Our Foot Locker Championships Experience

Parents, Coaches, fans, and most importantly over 30 runners from schools all over Carroll County loaded onto a bus and headed up to New York for the Foot Locker Cross Country Experience. Here is what some of them had to say about their trip:

 

"The Foot Locker classic elite race gave me the chance to run against the best runners in the Northeastern region. I learned a lot and it exposed me to runners I will be up against in college. This race gave me the chance to end the cross country season on a good note after my disappointing finish at states."

" One of my most memorable running moments. It's great just to spend a weekend with the team, hanging out and then doing what we do best.run. I believe that everyone ran with a lot of heart and had fun time doing it. Footlocker only comes once a year and each year is better than the last. We make the best of every year. I recommend this running weekend to anyone and everyone, athletes and parents alike."

"The best part about New York were the people that went. Though the race was cool, being there with my friends was what made it so much fun. We had a blast in the city and on our 'girls floor'. I'm sad because that was the first and only time I could go."

"For me, footlocker was an awesome experience. Just hangin out with the other runners and getting to know the runners from other schools that came with us was great. I definitely want to come again next year and improve my time from this year."

The Foot Locker Cross Country Race was a wonderful experience for the following reasons.
1. The trip was well planned, well organized, well run, and well chaperoned. Thank you Rogue Runners.
2.The event was well planned and executed.
3. I would like my whole team to go next year, because it was an eye opening experience. Runners were able to compare themselves against national competition.
4. Most importantly this event gave me the opportunity to spend some time with my daughter. I doubt that she will ever forget her first trip to a Broadway Show.

"I had so much fun at Footlocker. It was great to go with my friends and the best part was going into the city with them. Our girls team is so close and this trip was an awesome way to end my senior year. The race atmosphere was awesome too, it was so cool to watch all those amazing runners. I also had a fun time running in the junior race with K-rod. I strongly encourage anyone to go who has the opportunity, and I guarantee you will have an amazing time."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to New York to run at Footlocker, especially the late nights of poker and discussions of serial killers in our room. The run itself was also fun and the course was very nice. Overall Grade: A"
