1999 Foot Locker Finals

Quotes from Post-Race Interviews

1. Victoria Chang

"I almost didn't come to Foot Locker.  I only registered at the last minute because my teammates were going."

"It is hard to train in Hawaii - no hills, no grass courses.  We run mostly on concrete.  It was harder for me this year because I didn't have Ari (McDonald) to train with.  There was no competition this year.  

"Running at Mt. SAC last week helped me.  I learned a lot from that race."

2. Victoria Jackson

"I started at the back and worked my way up.  I went to the lead without really trying to -- my momentum just carried me into the lead.  Then I tried to ignore the track and let my mind go blank."

"When Guliford went by me, I still felt relaxed, and I felt I could stay with her."

"When Chang came up to me, the crowd started screaming, 'Go Victoria,' and I knew they didn't mean me."
