Bout fell asleep listening to the announcers during the NCAA Indoor 5k, which was a great race! Do these announcers just not care? At least TRY to sound excited! Jesus.
Idk who announced Wottle’s 800m Gold, but we need more energy like that!

It's the 5K. Not much excitement until the last lap.
Drowning in oxygen? 😭
You could fill a bingo card with all the 💩 they say every time. No creativity or passion.
They should hire guest announcers such as Craig Virgin, Jim Ryun, or Marty Liquori. I am not suggesting they do it for an entire meet but they could do it for an event or two.
What happened with RG 3? I thought he was very entertaining.
nah you're right, I think at one point an annoucer said the same thing 4 different ways, and I was like we get it, this dudes fast.
Once I get to the scene

Liquori used to do commentary. He was mediocre at best. The other two have zero experience doing this. I don't know what makes you think they would be good. Lara Overton is very knowledgeable and doesn't sink to insincere excitability to cover up any shortcomings. She's a helluva lot better than Kara Goucher.
Flotrack has been hiring a guy recently that's been pretty good. I think he did some of the UNM home meets last year and ACCs this year.

have u heard the english(?) guys who announce the big track events like diamond league etc? cmon brah.
not as good as Galen on that NYC (?) broadcast. Galen the Goat. Give him the NCAA announcing job. Rupp certified for sure.
Completely agree. Dwight Stones is terrible on the play-by-play. There's no inflection in his voice. He barely changes his cadence in the last meters of a close race for a national title.
I think he'd sound exactly the same announcing the mahjong tournament at a retirement home.

*US track. the diamond league team is great. I was also really impressed with the woman that did the Mondo Classic.
Flotrack is what? $30/mo now? That’s gonna be a no from me dawg.
The NIN team interviewing the winners are horrible! Trying to create fake hype and coming off like bad wedding DJs. They seem to have no clue what is going on other than...
"Here's your Nike chain, dawg! Yo, national champ! You loving it? (muttered reply or hand sign from athlete) Give it up for your national champion, Quantarious Jacksonnnnnnnnn!!!"
Good announcers are at DIII championship
That female announcer really loves to hear herself talk.
