Footlocker 2006 is one of the best finishes ever in my opinion. These guys were studs. Also interesting to watch Centrowitz fall back in this race. I know Forys and Centrowitz finished senior year strong with that 8:40 2 mile

Don’t think Steve Murdock ended up doing anything. Tebo I remember ended up running a decent 5k time, but nothing quite national class if I recall. Chad Hall did nothing. Forys had a solid career. Off the top of my head I’m thinking 8:24 steeple and 13:28 5k or something along those lines, plus a couple all American honors in the steeple.
Steve Murdock was an Adidas sponsored athlete for a couple of years in San Diego around 2011-2012. He won a lot of the local races in those years and then moved to the Bay area around 2013-2014. I believe he now is a special ed teacher in SF and still runs recreationally.
It is fun to go through these lists and see who got much better in college and who stagnated. Most of the names that show up in college are also in footlocker (or NXN) but it isn't clear if being in the top 5 is more likely to result in future success than being like top 20.
Once Murdock left the Kranicks he was toast , Truth to power ??
Chad Hall is now a pretty successful endurance mountain biker, which is interesting. Has been top 10 twice in the Leadville 100 (MTB).
As for forys -

'Forys said teaching kindergarten and first grade wasn't part of his original plan, but it's worked out great for him.'
Thanks for sharing. This race is great. Murdoch and Hall grimacing down the final stretch. I swear Ryan Hall flashed on camera a couple times cheering on his brother. Back when all the best showed up at Footlocker and we didn't have the split national championships!
Speaking of disappearing , no one vanished quicker than Aurora Scott . Googled her and saw she had a mediocre year d3 then vanished .
whatever happened to Matthew Centrowitz?
