Flotrack’s Coverage of Penn Relays is PHENOMENAL

I think it's really bad. You can only see the leader. If the leader of a relay has a 10m lead, you don't even get to see the other teams handing off. You don't need to be zoomed in on the leader the whole time, get more wide views so you can see the entire field.

I actually noticed just the opposite. I’ve found they tend to “pan out” quite a bit to show the other competitors.

Flotrack had a Run Junkie reunion earlier this week, as Ryan Fenton and Alex Lohr were both present on Thursday, providing race commentary on the Thursday distance night action at least (or what is when I noticed them). Lohr had always been a good commentator.

I agree! However, your NC State prediction never had any leverage! As soon as they sat Nevada Moreno and put Shaw in, it was over for NC state!!!!! Talk about an awful coaching decision!!!!! This is why Arkansas and BYU are way better programs then Nc State. Arkansas puts their best runner 3rd and NC State sits their second fastest 1500 runner. That is called being out coached!!!

Both teams ran great, basically 8 prs and both obliterated the old mark. Arkansas had better team on paper, and all 4 ladies we're already battle tested under pressure.

NC State team was hard to choose:

Bush #2 performer, but a recent off outing

Shaw inconsistent, but ran great indoor at ACC n NCAA.

Vess inconsistent, but recent 4:17pr.

Moreno, recovering talent, inconsistent, but recent 4:15.

Coach went with loyalty to the veterans. I thought for sure someone would run above 4:20, but they all ran at pr level. Can't say for sure Moreno would have beat 4:15/17.

Also on Ark, Gear equal to Gregory at 1500, she's been in the mix for a natty chmp at mile/15000 past few years.

On, Oregon and NBP all showed how hard it is to PR in the same relay, but all 8 did it here. That's how to beat old record by 10sec. Congrats to Ark, was a great race that lived up to hype.

Since Mareno also scratched the open 1500 perhaps she was not right this week. I would not just assume they decided to not run her.

Flotrack doesn't individually save the videos or put timestamps. You have to click through a 12 hour day to find the event you want to see.

They put adds during the races so the race video gets small and the full screen is the ad. We already are paying for a membership, why do they need ads on top of it? Total BS.

Post the link for the 4th section of high school 4x4 please.

since (no offense) that race likely has little value to them, why don't you ask them nicely to post it on YT?

Agreed. Great coverage! I've watched Texas men 4x1500 more than a few times. It was amazing to see the 2nd leg fall to the track and Texas still won.

4 x mile!!!

just here to say i wish everyone shot in 4k

Had to use TuohyFan2 ‘cause it wouldn’t let me reply to my own original post.

Here’s a great example of just how good they do covering track. The Women’s Championship of America College Women’s 4x1500m relay:
