Girls Foot Locker All-Time Rankings
Girls Foot Locker All-Time Rankings
Who is the greatest Foot Locker athlete of all-time? Better yet who are the top 14 Foot Locker athletes of all-time AND in what order!
Time for me to rank the unrankable as I compare past and present generations to see who were the best Foot Locker athletes in the 37 year history of the defacto high school cross country national championship.
Ranking 35+ years of high school cross country can be daunting so I set up some guidelines/criteria to help generate the best 14 Foot Locker runners of all-time.
Rankings Guidelines:
1) Must have one a Foot Locker title
2) College/Pro/Track career ignored
3) NXN ignored
4) Winning more than once helps.
5) Qualifying as an underclassmen helps
6) Beating an eventual Foot Locker Champ helps.
7) Winning during a deep year helps.
