Foot Locker Nationals: Mt. Spokane junior Kade Brownell placed 38th with a time of 16 minutes, 15.6 seconds at the boys Foot Locker Nationals XC race at Morley Field at Balboa Park in San Diego.
"The Foot Locker championship experience has been pretty good. They treat us like royalty here and I would definitely like to come back again," Brownell said. "As for the race itself, it was a lot harder than I expected. Being from Spokane, the heat was a shock to my body, so I didn't perform as well as I would have liked. But it was a great experience ... great to meet these super cool people and race against the best in the nation."
Brownell finished eighth last week at the West Regional to qualify.
