Has there ever been two Footlocker Finalists from the same school at the same time? We were hoping it would happen with our school this year but one of them had a run that was like a dump. Ever happened?

Um... ever heard of the Torres brothers (one of the few times they let a tie for the last spot advance).
Marshfield, MA just missed in 2011

Never heard of them. Guess they weren't that good. I was more interested in kids that may go D1 not D2.
Virginia Hine and Rita Jorgensen of White Station High School (Memphis, TN) both ran at FL Nationals in 2006. I believe Kathy Kroeger of Independence High School (also Tennessee) won that same year.
Kaltenbachs? Lawrences? There must be loads.
Saratoga sent 4 one year.
Ritz and Jason Hartmann

That's nice, but they asked about Finalists from the same school.
Kingwood TX had 3 guys. Think might’ve done that twice.
Taye brothers in 2005.
1987 Sisters Susan and Sarah Bliss qualified from Francis Howell, a Missouri School.
Smoky Hill sent three one year, and two on a couple of other occasions.

Yes. Saratoga HS from NY sent 4 back in 2004. Pretty unbeatable.

That year was sick. Possibly the best HS CC team of all time.
Two from Loudoun Valley High School, Purcellville, VA, in 2014:
Drew Hunter (junior)
Ciara Donohue (senior).
The Mastalir twins did it in the 80s, I think.
This year, Riverton (UT) sent two athletes as individuals to NXN. Not FL but debatably harder to send them as individuals.
As others have pointed out, the Saratoga Springs (NY) girls team sent 4 back in 2004, and none of them were seniors. In 2005 those same 4 made it a second time. From what I can tell, none of them are related.
As you've seen, it's actually not that uncommon for a school to send multiple athletes. However, the majority of the time when it happens, siblings are involved. That's another reason that Saratoga team is so unbelievable.
