FOOT LOCKER WEST RESULTS
Foot Locker West boys
 Nurani
Sheikh - from Salt Lake City via Somalia,
Yemen, and Kenya - shocked the best runners from the West by
winning the Foot Locker West regional at Mt. San Antonio College,
Walnut CA. Third in the Utah State Meet way back on October
17, Sheikh signalled his readiness by winning the Utah meet
of champions on November 10. But no one paid attention until
he swept past Bill Nelson coming off Reservoir Hill in the last
800 meters to win by 7 seconds in 15:25. Story

Amber Trotter
In the Foot Locker West girls race,
Ukiah CA sr Amber Trotter toyed with this field as she has in
every race this season to win by 43 seconds over Felicia Guliford,
17:14 to 17:57. Trotter bolted to daylight in the first 100
meters and had a 20 second lead after a first mile in 5:08,
effectively ending the contest. Story

FL finalist in auto accident
Northeast region Foot Locker finalist Andy Weilacher of PA
was seriously injured in an auto accident Thursday 11/29 near his
home, along with teammate Matthew Allenson. Weilacher apparently
has damage to two vertebrae, but no spinal cord damage. He also
sustained a head bruise. Weilacher has begun physical therapy, and
is hoping for a full recovery. Allenson has sustained a spinal cord
injury, but the extent of that injury has not been released. Foot
Locker has announced that Weilacher will not be able to run in the
finals at Disney World Dec. 8, and Brendan Sullivan NY will take
his place.

Championships and the USATF Junior Nationals was removed today at
the USATF convention. AOC will be held June 14-15 at Raleigh and
Jr Nationals will be held June 21-22 at Stanford University. The

About
those fast times in the South - The top
8 boys in the Foot Locker South regional all beat the pre-Webb record
at McAlpine and 11 girls were under 18 minutes, the most ever in
this regional. The South regional produced 8 of the top 12 times
in the US for the entire season on the DyeStat
XC Leader List. Was the course short? Has the South risen again?
