Boys-To-Men -- Foot Locker to NCAA's - Foot Locker National Cross Country Championships 2013Published by
Boys-To-Men Foot Locker to NCAA's
The list of Foot Locker National Champions reads like a who’s who list of modern American distance running.
In light of Edward ‘King’ Cheserek’s impressive feat this season of winning the D1 crown as a freshman, we thought it would be interesting to see how many, if any, of the other Foot Locker individual champions went on to be NCAA D1 individual champions like him.
Interestingly enough, so far no female that has won the Foot Locker title has gone on to win the other pinnacle, as a measure of success in one sense, winning the NCAA D1 trophy, though many have come close.
