Foot Locker Cross Country Chapionships National Finals 1999

Orlando, FL
The boys race was dominated by a close, tight pack until Midwest Regional champion Dathan Ritzenhein, a junior at Rockford High School, broke away in the last half-mile to win the race in 14:29, breaking the course record by 47 seconds. In an unprecedented finish, the top 16 boys in the race beat the course record of 15:16.4 held by 1998 Foot Locker Cross Country Championships National champion Jorge Torres of Wheeling, IL. In the girls race, the competition was fierce with the lead changing hands several times throughout the race. Victoria Chang of Honolulu, HI claimed the lead with only 400 meters remaining and went on to win the race in 17:05, 17 seconds faster than the course record which was held by 1998 National champion Erin Sullivan of Jericho, VT.
