2013 Foot Locker Nationals champion Grant Fisher is back to defend his title, but ill likely get a late start to this season after racing until end of July for the World Junior Championships in the 1500 meter run. As a junior, Fisher won the Foot Locker Midwest Regional in his 15:02 5K PR last fall before taking the win at Balboa Park for the national title in 15:06.
