Great Video
That was the most bizarre video I've ever seen. The idiot announcer didn't even know who won the race, and didn't mention that Frazier was coming up on the leader.
The announcer never saw Frazier closing so fast
You've got to see this to believe it!!!!!!!
the girl sitting on Erin Finn had a Paula Radcliffe head bob going on... she showed no emotion in her face whatsoever. And then Frazier coming out of nowhere, with the announcer completely clueless. What a WEIRD race and video!!
That is a HS record!!!
Ya the girl in pink who is bobbing her head has terrible form ..does not look elite to me
classic
you got to run through the tape
That couldn't have happened to a better person. Finn is always talking big and Frazier just gets it done. Finn spoke about being sick and later said she couldn't wait to race healthy again. Well she looked healthy until the last 2-3 laps her fast start caught up to her.
Why can't she just pat Wesley on the back and say 'nice job'? Why qualify a national record?

Because the goal is not to be the nicest
Finn's head was spinning the last lap...her slowest as far as I can tell.
Finn had her arms up because she thought she had won. Frazier had them up because she was diving into the tape, gettin' it done.

I'm going to guess this is Mackenzie Barry of NJ because she was in the race. Terrible form, yes, but a multiple Meet of Champs winner so I guess it works.
watch the race- barrys in white

Yes you're right I watched the video. The girl in pink was the 14th seed, some MA girl, not Barry.
THAT WAS EPIC BIAS FROM THE RACE ANNOUNCER. What a dumb@ss. Who is that guy, not that it matters, but he had no freaking clue. Just wanted Finn to win and set the HSR.

They must have gotten the announcer and camera guys from nbc.

The head bobber had a strong performance in the two mile today as well.
The look on the officials holding the tape is priceless! They were like "what the hell just happened there?"
You need to run through the tape!
