Is an Oregon female xc athlete kneeling purposely during the national anthem on the starting line in this video? I believe it's at ~5:30.
Thoughts?
Editor's Note: The national anthem is at the 5:14 mark.

Maybe she was tying her shoes or something
Yes, she's kneeling.
Looks like it. Props to whoever it was. Another good vlog. Have to wonder though if the Ducks would have done better if not so nice and a bit more hungery.
She was probably peeing. If you’ve ever coached women this is normal.
What exactly is she protesting? Likely, she doesn't even know. It's the Che Guevara t-shirt of social movements...just "cool" and avante garden to do. Perhaps this upper middle class white girl that doesn't even pay her cell phone bill was trying to highlight Starbucks being out of pumpkin spice lattes that morning? Maybe the recent price increase on ugg boots?
Yeah, probably that . It couldn’t possibly be that we have a double standard justice system in this country . That’s just crazy talk.
I don't see anyone kneeling at 5:30... where is this?

At 5:16.
That poor, poor girl. She's just so brave!

Peeing during the national anthem? That's worse than kneeling, which in my patriotic opinion is very disrespectful. There I said it. Don't pee during the national anthem. Or kneel. Choose another form of protest.
Was it runner 503 who was kneeling? If so, she was likely tinkling. It happens.
Anyway, the star of that clip is clearly the Duck walk at 8:12.
503 was Rainsberger . I doubt she would be peeing during the national anthem.
Girl kneeling was number 493. Carmela Cardama Baez. She was 34th.

and she's not even american?? she's spanish right?
I know this country has a tradition of playing the national anthem at sporting events, but I’ve always been a little perturbed that it’s played right before a race during key warm up time. There’s already enough standing around for pomp and circumstance at big races. And then you have to stand at attention for a couples minutes when you normally would be getting in your last warm up drills before the race starts in often cold conditions.
Pro tip: Have the National Anthem like 15 minutes before the start to accommodate the runners and then do all the introductions and other crap. You’re welcome.
Wife says girls don't pee like that. Her knees are too close together and would pee on herself.

Yeah WTF? Go protest your own country. If you don't like the country that gave you a free education, GTFO.
Why were they playing the national anthem? What does that particular song have to do with a running competition?
