๐ฃ๏ธ โI thought โIf I stop, the guys were running so fastโฆ the gap would be more.โ So I said โLet me keep running barefoot.โ I did, and Iโm so happy.
Both my legs got spiked, including my foot.โ
One shoe wonโt stop 2024 NCAA XC runner-up Habtom Samuel of @UNMLoboXCTF. If you think cross countryโs not a contact sport, youโre wrong ๐ค

How are you going to first challenge a 100m, but then change it to give you a handicap to a 50m?! Stick with what you said with your whole chest! ๐ช๐
๐บ๐ธHere's what Rai Benjamin (@_Kingben_) had to say after holding off Letsile Tebogo (43.04 split) on the anchor leg in the men's 4x400m final:
"When Bryce got the stick and brought it around, I saw Letsile on the anchor leg and I was like, โDang, this oneโs gonna be tough.โ I had to be smart. I couldn't get out too hot and I couldnโt get out too slow, because the kid just ran 19.4 and you donโt play around with people like that. So I knew I had to draw him out a little bit through 200m and just let him sit on me a little bit. I knew it was gonna be a fight coming home, so it was probably my most calculated anchor leg that Iโve ever run.โ

It is time to blow up the system. This continues to be completely unacceptable. It is clear that EVERYONE at @usatf is more concerned with relationships than winning. No athlete should step on the track and run another relay until this program is changed from top to bottom.
