The interface, the layout, the content and even the company goal is severely misguided.
Let's go run up to the race finisher and stick a video camera in their face. Then let's take the results, chop them up, re-render them with errors and call them our own.
Okay, I was watching this video of this interview of Allura markow, she's going to Oregon next year & r.n. she has one of the top 1600m times in the U.S. In this video at about the 1:50 min mark, the reporter asks her such a weird question, "put a bow on your high school career." Like, what does that even mean? Plus, it's a super awkward question b/c she wear a big bow in her hair, it's kind of like he's making fun or her? or something. She handles it like a champ though, such an awkward moment, lol. The video's called "Allura Markow - Reflects on HS XC career" if you want to agree with me.

What? It's a super common saying. Do you live under a rock?
Okay, I think we're going to have to agree to disagree; I know what the phrase means, but *in the context of his question* it makes no sense - watch the interview. aka, he says to her "put a bow on your high school career." like, didn't she just do that with this race? LOL.
you have to watch the interview, it's an awkward moment and you can tell that she finds it an odd question - her countenance sinks when he asks her the question b/c she is wearing a big bow in her hair.
Edit: I mean, "Put a bow on your high school career." That's not even a question...

There was a guy, Perry, who worked for NY milesplit a very odd man. Many of his interviews went on and on. Many times his questions were longer than the answer and in some cases he would ask and then answer the question for the athlete. Sometime this past year NY Milesplit was smart enough to distance themselves from him.

it's high school sports. there's not a lot of money, so sometimes you get what pay for, or perhaps more accurately "dont pay for"
of course you are going to get awkward interviews from high school kids. it's tough to be polished at a young age. I get the same horribly dumb questions from newspaper reporters all the time. It is really difficult to answer some of these questions in a way that comes off as palatable to the masses. This is why "coach speak" exists. 16 year olds haven't had the experience to master those "coach speak" type answers.
overall, im really happy with milesplit. if it wasn't them putting in the work for our sport, who else would do it?

My team won a meet and got interviewed by him after and can confirm. Guy is a top tier weirdo who doesn't let people talk. Either that is his personality or he doesn't know how to interact with high schoolers

There is a Dyestat interviewer that’s kind of like that

I only accept interviews with LetsRun because I'm one of the best track and field fans in the world. And I love the non-track talk stuff too. I'm a big believe in the first ammendment and in today's world, the algorithms and fox news and msnbcs of the world only give you the news you want to see. It's good to be challenged by the other side.
Eric Boal can be a bit cringy but hes an absolute font of knowledge in a field that so few people care about. Sometimes that can come off as impressive, sometimes it can come off as wonky and sometimes it can come off as creepy depending on your perspective. I think his interviews in person after a race are better than his zoom interviews like this one because he just talks about the race and their season and not their instagram account or other things he just doesnt need to get into.
Cory Mull on the other hand should let others do the interviewing and stick to content making and weekly roundup video chats at Milesplit. He has no bedside manner to say the least. I remember that infamous video of him interviewing poor Caroline Wells after she had won a race and had very recently lost her grandfather and he insisted on pressing her about how her grandfathers death affected her which resulted in an interview that consisted of this poor child crying unconsolably for a good minute straight while he did NOTHING but hold a mic in her face waiting while the other girls that placed stood there awkwardly! WTF!!! Still mad about it to this day and that was a couple years ago.

at least let them wipe their sweat or spit off their faces!
