Only athletes in 18 out of 50 states have the opportunity to compete at both Nike Cross Nationals and Foot Locker Nationals. Athletes in the other 32 states are forced to choose between the two national championships because most of the regional meets are on the same day! Is there any way to get the nation's best athletes to both meets?
