As the state on Minnesota eagerly awaits what promises to be an excitement-filled competition at Nike Cross Nationals on December 2nd, with spotlights on many teams and athletes from the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes, the more selective and equally-prestigious Foot Locker competition is also around the bend. Tomorrow, the best runners in the Midwest will be gathering at the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, and Minnesota will again have some elite representation. While the championship race will be limited to athletes in grades 9-12 (meaning 7th-grade NXN-qualifier Lauren Ping will be running in the open race instead), all of Minnesota's other Flo50-ranked girls (Emily Covert, Anna Fenske, Grace Ping, and Tierney Wolfgram) will be gunning for the San Diego competition in two weeks, as will returning Foot Locker Nationals qualifier Lauren Peterson. Some of Minnesota's other top talents will also be giving it a shot, including Willmar's Heidi Schmitz, Henry Sibley's Myles Fleming, Chanhassen's Nick Scheller, LQPV's Keiser Freetly, and GNK's freshman superstar Geno Uhrbom.
