I love hearing Jordan talk about this. I lost my mom on 2017, and Ive been mad at myself because when I used to compete I never told my mom about when or where the races were because i was embarrassed by her and to this day I regret it. I mainly focused on 10k but had fun doing some halfs I always wanted to do a full marathon just to say I did, but now i want to do one and have my mom there in spirit so she can look down and watch.

I remember when she finished the boston marathon she started crying and said she ran for her mom. It was so sweet.

What a lovely mom!

I hope to see her in Tokyo as a competitor!!

I am a fan of Jordan Hasay and i was watching the video with happiness until someone star to cutting onions when I saw her with her mom and dad. My best wishes always for Jordan Hasay and a sincere wish of hope that she can achieved all the goals she has in her mother's memory.

Thank you for always taking the time to say hi to my friend Joe Mallon over the years while you were getting ready for your races. The kindness that you showed my friend Joe is something I noticed about you.

We love you Jordan! Since you were a wee girl at St. Pat's you have been awe inspiring. All the best as you go for your Olympic medal.

You are a wonderful lady. I am so sorry about your Mom. Run on !

I always begin at the beginning. The first stories I heard about Jordan was that she would run a home made course that began in her driveway and ended in her driveway. No coach, no formal training, she just did it on her own. She came to Mt SAC and owned it first time out. Down the road she ran a winning 3200 at Arcadia. Her mother and I were both there. Got a high five from Teresa that day! A couple of wins at the FootLocker, 3200 champ all four years of high school, junior year 9:52 against Laurynne Chetelat PhD UC Davis, who was just a third of a second behind her. There was another beginning that was nearly identical to Jordan's. Melody Fairchild from Boulder, Colorado, well before Jordan's day. She ran a home-made course through her neighborhood at age 10. The first girl to break 10 in the two-mile, two wins in a row at the FootLocker (called the Kinney Cross Country Championships in those earlier years). They both ran for the University of Oregon and Melody is still a masters runner today in Colorado. She was just inducted into the Oregon Hall of Fame, and I'm sure we'll all see Jordan follow down that road. Both Melody and Jordan are one of a kind. They both are early bloomers, they both have performed well beyond their peers, and I feel it was a little tougher for Melody. The running community today is a lot smarter about nutrition, training, and certainly the equipment for both training and running has improved dramatically. But I have enjoyed watching Jordan from those early days when I was coaching a junior high team myself. I have learned to have the patience of Job, as the Bible says. Just wait and you won't be disappointed. She is surrounded by a wealth of knowledge in Rupp, Salazar, her dad, fellow runners and friends. Taking nothing away from Michael Jordan, she really is "Air Jordan." I may be wrong but I think it was Rich Gonzalez who pinned that name on her, probably when he was calling a FootLocker race. So it's 11:30PM and in a half hour it will be my birthday, #71! I will consider this video, in a small way, kind of a birthday present. I'm really enjoying it!

The kindness that she showed my friend Joe Mallon over the years when she was getting ready for her races she always would say hi back to my friend just a couple of minutes before her race showed me how classy of a person Jordan Hassey is.

She's absolutely rad. What a beautiful story, heartbreaking, and she's smiling all along.

i am in tears. beautiful people.

She's such a beautiful, soulful person on the inside. I have a lot to learn.

Such a beautiful human being! Inspirational for sure.

Hasay with the strength, perfect vertical form and long legs. Crazy fast.

Beautiful inside and out!! Thank you!

What a beautiful human in and outside .

Great run video keep on going Jordan hi fives

Awesome Jordan.....very inspiring ! 🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬

This is the greatest video I have ever seen and watch it everyday cause it bring me tears in a good way!!!

You are HUGE INSPIRACTION. Thank you for shearing.

Beautiful story, beautiful person!! 😊❤️

You are an amazing and awesome person! Thank you for sharing. Continue inspiring people not just in America, but all around the world.

What a sweet, inspiring runner. Keep up the great work Jordan!

This was wonderfully done, and so nice to see Ms. Hasay captured so well. She is such a treasure, and such a wonderful person. We, who live in the community she grew up in, absolutely adore her. About 5 or 6 years ago I was at the local swap meet and a beautiful pair of shoes caught my eye at a seller's booth. They turned out to be a custom made pair of red, white, and blue, Nike distance spikes, that had been made especially for Ms. Hasay. They had her name embroidered vertically up the heel. I had a daughter on the local HS XC and Track team, so I purchased them, knowing how special they were. I wasn't intending to keep them, or have my daughter race in them. I just wanted to get them back to Ms. Hasay, and her family, figuring that they probably didn't belong just sitting out at the swap meet. I'm not a fan of social media, but I made a twitter acc't and sent Ms. Hasay a message, offering to return the shoes to her parents (or her) who still lived locally. I felt like a stalker doing that, but I just thought they might have liked her racing shoes back. Ms. Hasay responded very kindly, that we could keep them, and when she was in town, she'd be happy to sign them. My daughter was training on the local college track a few months later, and saw Ms. Hasay, who was kind enough to wait for my daughter to go home, grab the shoes, and return! The shoes garnered a lot of compliments, and my daughter raced in them with pride, her entire 4yrs of HS, both before and after they were signed. Ms. Hasay continues to inspire local runners, especially the young ladies.

Great story! That's really the way Jordan is.

Absolutely inspiring, you will be on the podium in the Olympics, I’m sure of it. Thank you and good luck

Almost Birthday time everyone. Jordan's is soooooo easy to remember, 9/21, ten days after 9/11. Hoping she's still on schedule for the Chicago Marathon next month. I think I know what her goal is at Chicago. Let's see if everyone else can pick up on it during the race.

a beautiful person

wow great video very positive. what a nice young lady she is. very inspirational.

Been a fan since her early Footlocker days.

Wow...you're so motivating. Dig Deep.

Jordan est une personne à la fois talentueuse dans sa spécialité, intelligente, sociable, souriante et humble. Voilà un ensemble de qualités que l'on ne retrouve de nos jours que très rarement chez une seule personne. C'est sans aucun doute quelqu'un que nous serions bien avisés d'imiter.

This is so nice

Please make more videos jordan!

Hi Jordan! My son is a Boston Marathon qualifier. Unfortunately the Boston Marathon got canceled. But the good thing my son is back on the central coast. He is a really sweet person and kind of shy. He could really use some running friends.

You are Truly down to earth awesome California babe!!!! Love Your BEAUTIFUL Long Hair 👍❤👍

Very promising talent.

good job !

beautiful lady. Thank you

wow You have a great running technique

Maybe not pc from an older runner but she sure was/is such a cute or beautiful vibrant runner-hope she continues to excel and enjoy the sport...lifestyle.

So sad!

This girl would of made a really cool peaceful hippie..

1) I am HAPPY for Jordan and her success. 2) Her success--and Galen Rupp's--will always be tarnished by being associated with Alberto Salazar and the Nike Oregon Project. That's sad.

What's sad.....pathetic actually......is that you would actually think that, let alone come here and say it. You are a very small and insignificant man, successful only in showing your insecurity.
