Allie Ostrander & Boise State Dominate 2015 Roy Griak Invitational 

It's amazing - and disappointing - that the commentary team didn't pick up on that!

there was a barefoot olympic runner Zola Budd - who raced against Paula Radcliffe - from South Africa in the cross country years ago - by the way paula radcliffe -in her 40's is still winning races!

On soft golf course not that big of a deal, on a Turkish goat ranch, that is another story.

I ran in college in the late 1970's with Africans that ran barefoot. The bottoms of their feet were thick with callouses. The soles of each foot was like a thick piece of rubber and they couldn't even feel the asphalt on a hot summer day. In fact, wearing shoes seemed to irritate their feet. They were most comfortable sans shoes.

@@relcychoho what about Zola Budd?

DAM! Thanks for the info.

She's gonna get osteoporosis cause she is so skinny. She probably has very little estrogen.

@@DavidDavid-fp6gv she has a condition that causes her body not to create the correct amount of hormones which causes lack of body mass and other problems, her website says she's getrting treatment for it, and her more recent pictures show a more healthy body mass.

@@BarfusWOW thats good, I wish her the best and i guessed right

Why would you think quality when you see who did this? I never expect this group to do anything well.

Zola Budd was also South African

Violist26 who says you can't?

I would have been fast like these girls long by now but my high school gym coaches thought otherwise. They decided I was not likely to run a marathon and thus devastated my confidence as a runner for 6 years. I was a young teen back then with no support group or friends to get encouragement from so when these coaches decided I was not going to run a marathon even though I was running 15 miles a week and had done a 6:20 mile, there was nothing positive to motivate me to prove them wrong until I entered college. Now, those coaches are so wrong and I am working towards my first 13.1 and will be running a 26.2 in the next 2 years or less!

Violist26 yes you go!!

Thanks :)

you go girl, you can do it! Yeah, there's a lot of bad coaches/PE teachers out there...don't let the haters influence you.

She may have an injury or it could just be collapsing from overheating/exhaustion. You see this from time to time at the finish line of these races although not usually to that severe a degree. The race officials and people are really trying to help her, but if they touch her in any way then she is disqualified from the race. At these big events like this you will literally see a half dozen people or more standing about 10 yards past the finish line whose sole job is to escort exhausted runners out of the way of other finishing runners to avoid collisions and pile-ups. But if they have finished the race, then you can literally pick them up and carry them away with risking disqualification. However, if a runner is in real distress (like losing consciousness) then a call to an on-site doctor is always made.

Cross country runners in South Africa don't usually wear shoes when they run, and she's from there

C B Ozymandias stop spoiling 😡

That was a 5k race

That's Brenna Peloquin, she won the Griak this year.

You mean Annie Bothma? Peloquin was not on camera at all in this video

Chris Hill yes she is, that's her at 23:08, but you're probably right, boredrunner probably meant Bothma.

Keep running

Trust me. You’ll wish you kept it up if you stop now.

@@sagespills3159 well I wish you said that earlier 😂 I did stop running, wish I never stopped

@@lpsgirlygirl7501keep running

Idk but it looks fun!

Run 4 Gold I think it’s college but it might be both...?
