I wish Cooper Teare nothing but the best. I could feel everything he was saying right from his heart. This was one of the best post-race interviews ever. So real.
This reminds me of Cheptegei at the world XC champs in 2017 and Jakob Ingebrigtsen at the world u20 XC champs in 2019. Just before the finish, they just were completely gassed, like all the energy was zapped out of their body
And Patrick Tiernan in the Olympic 10000 this year. He was running with the pack but couldn't keep up with the sprint of Barega and just couldn't keep it up; he fell over multiple times and although he was only a few seconds behind the leaders with a lap to go, he finished in 28:35, 43 seconds adrift of the podium finishers.
As a long time distance runner, I get it. That is what we do. Although I have never blown up like that, I have seen it. Massive respect to Cooper Teare and all those who have given it all in a race or workout. Distance runners are the toughest people out there.
Cooper Teare said prior to the race that he was going to take it to the edge and he did...That was a blistering first two miles and then Conor Mantz took the race to a higher level.....More drama in 30 minutes of X Country than in 3 hours of NCAA Football or Basketball. And no question as to who is(are) the best Conor Mantz for the 2nd year in a row and NAU for winning 5 of the last 6 Championships... Congratulations to all that made this such an excellent competition.
keep in mind however that cooper is much much younger than mantz, in that race I’m pretty sure Mantz was probably the oldest on the field, super strong and a crazy race. He’s a best but definitely more of a shock to coopers system as he’s much younger.
I've been there too my friend. I ran in a district cross country meet at Pier Park in Oregon with a 102 degree fever and was literally crawling across the finish line to finish in 42nd place. I was projected to finish in the top 10 had I been healthy so I can certainly relate. It takes guts to finish the way you did and wish you all the best.
I've liked cross country and now I like it more. I went to BYU so I'm happy Mantz won and we did so well but Teare was incredible. All respect to him. There was more than one winner in this race.
It was not great viewing but so pleased to see the Cooper T. seems to have recovered well. I believe this was his last race for his Uni. so such a shame he could not have finished in style, comfort and celebrated as he would have wanted. But the majority of us runners have suffered setbacks; we have to evaluate, determine what we could have done better and reset our goals for the future. Let's hope this one race does not diminish his love for the sport and his motivation for the future. Wish him well.
I would say his effort in the last 50 yards was tougher than the efforts of Mantz's finish in sheer toughness ! A 3:50 miler NCAA indoor record holder has the pedigree to say "I can finish a race any way that happens" Going out in 4:16 mile and 8:55 at 2 miles was a blistering pace. He has all my respects, kudos for him finishing.
Teare (a TH-cam personality) crawling the last 50 yards, when all the people and cameras are there to watch is not tougher than Mantz out kicking the best NCAA distance runners in the country…..
@@ninjapacquiao15 he’s more than a “TH-cam Personality”, and you know that, obviously. EVERYONE was gritty and tough, from Mantz to the very last fella.
@@itsame593 He’s a phenomenal runner AS WELL AS a TH-cam personality. Which is why when he saw a chance to put on a performance for the cameras he jumped on it. People who are not naive tend to be able to spot stuff like that out. It was quite obvious.
@@triniboy05 think about it dude…. If you mentally gave up in a race and obviously under performed…. Why not put on a breathtaking act of “bravery” at the finish line in front of the crowds and cameras to boost your image and TH-cam channel. If you are familiar with psychology, you spotted this the instant it happened.
Well Cooper Teare remember Joshua Cheptegei in world cross country in 2017; 29 min mark of this video (th-cam.com/video/aKald03NZ10/w-d-xo.html), he had a race similar to yours, but two years later he was breaking track and road world records and then winning world and olympic gold medals. You are an amazing talent and can't wait to see you at Worlds in Eugene next summer. You grew in stature as a force to be reckoned with today
I remember just prior to our Div 2 national meet running to qualify and I literally had to walk the last mile of the race. Found out that I had Mono really bad. So I didn't get to go to nationals. Our team took 2nd that year.
Ran a mid season invitational my freshman year. Couldn't understand why I was so tired and breathing so hard. Finished and went to the team van. Was in the school infirmary that evening with mono. Season was over.
That was legend level effort. Incredible determination and show of mind over body. If you've haven't seen it go to 31:50 mark in the race video.: th-cam.com/video/idGwp02Aq5E/w-d-xo.html
@@papaflores3084 He does have eligibility for track still, but he hasn’t decided whether or not he’ll use it. Lots of depth in the NCAA though, so either way he’ll find strong competitors.
@@doctoradrift damn that’s crazy. I heard everyone went out hard lol it’s painful to see that. Especially a competitor like Cooper. I’m just shocked because it’s only 10k.
Physically, what actually happens that causes you to Hit The Wall is such a short race? Is it not enough Salt? Viral Infection? He seems healthy and normal in the interview.
I’ve seen a couple people say Teare crawling the last 50 yards is braver or tougher than Mantz out kicking and winning the race against the best NCAA distance runners in the country….. This is what participation award culture gives us. Where people thing the guy who lost is more admirable then the guy who won. If you think Mantz wasn’t hurting just as bad as Teare you’re probably not familiar with cross country. He just was the strongest man out of the bunch today.
I don’t think people are discrediting Mantz is race, he did amazing and ran very well. But it’s also important to keep in mind that Mantz is MUCH MUCH older than the rest of the field. He’s basically an 7th year senior and much older than Cooper Teare. Also from an accolade point of view I would say Cooper is much more accomplished in Track and Field. Not discrediting Mantz in anyway but comparing their last 200M it’s clear that coopers body was working much harder to finish than Mantz.
The interviewer should have got Cooper to step aside, because hearing rap music in the back of this is really sketchy, considering it is more profound and sombre mood.

Truth
th-cam.com/video/iTUZuU3t174/w-d-xo.html
Cooper Teare is a different breed for this. Other people in his position would have just dropped out, but this was a testament to his determination.
I think most people that close to the finish line would not have dropped out… the xc spirit flows through everyone not just top performers
Where’s the video?
@@SequoiaBoy I dont think most people would have gotten to that point of actually crawling though
@@jp05598 th-cam.com/video/idGwp02Aq5E/w-d-xo.html
It shows Cooper around the 31 to 33 minute mark
as a D1 runner for 3 years I feel like I have witnessed it often enough
Gotta love “Baby Got Back” in the background 😂 We will be seeing Cooper Teare for many more years 👏
Yeah….pretty difficult to concentrate on Coop’s content when SirMixalot is rapping “LA face with an Oakland booty”….
"You learn more about yourself on these days than you do on the days when you have it all there" 💯 the Coop
I can’t imagine running a 4:15 mile as it is let alone running a 4:15 mile as the first mile in a 10k. Absolute inspiration for his determination!
This reminds me of Cheptegei at the world XC champs in 2017 and Jakob Ingebrigtsen at the world u20 XC champs in 2019. Just before the finish, they just were completely gassed, like all the energy was zapped out of their body

i’d love to see him come back like cheptegei in the future. both absolute beasts, gorilla and duck.

and the music 😭

We love you Coop ❤️
Yoooo Asian sensation watching cross videos what??
AYOOO ASIAN SENSATION WATCHING CROSS VIDEOS? ARE YOU A CROSS RUNNER?!??
Massive respect. He said he wanted to leave it all out there, to fall over at the finish. It happened.
The music in the background was incredibly ironic.
So much respect. I was already a fan, but this just takes it to a whole other level.
Much respect, especially for this interview with “baby got back” playing the entire time in the background.

So much class! I have been a fan for awhile and today was another dimension. Well done Cooper. You are always an inspiration.
Admirable. He showed how we approach each race, each day, each reflection, and he’s a credit to our sport.
Moments like these touch the world. Bowerman would be proud.
Cooper thank you for sharing and for showing that you can be a champion without winning. 🏆
lol, he's giving this honest and vulnerable interv...."BABY GOT BACK!!!"
There should NOT EVER be a dislike to this video. If you saw the race, then this side of it, all heart.
Amazing moment - dude is a beast! Our sport is the best!
Cooper Teare, you did your best. You won even though you did not win the race. Congratulations.
What a terrific young man. Poise, gives thanks to other runners and the medical staff. Shows his humbleness and he his a monster on the track.
I've liked cross country and now I like it more. I went to BYU so I'm happy Mantz won and we did so well but Teare was incredible. All respect to him. There was more than one winner in this race.
4:16 through the mile. Connor was really putting the pain on the field

He is a class act for sure. Most XC runners are like this which makes the sport that much more enjoyable.
Cooper is a beast!!!
Respect!

He was also on epo
Why am I tearing up after watching him like that??
Man's a beast, nothing but respect. Incredible to see him give everything he had to just make it across the finish line
Great guy and he is amazing, but also the music guys going at
Cooper status level = Hero
Buen trabajo soldado
Hell of an effort
He’s got a lot more awesome days ahead of himself. He’ll break 3:50 in the mile and this will all be forgotten.
Sports build men with character and resolve. No participation trophies just life lessons.

Is his dad behind him playing his banger playlist?
Does anyone have info on the girl who fell?
Who is playing baby got back in the background? lol
That's what I was thinking...I thought I had a video or something on in another window.
Time to go Pro.
That was legend level effort. Incredible determination and show of mind over body. If you've haven't seen it go to 31:50 mark in the race video.: th-cam.com/video/idGwp02Aq5E/w-d-xo.html
And now he's the US National Champion.
Your day will come.
Dehydration?
The song 😭😭😭
I wonder what happened… Did he just blow up?? Nice to see the attitude. I’m not surprised if he goes pro before track.
correct me if im wrong but this was his final eligibility for cross but i dont know if he still have eligibility for track still
@@papaflores3084 He does have eligibility for track still, but he hasn’t decided whether or not he’ll use it. Lots of depth in the NCAA though, so either way he’ll find strong competitors.
Glycogen depletion
@@doctoradrift damn that’s crazy. I heard everyone went out hard lol it’s painful to see that. Especially a competitor like Cooper. I’m just shocked because it’s only 10k.
@@chrisvarelabenitez4690 that’s his longest race though.
Maybe felt like the last of 500 miles....mind over matter-Matters.
i legit cried when i saw that. I'm so glad no one helped him like those 'motivational' stories. that was absolutely epic.
Teare didn't crawl across the finish line. He was on his feet
Jenny Simpson flashbacks
Going out at 4:15 is bonkers
And I would walk 500 miles and I would 500 more…. Fresh on the background music
I clicked so fast
What causes runners to go down like that?
4:16 first miles in a 10k
Glycogen stores at zero.
Lactic acid = cramping
I wonder if he was struggling to focus on talking with baby got back playing in the background
How is it possible to bonk in 10k race? Not eating past few days, or training too much anaerobically before race?
Probably running 4:16 first mile and holding that pace for 5.2 more
Cooper crawled 500 miles
Physically, what actually happens that causes you to Hit The Wall is such a short race? Is it not enough Salt? Viral Infection? He seems healthy and normal in the interview.
1:05 in the back lol
