Subject: t-and-f: HS Footlocker Championship Preliminary/Historical Info (long)

Date: Mon, 08 Dec 97 16:34:00 est





The following is my opinion on the upcoming hs Footlocker Championships   

and a little history.



If you analyze the regional times from 1 to 8 since 1990 and look at who   

won, for the boys side it looks like the winner could be either Abdirizak   

Mohammud, Sr MA from the North like last year or possibly Jorge Torres,   

Jr IL who has been at the big race the last 2 years.  It will be   

interesting to see how running at the US Junior Nationals will effect him   

along with recovering from a hard race.  On the girls side Erin Sullivan,   

Jr VT from the North has to be a favorite.  This is the year that Laura   

Heiner, Sr VA from the South has the potential to be the overall champion   

(this is her 4th time at this meet).  These are the individuals I feel   

have the opportunity to win it all based on past history.



I have included some past results from when the Footlocker first started   

to the present along with the top 3 finishers.  As you can see, the top   

finishers from the boys and girls are pretty familiar names in distance   

running today and in recent years.  I also have included the footlocker   

qualifiers from the North Region since 1990 and where they went to   

college.  I listed as many as I knew.  I would be interested in knowing   

where or what happened to the runners that I have missed (thanks in   

advance).  It can be seen that many of the runners from the North endup   

in the Northeast and South for the most part at very good Division 1   

schools and have contributed to the running programs at the schools.



There have been many exceptional runners who never made it to footlocker   

in high school but went on to college to do extremely well.  Anyway, here   

is the information.
