TOP HIGH SCHOOL RUNNERS TO COMPETE IN FOOT LOCKER REGIONAL MEET

Nov 28, 2018

November 28, 2018—This Saturday, December 1st, will be a big day for high school runners from the Spokane area, as the region’s top harriers will be competing in the Foot Locker West Regional Cross Country Championships at Mt. San Antonio College (Mt. SAC) in southern California, racing against their counterparts from eleven other Western States as well as U.S. citizens in overseas military installations.

 

The Spokane contingent at the West Regional meet—one of four Foot Locker regional competitions held across the country—is led by Ryan Kline of Central Valley and Allie Janke of North Central. Kline finished 5th in the Men’s 4A Division of the Washington State High School Cross Country Championships on November 3rd, and Janke was the Women’s 3A State Champion.

 

The top ten male and female runners at the West Regional meet will advance to the Foot Locker Cross Country Nationals in San Diego on December 8th, joining top qualifiers from the Northeast, South and Midwest. Last year Katie Thronson of Lewis & Clark and Turlan Morlan of Gonzaga Prep qualified for the meet, thereby becoming the 28th & 29th Spokane area runners to qualify for the Foot Locker National Meet since its inception in 1979. Thronson finished 19rd at the National Meet and Morlan 37th in the field of 40 national competitors.

 

“The Spokane area has a long and storied history of distance running, as evidenced every year by the success of local runners who compete at the high school level,” said Bloomsday Race Director Don Kardong. “Bloomsday is proud to recognize their achievements by sponsoring this trip to Foot Locker, where Spokane’s finest high school runners can test their mettle against the best from the West.”
