Announcer says there are two 7-year olds running the half and a 12-year old running the full.

Yes. Leaders 15:51 at 5k, Hasay 19 seconds back in 8th. Looked like she was running alone.

Interesting. These people's spirits don't appear to be broken after the Texans' departure from the playoffs last night.

The coverage on abc13 is horrible so far. The didn't show anything to do with the elites OR the elite start, and there is no sound! (My sound is definitely turned up.) WTH?! Anyone else experiencing this "coverage"?
