Ricky Quintana's Quotes
Strange rise of James Strang - New kid from Tennessee comes back from anemia and cheer leads other runners in the stretch. Brian Sullivan runs third fastest time ever at McAlpine Park.
Jenny Barringer makes amends in girls race - "I'm very proud of what I did," says Barringer, healthy this year in contrast to last year when she was sick the whole week of regionals.

Sullivan and Barringer Capture First Place Titles in 25th Anniversary
Foot Locker Cross Country Championships South Regional

Charlotte, N.C., November 29, 2003 -- Brian Sullivan of The Woodlands, Texas, and Jennifer Barringer of Oviedo, Fla., won the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships (FLCCC) South Regional at McAlpine Greenway Park in Charlotte, N.C., today.

Sullivan, a senior at The Woodlands High School and top FLCCC returnee, dominated the race from start to finish, setting a fast and furious pace and winning the Regional in 14:46, three seconds behind the course record of 14:43 set by Alan Webb (2000). Sullivan placed sixth in last year's Regional race. Erik Stanley of Spring, Texas, finished second in 14:48, with James Strang of Signal Mountain, Tenn., placing third in 14:51.

Barringer, a junior at Oviedo High School, took command of the race early on claiming a 30-yard lead at the 1.5-mile mark. She continued to widen the gap through the woods, never relinquishing her first-place spot, and went on to win the race in 17:27. Barringer placed 12th in last year's South Regional, just missing her chance to compete on the National team. Angelina Blackmon of Rockhill, S.C., finished second in 17:42, with Erin Bedell of Plano, Texas, following closely at her heels to place third in 17:47. Rachael Forish of Arlington, Texas was last year's South Regional winner and returned to place sixth in 17:50, earning her second chance to compete at the Nationals.

The runners enjoyed ideal racing conditions with sunny skies, brisk winds and temperatures in the low-40's.
