5 of the top 20 girls, 4 of top 11 boys in footlocker '05 ended up at oregon (not counting blood)

I think that "not counting" Nicole Blood basically proves your whole point senseless. She's one of, if not the, best runner on the team, and she's outperforming runners who beat her by quite a bit in high school. Footlocker success doesn't mean success in college.

wetsch and sammons I swear haven't competed since their freshman year it seems. Injuries and such happen, just because someone was a footlocker performer doesn't necessarily mean they will be successful throughout college

AJ Acosta was a FL champion? Why does he suck so badly now?

See above quote..... FL success/failure doesn't translate all the time....

Show me where the average FL finalist ends up in the NCAA relative to their place at FL nationals, and then compare that average against how these runners have done. Then, we'll talk.

That's o.k. I guess, for HS kiddies ;-) How many will medal at the Olympics / IAAF Outdoors and/or win a Major ? Let us know when that happens. Then it would be something of note.

All of these runners from footlocker 2005 are/were on the roster at Wisconsin. Success in high school doesnt always mean succes in college. Some runners make the jump and some fade into obscurity
