Shoutout to the reporters who broke a sweat sprinting to deliver news of the Manafort verdict
When President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty on eight counts — including filing false tax returns and bank fraud — journalists quite literally sprinted to report the news.
You see, with no cell phones allowed in the courthouse the word had to be delivered the old fashioned way — by foot. After Manafort was convicted on eight counts and 10 others were declared a mistrial, reporters burst from the Albert V. Bryan United States Courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia.
In the name of journalism, reporters fearlessly broke a sweat, and TBH it extremely entertaining to watch. Here's video footage so you can feel the adrenaline secondhand.

While multiple dedicated reporters got their cardio in for the day, as you can see in the above video, the journalist in the blue dress, named Cassie Semyon, truly hustled.
After the trial, Semyon — a former cross-country runner and current intern for Andrea Mitchell Reports —completely owned her sprint on Twitter, tweeting a photo of herself in action with the hashtag #GoBlueDressGo.

Professional photographers also captured hilarious action shots of the real MVPs of the day as they ran back and forth from the courthouse.
To all the reporters who ran their heart outs on Tuesday, the American people thank you.
