Official 2014 Foot Locker XC LIve DIscussion Thread

Where did Dressel end up this year?

I tried to watch, but it was too choppy. Is there a static replay of the full race?

Im pretty sure resier was 7th, but honestly i couldnt tell..

Fisher after the race

"This means the world to me. "

"To end my HS carer with this. You can't really put it into words."

"last year was a really fun race and agreat battle with john. I didn't want to leave it to that late this time. we've been working on hill training and really preparing for this course. WE've been prepating for this and i want to thank my coach for what he's done."

"A shout out to everyonbe back home in Michigan."

And that brings up the infamous question... Fisher(FL) v. Anderson(NXN) who wins?

Flotracks live tweets painted a better picture than the live "stream" did...

classy individual

So it works great during the interview but now the race...

And that brings up the infamous question... Fisher(FL) v. Anderson(NXN) who wins?

_________

Fisher. He's just at a different level than everyone else in HS right now.

Anderson is good but I think Fisher is on another level. I think there are only a handful of guys in HS history that could beat him and Anderson isn't one of them. Fisher's kick is so good that you'd need a guy like Ritz to drop him.

Hacker was second at FL and NXN. Only 10th at FL MW. Very impressive.

Hacker was training through FL MW...remember the goal is just to qualify

Fisher no question

Also I think it's funny how the FL broadcast crew completely ignore NXN. They haven't mentioned anything about it and if they watched it, they'd know Hacker is no surprise -- he was second last week.

A pretty modest pace for awhile, but Fisher's last downhill and finish was memorable and devastating. He was no doubt the best. A rather brutal finish for Maton, Ostberg and a few of the other favorites. But they've had great seasons and careers.Hacker getting 2nd two straight weeks is very impressive, too.

Wow!!! Fisher is DESTROYING THEM. A man amongst boys. He's racing Ritz for history..

MY GOD!!! IS THIS A JOKE. wHAT A BEAST.

tHIS IS INCREDIBLE. HE'S DESTROYED THEM.

1436 AT 3 MILES.

Especially Maton. After ditching his team and staying in there after West just for this race.

Olin Hacker - 2nd at NXN and FLN

"I gave it everything. I just had to leave it all out there," said Hacker waho was in out of the lead pack throghout the race but hammered it home from the bottom of the hill.

"(The finish) felt incredibliy and awful at the same time. i have an incredible team to train with."

The announcers are saying Olin hacker came out of nowhere as he was 10th in his region. Far from it. His dad was a stud and he was 2nd at NXN. He probably took it as easy as possible at regionals.

Elijah Armstrong, "On the second hill, I was still feeling pretty good until Grant made his move at the top. When he goes, he goes."

"I still had a great race and you can't ask for anything else."

XC Tanner!

Also a great race for Jesse Reiser. Hes been sick the past few weeks and ran very well finishing 8th place today after a 6th finish last week at NXN. This guy really flew under the radar all year.
