Foot Locker West Region
Boys Seeded Race Start Positions
Central Catholic junior Galen
Rupp stunned national observers in defeating Klamath Union's Lauren
Jespersen at the Oregon State Championships, but the KU star avenged
the setback with his own head-to-head triumph at the Nike Border Clash
shortly thereafter. These two stars have rekindled a distance frenzy within
the state and now bring their running talents to Foot Locker West, with
berths to nationals in mind! (photo courtesy of Josh Rowe.)
* The top 80 rated runners in the SEEDED
RACE will be right on the starting line: 30 in the center box and 25 on
each side box. All remaining runners will be on the second line, a few
feet back (to help ease congestion).
* The first 10 returnees from last year’s
regional automatically are in the center box, assigned bib numbers 1 through
10 based upon their placing order from last year. The rest of the runners
listed below will have bib numbers assigned randomly, not the numbers
that are listed below.
* These positions are tentative, based
on results obtained by meet management. We welcome any input. If you provide
input, please include supporting data. Please offer more information than
merely stating "this athlete set five course records this year."
Please realize that most of the athletes in the top 30 list have set a
slew of course records this year. To better help the athlete, please list
which athletes listed in the top 30 below he has beaten this year, with
supporting data.
* State champions are not automatically
granted a spot in the top 30. Why? Because there are usually more than
30 state champions in the West Region (12 states plus the U.S. Military
Territories, with many states having multiple state champions in their
many divisions). As it is, nearly 20 state champions have yet to register
(some are walk-up registration during packet pick-up) and we already have
31 registered.
* Please send all comments and suggestions
(with supporting data on your views) on these start-line seeds to [email protected]
* Start lists will be updated nightly.
Last boys revision was done on Wednesday, December
4, at 9:45 p.m. PST
It's a Who's Who parade of talent as Michael Haddan
(#1893) leads a sprint to the finish at the California state championships,
with Arroyo's Yong-Sung Leal, Rubidoux's Antonio Jimenez, Cypress' David
Napper and Mar Vista's Troy Swier in full throttle pursuit! Haddan is
the reigning CA 800-meter champion (1:51.02), with Leal sparkling for
the U.S. team at the World Junior XC Championships in Ireland last March!
