On Episode 139 of TheFinalSprint.com Podcast, the most listened to running podcast in North America, I had the pleasure of being joined by Chris Derrick of Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, Illinois. In January, Derrick was named the 2007-2008 Gatorade National Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year. Derrick became the first student-athlete to win the award since The Gatorade Company announced the addition of boys cross country to the Player of the Year program this past October.
Derrick finished second behind TFS Elite Athlete Blogger Michael Fout at the national Foot Locker Cross Country Championships and most recently he ran the fastest 5k ever (13:55:96) in a high school at the Arcadia Invitational.
