The Offficial 2024 NCAA D1 XC Championship Thread

Let’s just pretend everything was perfect for the viewers. No apologies from the announcers or admissions of technical issues. Who are these bozos?

Is the sound messed up for active else? What is going on espn

*anyone

They take joke classes for athletes you could have passed as a middle schooler. For football and basketball, its even worse.

It's likely the commentators didn't even know things were going bad.
So the technical director either had the option of telling them and having them speak about it(which no one would have seen) or let them keep going, go to commercial but also record locally so they have a final version for recast and web that will be good quality with good commentating.

The issue was across multiple cameras and all audio so it was something with the signal getting out from Madison.

My guess is it is more like a language barrier. She seems to be adored by her team.

All the credit in the world to her coaching, but my lord, Taylor looks like she came straight from the club.

30 women broke 20 minutes!..20 minutes used to win

Didn't they just say that she won an award for best student/athlete? It is working somehow.

The four blondes who forced their way into her interview so they could be on TV?

BYU women's coach is drippy as hell.

Whose man is this?! Bro you can't even be for real right now.

What has happened to The Providence men though?

I tried posting pics. Anyhow, everyone is is piling on. What a disaster. Anyone remember the Leroy Neiman 1972 Olympic track (etc) artwork? All you have to do is replay this & grab some comparable stuff. ESPN? Maybe just call it "art."

not really, they hung out in the middle and ran as a pack for most of the race. looks like Maggi Congdon blew up, though to be fair she's a miler, was probably stepping up for Churchhill who was injured.

the biggest surprise was Karrie Baloga, she's normally up there with Strearns and Upshaw, just not her day I guess.

Time for the Dave Smith Kenyan team. NCAA XC is a joke.
