The video neglects to mention the #1 (and quite frankly, the only) problem, AGE! Anyone from anywhere should be able to compete as long as it's on equal terms. A 26-30 year old has a huge advantage over 18-24 year olds. Wrestling & Boxing have weight classes. America's running program is founded on age groups for a reason, but that stops at 18 even though running development is on a bell curve to the early 30's before it begins to decline. College should have an age cap of about 26. If you're 27+, then turn pro or put that education to work and start paying taxes. IMO

Gotta love LACCTiC

I think Habtom has to be favorite specifically over Solomon kipchoge. Habtom fell at regionals in the first 200m and spent the whole race clawing back to the front.

Glad to see my Northeast race video helped you make this! Thanks for the mention in the description and excellent recap.

If NC State has Stephens back, EVERYTHING changes.

. . .and why isn't the footage the greatest? NCAA Productions took this under their domain and had so many technical difficulties. In this modern day, no form of a gimbal for the cameras. Long sections of course not covered. Meanwhile I saw some beautiful coverage of High School qualifying races on the same day. Maybe they took all the good crews.

If you can't identify who you are, I'm unsubscribing to this channel. Anonymous commentary is strange.

Im rooting for byu. Hopefully they win the team title. I like the teams that are not too dependent of african transfers. The easy way out for all the school programs are just to transfer african runners.

yawn, doping kenyans and 28 year olds. NCAA XC is dead.

I have graham blanks for the winner

when is it and how to watch

Is this hurting the popularity of the sport? Do you think OSU alum and students are coming out to cheer for their teams, or could they care less and this is one of the reasons? It's even worse in college soccer, and I believe it's a turn off for the common fan.

Realistically there are only 10-12 American distance running prospects per college graduating class that will be competitive on the world stage post college. That may be a generous estimate, depending on what you call competitive. They will be fine.

I say rising tides raise all ships. The NCAA has been an international competition for a long time and if the best from the world come to the NCAA, it will raise the standard for American athletes as well.

For one thing g this fall was pretty dry and warm at least in the northeast and mid Atlantic, so many courses were fast

Is this video AI generated?

Blanks will repeat.

If NC State has Leah Stephens back, EVERYTHING changes.

go cougs

I don't know why we don't have more ash running tracks (or "cinder" if you're American). These are the types of running tracks everyone was using over a hundred years ago. Running gives you injuries and ash is much softer. I know when it comes to racing everyone wants to see the fast times and the more modern surfaces of track are faster, but for training softer surfaces just make more sense. As for running 6 or 7 days per week, that will give you the quantity but not the quality. You can only get about 2 or 3 quality training sessions in per week, the rest is just extra miles. Cyclists draw more of a distinction between quality and quantity, it's very normal for cyclists to train 3 days per week but they will be mega training sessions.

Freshman? from Washington St?

Thank you for this content we need more NCAA xc coverage across RUclips!

This is 100%,,,💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

what website to check rankings

Who is behind this anonymous "RunEffects" channel? List your name somewhere.

Kenya will sweep that’s for sure. only race they won’t win is the women’s team title

Nico Young could have broken an hour in the half his senior year at NAU…

well well well

A 27 year old freshman from East Africa who has no place in this field.

Love these keep them coming 😮

why was the quality so bad this year?

Great video !

pro Kenyan runners ruin the sport for many

Thanks for that ! I love the sport and !

An NCCA championship attracts the interest of thousands of Americans willing to pay out of state tuition ~$35-50k/yr. Bringing over a few foreigners on scholarship makes financial sense for the administrators.

I have zero issues with fast foreign nationals coming into the NCAA system. The problem is the age of athletes coming in. I think there needs to be a hard cap of 24 year old. That assuming graduating at 18, one gray shirt year and a medical hardship year as well. Anything beyond that is just silly.

Go Katelyn.😊

She's literally a one in a half billion elite athlete.

My argument is that it’s the age of the runners that is the problem not what country they are from

Is this your real voice or is it an Ai? I think it's an AI but can never be sure

NIL has pretty much made all college athletes professionals. Age restrictions? How about the kid(s) who went into the military before going to college? BYU has long had older athletes competing due to those who went on their Mormon Mission at 18 and then went on to college. Take a look at the last few years of the NCAA xc championships. Who's winning? Legitimate ages for their class, that's who and lots of them are Americans.

NCAA top finishers this year: 1. Parker Wolfe from North Carolina State. 2. the guy from New Mexico State (who won in 2023) and 3. Graham Blanks from Harvard who won in 2022.

SUGGESTION: IF you are going to allow 28 year old Africans to compete in NCAA events then an adjustment should be made. For example, they can compete in collegiate events but when it comes to the NCAA championships only AMERICAN kids can be awarded ALL-AMERICAN honors. This should not go to any athlete from another nation. PERIOD. ALL-AMERICAN means just that ALL AMERICAN. For example, If a 19 year old sophomore attending Penn State or any other US college finishes 68th in the NCAA cross country championship but there were 42 foreign athletes in front of him he should be named ALL-AMERICAN.

speed can likely hit low 11s in the 100 right now, 10s if he trains imo

This is the type of immigration I can get behind. Let's bring highly talented athletes from poor countries and give them amazing opportunities.

There needs to be an age limit. And limit of foreign born atheletes per team. NCAA does not need to be a professional league.

It's not their age that's the problem, it's their professional status that's the problem.

Show speed shows promise but the life of an athlete is tough

Chebet should have been in the list !

I can see why Africans are up in arms, by any metric Beatrice Chebet is more deserving than some other finalists because her accomplishments span two events. Not sure what more she would have to have done to get on the shortlist, break the 5000m WR as well? Plus, she's not been the recipient of this award before whereas SML and Nafi Thiam have won in previous years. This is probably why Africans are less upset that Kipyegon was left off the list as she's also been honoured in a previous year. There's an argument to be had that if the criteria for being considered as a finalist is a WR then they need to expand the number of finalists to the number of people who broke WR this year.
