This is what cross country's all about! So beautiful to the passion of xc athletes look out for each other on the same field even if they don't know each other :)
Cross country is a sport where most people care about each other and when you pass someone you say words of encouragement and help people when they need help
It's true HUMAN spirit. Not true American spirit. There are people like that all over the world. No, there is no such thing as "the greatest nation", every nation has it's good and bad.
totally agree with you, both girls are a inspiration to others this remind us of Meghan, who has helped a competitor finnishing sending you my love & respect from Saudi Arabia
hi kayla. my name is robert. that was absolutely fabulous sportsmanship-helping the other girl finish the race. i'm very proud of you for doing that.🤗a big hug for you.
cross country is a good sport.. everyone is so nice and encouraging others and helping them to the finish line.. i know im not even close to being the best by finishing a race at 26-27mins for 3 miles but i still enjoy it.
I ran XC and if my opponents in distress, I helped, or sought out the proper. When running one race thru some woods I came across another runner sitting down having a breathing problems. I stopped (could not touch or DQ) got her to stand up, and walked with her until we found an aid from her school who could take her and get her the inhaler she needed. Only then did I start running once the aid got to her and knew what was wrong. Sure I lost my top 10 position in the race, but in this case I did not care. My coach understood and was pleased I did that. The aid later thanked him for my actions.
This is something I love about cross country. A race that I had earlier in the year, I was having trouble breathing so this girl from another school came up to me and was running with me. I nearly collapsed and she grabbed my arm (this girl I had never seen before) and she kept saying "you're almost there, you can do it".
So so heart warming and touching being a runner is no joke especially doing cross country and Marathon I was one of the greatest Athlete in my days back in the 80's I always help other Athletes after always come in first place I would be there cheering them helping put so they can get across to the finish line I believe in love and respect 🙏 for my fellow athletes we are all winners in such a though sports may God bless 🙌 your amazing soul stay say and healthy in the Almighty father who gave us love ❤️ to spread across the world 🌎 to each other 😊😅
These are the good kids of America. I can remember consulting a teammate from a club team that didn’t play for my school. We won our sectional and I climb on their bus to hug and tell him next year is yours, I was a Senior and he was a Junior.
well i want thank this young lady who stood up and showed what true sportsmen ship is all about. showing that there are still good in this world. WHY to go and thanks again
This teaches me that children know how to treat others and show love better than adults, I hope some grown ups learn from this, we are one race the human race. ..
I have a experience like this another team member from another school helped me finish my race in 30th place and even then she helped me after our race and i thanked her for it. If she never help me i probably never would of finish my race
This is why I love Xcross country. I ran side by side with a rival and towards the end I didn't have enough in the gas tank to kick it out with him. I finished behind him. I got across the finish line and was done lol. I dropped to my knees and the rival guy picked me up and congratulated me. Never in a million years would I have expected that. Although whenever we pass another rival we always tell them "Good job." We all know how tired each other are and how hard we push to get across that line.
It's so nice to see an act of kindness : ) If we could just get over our petty differences we could all be connected. After all, We are the Human Race : ) Much Peace and Love to All : ) Let's all try to have a peaceful 2016 : )
I'm watching this through this racism crisis and look at this kids no one even blinked an eye of what colour these girls are, someone needed help and she helped, I'm a white guy but if anyone needed help then I would help anyone regardless of skin or culture
Actually, Kayla explained in the video that she knew that rule too, and that's why she released the arm-locking before the finish line, and let Maryn cross the finish line on her own first before she followed 1 step later. ( 1:02 - 1:07 )
Total class act. This is a really great story I hope people learn from.
kpictures YEAH✌
This is what cross country's all about! So beautiful to the passion of xc athletes look out for each other on the same field even if they don't know each other :)

It's true HUMAN spirit. Not true American spirit. There are people like that all over the world. No, there is no such thing as "the greatest nation", every nation has it's good and bad.

What a lovely young lady thought of the girl who was in pain and helped her finish 💖
I ran XC and if my opponents in distress, I helped, or sought out the proper.
When running one race thru some woods I came across another runner sitting down having a breathing problems.
I stopped (could not touch or DQ) got her to stand up, and walked with her until we found an aid from her school who could take her and get her the inhaler she needed. Only then did I start running once the aid got to her and knew what was wrong.

Heartwarming story. It is stories like this that restores my faith in faith humanity.
I wish all kids were like this
There's some lessons in this story beyond a race, for those of us who presumably are "old enough to know better..."
if we all tried to be 50% as good of a human being as this young lady....we would be doing real good

Unbreakable bond? James Bond
Samuel probably got herself disqualified for doing this.
This is Christian LOVE & HUMANITY!
Anyone else notice she didn’t worry about the color of the other girls skin, nice job young lady..
jack tom gahahaha...i guess..
I hope I don't end up like this and I'm doing cross country
You hope you don't help People?
I want to help people but I don't want to hurt anything and can't walk
I'm watching this through this racism crisis and look at this kids no one even blinked an eye of what colour these girls are, someone needed help and she helped, I'm a white guy but if anyone needed help then I would help anyone regardless of skin or culture
🙏
They both were obviously disqualified tho bc you can't assist a runner over the finish
Kim C I was thinking that
Actually, Kayla explained in the video that she knew that rule too, and that's why she released the arm-locking before the finish line, and let Maryn cross the finish line on her own first before she followed 1 step later. ( 1:02 - 1:07 )
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢
So these girls actually won
The white girl is beautiful
With Jonshon mrs teachers
I've done this before
That's God's love in action ☺
Never help somebody. finish your race then go and help!
