I chose to run in the Foot Locker Cross Country Championship because of its history. Some runners that have raced here have been great college athletes and even Olympic Champions. I knew the experience would be incredible if I made it. The athletes are able to meet professional runners, and other of the best runners in the country. More comments

The best!! The best possible trip for an athlete. A great course and an all around amazing experience! Foot locker has a history of great national meets, it is an honor to be able to participate in this amazing event.More comments

I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Foot Locker meet. I went last year and couldn’t imagine not being able to go again, so making nationals was a goal since last year. I love the investment by Foot Locker eastbay and new balance and it makes the event unique and special. I’m appreciative to Nike for putting on a similar event but to anyone deciding between the two national meets, I would recommend Foot Locker. There’s just nothing like it! The experience will stick with you for years to come.    Comments by the 2018 Foot Locker Cross Country Finalists

Foot Locker was an amazing experience. This is my first year here and my first time in San Diego. I met a lot of new people and I had a great time bonding with all the other individuals. The atmosphere here is amazing. All the individuals are so close and so nice and we will all remain friends for a long time. And also getting to hangout with the professional athletes is very cool and inspiring to know that these olympians and world champions once ran the same race that we did and to see how far they have come it really inspiring.    Comments by the 2018 Foot Locker Cross Country Finalists

I chose to run Foot Locker because of the great tradition and focus on the individual competition. It was surreal. It was great being around and competing with so many talented athletes. Foot Locker and New Balance did a great job spoiling us with very nice running clothes and gear as well as putting us in the beautiful Hotel Del Coronado.

It's the pinnacle of cross country competition at the high school level. I love it here and the Foot Locker staff puts on an amazing meet and weekend every year. The gear that we get is also always really awesome and it is really neat to see what the NB crew comes up with every year.
