And sadly the Oregon Duck athletes weren't allowed to talk to the media.

The nation's top runner (Casey Clinger) may have been at NXN, but Foot Lockers is still loaded. Four of the top six boys from NXN will be there, plus undefeated FL NE champ Noah Affolder (Carlisle, PA) and Finn Gessner of Madison, WI (11th at '15 FL finals), which makes for a deep, unpredictable race.

For the first time ever, a boy repeated as NXN champ. Clinger is the individual champ once again but his dream of a perfect day that included both individual and team titles was denied.
