Foot Locker Finals returning to
San Diego?
There have been rumors lately that that this
is true, and for a few days the Foot
Locker Cross Country web page had a link for "Nationals"
that said: "December 14, 2002, Balboa Park, San Diego,
California." That link has been removed, leaving just
the date and no location. A Foot Locker announcement on
the situation is expected soon.
When this meet was called the Kinney Cross Country Championships,
it was held at San Diego. Foot Locker took over Kinney Shoes
and renamed the meet in 1993. It has been run at Disney
World in Orlando FL since 1997.

Alan Webb turns
pro! Track writer
Chris Lear reports on the Runner's
World web site that high school mile record holder
Alan Webb will not return to the University of Michigan
for his sophomore year and will instead turn pro with
Flynn Sports Management as agent. Lear, who has been
monitoring the Michigan scene for a new book, quotes
Michigan Coach Ron Warhurst and miler Paul McMullen,
who trains with Warhurst and is also a Flynn client.
Lear also said that Webb has withdrawn from the USA
Junior Nationals at Stanford this weekend. Lear said
that Webb will enroll at George Mason University near
his Northern Virginia home and will be coached by his
South Lakes HS coach, Scott Raczko. "I really feel
the way I'm going to get better is to work with Scotty.
He's definitely the guy for me. I'm excited," Webb
is quoted as saying in the article. |
