Reed Brown Wins Foot Locker Nationals

Reed Brown became the first Texas boy in over 30 years to win Foot Locker on Saturday morning. Brown, an Oregon commit, beat out future Wisconsin teammates Finn Gessner and Seth Hirsch with a perfectly timed last 600 meters. Hirsch and Gessner led most of the race, but Brown hammered down the last downhill and then closed out Gessner and Hirsch in the final straight.

Claudia Lane Wins Foot Locker Nationals

Claudia Lane, a sophomore from Malibu, California, won Foot Locker on Saturday morning in 17:05. She gapped the field less than 1200 meters into the race, going through a mile in 5:18 and two miles in 10:55 with a significant lead. But North Carolina's Nevada Mareno caught her with 1000 meters to go, and it looked like Mareno's superior track speed would win out. But Lane sprinted down the downhill with just over 800 to go, and showed a kick she hadn't had to use all year to put Mareno away. Mareno took second in 17:09.
