She'll also be the only 3-time national champion. A slew of people have won
Presumably, had you completed this thought or returned to see that you hadn't and consequently edited the post, you would have added the word "two" or perhaps "two Foot Locker national championships" and a period after what's there now. Also, I don't know if eight qualifies as "a slew," and you could have just looked up the total in 38.7 seconds of Googling, but whatever.
This isn't to take anything away from Baxter, but because there have been two separate races to determine national high-school XC champions since 2004, saying that she has won two and could become the first athlete to win three tells an incomplete story. A person aware of Baxter's exploits bit otherwise naive about the sport might assume upon hearing that Molly Seidel and Anna Rohrer were national XC champions in 2011 and 2012 respectively that he was being lied to. This is all the more important given that NXN was conceived chiefly as a way to determine a national team champion, not an individual one.
So, I think it's more on target to say that Baxter is the only two-time NXN champion and has a chance to become the first three-time NXN or Foot Locker/Kinney champion.
