So I’m searching for info on the regional footlocker meets this year and I literally can’t find anything. I’m trying to find post season races (hopefully) and there is nothing out about the races this year. No official release saying they’re canceled and no where to find meet info/registration. Does anyone know anything about what’s going on with these races?
Two possibilities:
1. Most realistically, Footlocker is not happening this year and an announcement is coming in the next few weeks. Why? Too many states not having a high school XC season, too many states (including western region and championships location California) still with limits on the size of gatherings, and sponsors are worried about bad PR and legal fallout should someone get sick.
2. Very speculative based on some rumors - NB and Footlocker are trying to cobble together a combined individual and team championships since Nike canceled NXN. They are exploring costs, logistics, a possible championship venue change to a state like Florida or Texas, and any potential legal liability issues that could arise if things go sideways. They would love to steal Nike's thunder but, it might be too late to organize such a thing.
Let's Go!

99.9 percent chance of number 1 happening.
But it has nothing to do with states having sports. High schoolers travelled to other states this summer to run. Footlocker would be smart to hold the regionals in states that are wide open.
No way anything happens in CA
