Cross country and distance track athletes are some of the toughest people in the whole world.

Galen can watch this while stroking his olympic silver medal

which pixel was he?

It definitely does! Cross Country is a Mental and physical sport. Takes great deal of determination to succeed in cross country! I ran it for 2 years and it changed my life in many ways! GO XC!

Ooo I love to watch all the little pixel zoom across the screen

@bathtownship He went to Wisconsin and was a four time all american in cross country. His Freshman year was his best with a 9th place finish at the NCAA D1 National Championship. He didn't get any better because of his struggles with some injuries.

I run that course all the time during the weekends, I've been running on his steps. I breath where he once did. This is awesome.

Galen has gotten second at the national level in high school too

galen rupp Olympic bronze medalist. rock on galen

0:19 lol "no one can out out sprint Kiptoo at the end"

"and as i was coming up on shadrick we crossed the street and he gave me a look back...i looked him in the eye and i knew i could take him. i knew i could go after it" words of a fucking badass runner. all guts.

"it's a huuuuge move!" i love it

awesome video. Josh mcdougal sure has improved since then ;)

THIS WAS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! GO WITHROW!!!! WOO!

was galen rupp the "rich kid with the attitude?" lol

i went to this back in 03, i live like 10 minutes from balboa park

i really like how he puts his arms around the referee immediately after he crosses the line

Both Kaltenbachs and Deak all from the same high school and all in this meet. INSANE

If it weren't for Galen Rupp, we would still think running's not for white Western guys

holy ass gunner matt fucking blasted that last 300

Make you wonder if all videos from 2003 were really this blurring or our eyes got used to 1080p as being the norm....lol

matt withrow got some balls i wish i had this ability

14:55 first place is absolutely kenyan style

omg this guys r just unbelievable

For ur reference: 1. Withrow=Top ten in NCAA XC sophomore yr, 13:25 5K before age 20, 2. Galen Rupp-2time Olympian, silver medalist, US's top distance runner today 3. Shadrak Kiptoo-Top-level runner @ NCAA level for UNM/Oregon contributing to team championship & a couple top ten finishes 4. Josh McDougal-somewhere in 13:20 range for 5k, NCAA champ 4 yrs later outkicking Rupp 5. Ben True-6th in world recently, 4th at US Trials last wk 6. Ryan Deak-Amounted to nothing 7. Eagon-Contributor to UW...

mcdougel ended up beating rupp in college at nationals a couple of years ago

that man has balls.

He's the head cross country coach at Liberty College.

Galen Rupp shadrack and Josh Mcdougal disliked this vid

@AjaPuppy Search 2000 Footlocker national championships. It's on here somewhere

Oh I didn't realize that you were talking about specific people at the beginning with the ballerness comment, obviously galen the one with the tent and kiptoo being the kenyan.

Withrow=major baller

team title, decent college runner 8. Christian Wagner-not very good college runner from Oregon 9. Victor Gras-Went to Michigan, disappointment 10. Garrett Heath-consistently 1 of US's top milers for last few years, qualified for '10 world championships 11. Mo Trafeh-Highly successful on US running circuit 12. Brad Hardraker-Not sure 13. Andy Bumbalough-Finished 4th at US Olympic trials '12, 5th last week, 14. Scott McPherson-Had a few good times at Arkansas 15. Evan Garber-Not sure

Matt's kick.. *sniff* *sniff*

@barchetta575m Actually not only is it a physical and mental sport but also its one of the most challenging sport out there. Most people don't realize it but cross country is the strongest sport out there. All people focus on in high school is football or something else, cross country is a beautiful sport that hardly gets notice, don't you think? (if you really think about it, our brain is the most powerful muscle in our body)

once... now Rupp kills. Breaking Pre's records. Withdrow got like 50th at the NCAA championship... Rupp got first and Chalenga for 2nd...

Rupp is a beast...

insane.

what's it called when even the kenyan and the rich guy with the altitude tent can't touch you?

Ben True went pro aswell

They were already going fast. I wonder how much speed he put on to pass Kiptoo and Rupp that decisively.

what about Jordan Hasay at this past years nationals?

galen dont have to dislike he can tell him who got the american record

Ben True has also been successful.

@AjaPuppy search ritzenhein footlocker on youtube and it will come up. ritz straight up dominates that shit

i went to school with Matt

Is this matt vasgersian?

thats the point in the race when just real guts comes out. you cant train the drive to win. thats true talent. good for him he deserves that win. cheap shot at the end bu rupp. that was bogus.

matt vasgersian doing play by play?

Matt Withrow .. "I wonder if he paid too high of a price for that big move at 2 miles"

How far was this race?

how long r they running? is this a two mile?

and helped US get silver team medal, first since the 1980s

Where, exactly, is McDougal these days?

Except Josh McDougal beat Galen Rupp in an all-out sprint at the NCAA Championship

same camera charlie chaplin used

That means your doing it right than lol. and yeeeeeeees i made an assumption based on the comment you left.

A few big names in this one.

Excessive long distance running is bad for the joints involved ;)

@energizerbunni8o8 3.1 Miles/ 5 Kilometers.

You have no idea how hard these kids had just pushed themselves. to the point of collapsing. And your saying hes raping the ref. He's just trying stay standing

Ballerness

*-1080P*

@energizerbunni8o8 5000 meters

"Yahoos"? What the fuck...

The referee at the finish line needs to move his ass out the way. Nothing like being mauled by a bunch of officials when your exhausted.

Well, galen is faster now

rupp is sick nobody can touch him

@Th4tGuy boo!!!

5k?

False. Ben True was 6th (first non African) at World XC yesterday.

oregon may be america's running state, but the Midwest has always consistently produced the strongest runners with the most heart. Midwest pwns noobs

withrowned

@AwesomeRants Either you are a troll or you don't know anything about race strategy

Galen Rupp was already on testosterone... sad

yea quote a gay movie cool

matt withrow is a homosexual did u listen to him talk wow gay

Wow you call that a hill? American XC is so soft.
