FL Final, Tamagno or Hunter...

The Week That Was....

Our 2014 Foot Locker Previews Might Not Take So Long/The First Father-Son Duo in Foot Locker History

Next week, we’ll spend some time working on our research so we can properly preview the 2014 Foot Locker Championships – the race that generally crowns the best high school harriers in the country. Our research may go quicker than normal as the victors in the three regionals held last week were all very dominant.

South: Andrew Hunger (18 seconds), Ryen Frazier (20 seconds)

Apparently this thread should have been titled:

FL Final, Tamagno or Hunger...

-- -- -- -- --

Tamagno is a lock as German Fernandez was when he qualified for FL finals.

Tamagno > Hunter

Hunter hasn't been pushed AT ALL this season, yet still ran under 15 minutes four times this season. He is a big meet competitor. Watch his Penn Relays race if you have Flotrack pro if you don't believe me- I don't think anyone would have predicted he could have risen to that level of competition and yet he did. It would not surprise me if he won the whole thing, never mind being the top junior.

The course at mt. Sac will be less than ideal for regionals. There has been a considerable amount of rain dumped on it this week and expect more during race day. There should be some unexpected results.

They didn't use the rain course last year at FL. I know they've used the rain course at the Mt. SAC invitational, but have they really used it for FL?

Does FL allow spikes at the regional race? I know spikes are not allowed in high school races in CA, but are rules at FL different?

There hasn't been that much rain. I think they should use the regular course.

The rain course was used in 2007. German Fernandez and Jordan Hasay won that year.

Yea there is that no name unknown apparition,,,,,from some ghost town in Utah. Don't know his name or if he even has one.

Haha, it must be pooling there.

However, it's only water. I've run races through ocean surf. I think the course will be okay as long as it's runable, and not flooded or too muddy to run.

Rain, mud and still affected by flu...

It's a Lock!

FL Finals: Tamagno & Hunter not only going to try to win but in the process, settling who's top Junior!

Good for Tamagno! Didn't realize he was sick. Footlocker is going to be crazy good!
