Who do you WANT to see win Footlocker?

Allie Ostrander for sure because she's cute and fast and my future wife so

If you like em young..She looks like she's a pre-teen, maybe 13ish.

I want to see how the West shakes out...

I also want to see Connor Mantz win.

The following are correct.

Whom do you want to see win. (The subject of the sentence is you. The object is the runner.)

I want to see him win.

OR

Who is the runner that you want to see win. (The subject is now 'who')

He is the runner I want to see win.

But really, I don't think it's a big deal to get this wrong, unless you yourself are correcting people.

It's funny because you misspelled "Conner."

But really, I want him to win. First he has to qualify, though.

I bet Mantz will get 7th in the west region then get in the mid-teens at nationals. I'd love to see him win too but FLW and FL are incredibly deep.

Maybe I'm talking about a different guy with a similar sounding name?

Ok, I'm not.

Reppin' the SOL ftw

California has a huge advantage having their state meet so late. Some kids in the midwest have their state meet 4-5 weeks before the regional and 6-7 weeks before nationals. That's ridiculous. Of course, having great weather to train in right up to FLW/FLN also helps (as opposed to trying to get good workouts in in 20 degree weather, snow, etc. like parts of the midwest have had already).

Yeah right, it's a huge advantage to have 4 weekends in a row of high-end racing? How dumb are you?

And you think CA kids are at a big advantage to train in weather and on courses that are nothing like what they'll see at Nationals?

CA is at a huge disadvantage when it comes to NXN. They are overraced and not accustomed to racing on "real" XC courses.

I never said anything about NXN.Three weekends in a row (state meet, FLW, FLN) of "high end" racing is perfect. July-Aug-Sep-Oct-1st half of Nov, all to train for the 3 weeks that matter.

Without a doubt, if Fisher toes the line healthy, he will be the National champ again. The kid is money...incredibly fast, intelligent, a true "racer," and he has guts. He does not race for time, he simply races the competition. He races to win! Grant Fisher...the kid is amazing, all around great young man.
