Hi everyone! My name is Patrick Perrier and I am currently a junior at O’Fallon Township High School in O’Fallon, Illinois. Although the cross country season is starting to wrap up with only Nike Cross Nationals and Foot Locker Nationals as the remaining races, Milesplit has given me the honor to blog about my recent experience at the 2012 Foot Locker Midwest Regional. I placed 4th at this year’s meet with a new personal best 5k time of 15:03. As a result, I will be at this year’s Foot Locker National Meet in San Diego, California.

Nearly two miles in, the Foot Locker Midwest boys’ championship race Saturday in Kenosha was looking an awful lot like the girls’ affair that had preceded it. No, Michigan’s Nick Raymond isn’t a sophomore, like girls’ champion Anna Rohrer, and this wasn’t his first FL MW (he was 33rd last year). (Photo by Kane Baker)
