2002 Nike Athletes of the Year

the dominant high school track and field athletes
of the 2001-2002 school year

Bobby Curtis

2003, St. Xavier Louisville KY


Bobby Curtis hit the national stage as a sophomore when he caught Bobby Lockhart at the tape to win the Nike Indoor Classic mile. This year, he repeated in the Nike Indoor and added Arcadia and AOC Raleigh to his big meet collection. Ironically, his fastest time of the year came in his only loss at a mile, to Chris Lukezic at the Golden West, with their times holding up as the US#1 and US#2 of the year. Nine of the top 12 milers in the US this year were juniors, and Curtis will lead that group into the 2003 season.
