Ryan Hill, a Junior from Hickory HS, is ready to finish off his cross-country season on a high note at Foot Locker Nationals in San Diego.
As most know by now, Ryan\'s season has been stellar.
* Western North Carolina Cross Country Carnival champ
* South Carolina\'s Eye Opener Invitational champ
* Wendy\'s Invitational 3A Race champ with the fastest time of the day
* United Way Unifour Invitational Champ
* Conference champ
* 3A West Region champ
* 3A NCHSAA state champ
* Foot Locker South champ
* Broke Matt Debole\'s NC record at McAlpine Park running 14:46
So far this season, Ryan Hill is undefeated . . . can it stay that way? After running a 14:46 at McAlpine and beating 2 of the countries top runners in Ben Hubers and Girma Macheso, Georgia, some are giving him an outside chance.
Many runners on some of the national websites are saying, \"Who\'s Ryan Hill?\" Hopefully after this weekend they\'ll get their answer.
Ryan\'s goal at Foot Locker Nationals is simple, \"This weekend I just want to get some experience and try as hard as I can to win.\"
There is no doubt that Ryan will do his best to accomplish that goal.
\"I am feeling good going into my final week, not too nervous yet but I will probably be excited at the line on Saturday.\"
On behalf of the state, \"We wish you the best and know that we are all pulling for you!\"
