school records still stand but wow would I have been better with a little help. Heck maybe would of not sure

I always wondered what happened to German Fernandez. He looked like he was going to burst on the international scene and then he just fell apart.
@@bigdmarinemost u.s. distance runner do....
@@brucewayne-bp2qw , exactly. I am at a loss to explain why that is.
@bigdmarine I wonder too. Maybe the distractions of society? Although distractions are not exclusive to the U.S. I just don't know
@@brucewayne-bp2qw after he won the NCAA 1500 I just knew he was the next rising star and he just fizzled out after that.

Wait why? Did something happen during or before the race?
Agreed!
Ain’t no way that he’s set for life, distance running doesn’t pay shit
@@Celeritate7 He is talking about the distance running doping business...
@@RK-um9tu Most likely he and Mo were. Everybody close to the top is if you want to compete.
"Less than 400m to go" at 26:35 😂😂😂
american distance running announcers never understand what their watching
Precious video

We need more marching bands at Cross Country Nats.
Baby faced Matt Centrowitz!
Nah. The pushing happened because Galen moved to the inside of a turn when Chelonga was wide and then cut across Galen. He did it twice.
Who are the announcers?
The woman is Kara Goucher, no clue on the others
@@andrewmitchell5807 Carrie Tollefson
Dwight Stones, Howard Johnson and the woman is NOT Kara Goucher. They are NBC Track & Field commentators
@@andrewmitchell5807 carrie tollefson

So basically don’t wear a big chain around your neck in a cross country race against Galen Rupp
False start in cross country are you kidding
👍🦵
Hmmm 🤔 salazar salad bar juiced up a tad?
Salazar wasn’t even his coach yet😂
