There are probably quite a few. Those who end up being unable to play soccer due to a lack of skills can often be very successful runners because no skill is needed.

(Almost) all of them.
Bob ran a 4:20 mile
Jessica Pixler of SPU/CU was a soccer player in HS while a big name in WA 4A track and XC. She then went to D2 SPU in seattle and played soccer her first year or two being a dominant D2 runner, eventually winning 12 NCAA titles and running 2:04/4:11/15:18
Back in the late 1990s when Footlocker was still in Florida, I think Footlocker was won by a girl who had also played soccer in high school. I think she did both sports for several years, and I think she stopped playing soccer her senior year to focus on XC but I'm not sure.
I think someone already mentioned this year's FL winner (Sydney Masciarelli).

I give it my best no matter what I am engaged in. I want my younger teammates to not only remember me for my skills and accolades, but my relentless dedication to being a good student and having an A in character.
