For over thirty years, the Foot Locker Cross Country has been the Horatio Alger stories of American distance running. From Suzi Favor Hamilton to Bob Kennedy to Charles Alexander to Ceci St. Geme have all run there! The Nike NXN will be held next weekend, on December 4, the same day as the West FootLocker Regional, with the FootLocker Championships to be held on December 12 in San Diego, California.
High school cross country gets the focus for the next couple of weeks. Enjoy the commentary from Walt Murphy on the three FootLocker regionals!
