Footlocker has to change the qualifying schedule to allow West athletes to run both NXN and Footlocker. Both are diluted (currently mostly Footlocker) because the Footlocker West qualifying race is the same day as the NXN final race. I think one other region is in the same situation.
Sadie Engelhardt would love the opportunity to do both.
Sadie Engelhardt was invited to participate in the Foot Locker National race. And she accepted that invitation. But after NXN she was too worn out and she decided not to run Foot Locker after all.
Foot Locker is not considering changing the date of their West Regional race, but as of this year they are now open to extending invitations to some of the top runners in the country.
