Footlocker Nationals

Over the weekend the Footlocker National race was aired live over the footlocker cross country website, http://footlockercc.com/. The race was on Saturday December 14th in San Diego's Balboa Park. There were eighty runners there, forty girls and forty boys. All the runners had an all paid for trip to San Diego for the race. They stayed in a luxurious hotel, Hotel Del Coronado and in their hotel rooms they found a plethora of free items, ranging from t-shirts to free running shoes and racing spikes! All the runners spent about two or three days in San Diego before the race. They spent their time bonding with the other runners from their region and enjoyed themselves on the beach before they had to race. The course they had to run on was very challenging. There was a monster of hill that they had to run up three times! The race itself was great to watch. Although the quality of the video was not the best, you could see every exciting part of the race and you did not miss anything important. The winners of the races were Grant Fisher from the Midwest for the boys race and Tessa Barrett from the Northeast for the girls race. The links below will take you to the full results of each race.
