RE: SLOWEST FOOTLOCKER TIMES IN 15 YEARS. FOOTLOCKER RIP.

Yea, next thing you know the Nike employees will start wearing striped shirts around and selling fashion sneakers.

This is EXACTLY why what nike has done is inexcusable.

It's like having two watches on. You never really know what the correct time is.

Why do you say this? FL had the chance to go with the team concept, they did not and lost.

Speed Ratings:

NXN wins 28-30 using the top 7 from each race.

NXN wins!!

Wasn't last year about the slowest US mens championship 5000m that ever occurred? We all lose.

I see on Athletic.net that Grant Fisher's 2 mile PR is 9:04. If that is correct, when is the last time that a FL winner had such a slow 2 mile PR?

I wonder who's behind these anti-FL posts: Nike or just a mentally challenged individual? I hope you realize that changing your name a bunch of times doesn't fool anyone when you still write like a crazy person.

It's the only thing they're good at.

NXN is a lot like Freedom Works and Americans for Prosperity. If you throw a lot of money at something, people will start believing even when the results do not benefit them.

What exactly did they lose, the chance to look like a bunch of vindictive poor sports.

Footlocker has always had a team championship.

I'm curious to know when they had the chance, or are you just talking hypothetically?

He's a mid distance guy. Not many footlocker champs ran 3:50 for 1500m their spring season

I understand that, but FL is a 5000m

Let me try:

2012 Cheserek 8:42

2011 Cheserek 8:42

2010 LV 8:53

2009 LV 8:53

2008 Haile ????

2007 Fout 8:58

2006 C. Hall 9:01

2005 Acosta ??

2004 Cormier ??

2003 Withrow ??

2002 Solinsky 8:51

2001 Moore 9:03

2000 Ritz 8:41 (3200)

1999 Ritz 8:58 (3200)

So maybe Haile, Acosta, Cormier or Withrow

...anyway, Wilmot, NXN champion (the national champion) has a 2 mile PR of 9:00 and he beat the guy with the fastest 2 mile PR in HS (Haney)...

Hahahahahaha. Good one with the "national champion" thing.The 39th place finisher at FLN has an 8:53 3200 PR. So times from the previous spring- especially for the sophomore-to-junior transition- don't mean much.3:50 1500m as a sophomore and strength to win in San Diego are all you need to know.

Wilmot ran 8:57 (or was it 8:56) his soph year.

He ran 8:57 at 3,200 as a Soph (so I gave the dinettes time)

To the guy that mentioned that there is no correlation between 2 mile PRs at FL. The list above sort of invalidates that statement. Cheserek, LV, Solinsky... They were all pretty good at 2 miles... Indeed the fastest 2 mile runner does not always win (Hanry is a striking example), but, it is a very good indication...

RIP in peace footlocker

^^^^that's just sad... I guess only the idiots think footlocker is dead.

Totally disagree!!! Been to both with athletes and FL is by far the best for individuals and by far the best course (except the Orlando course) Balboa is a great XC course.

The races today were excellent at FL.
