Where to Watch McFarland, USA
- wonderrxjrOctober 3, 2025This made me miss cross country so much. Such a cool story to show. Kevin really did a great job portraying the coach loved him so much. It was cool seeing all those guys kinda come up in their own as they kept evolving in the team. I wish I had seen this while I was running cross country maybe it could have motivated me to shave off another 10 seconds
