Chris Godwin Blog - My Foot Locker Experience
Published by
Ever since I heard about the prestigious race known as Foot Locker Nationals, I wished that I could one day race on the hilly course against the top runners in the nation. I came into my senior year with a 15:33 and had a lot of time that needed to be dropped. I knew that by the time South Regionals came around I would need to be as close to breaking 15:00 as possible, and a 15:10 did the trick along with one drop out. I had never been to California but it far exceeded my expectations. I ran against the fastest kids in the nation and gave it my all. I had an amazing time meeting and hanging out with the other runners; they treated me like family and helped me out with any questions I had. I brought a lot home with me from my trip to Nationals, but I mainly brought back an unforgettable memory of the greatest race I have run so far. Every high school runner should strive to run in the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships and prove their abilities. I am grateful for my opportunity and everyone who supported me throughout the years. I can't think of a better way to end my senior year of Cross Country. Go South Team! |
