Eric Coston Earns First Alternate Spot At Footlocker South

Eric Coston has a chance to be the third LA athlete of all-time to run at the prestigious Footlocker Naitonals in San Diego in two weeks.  He finished in 15:25 for 11th place at the Footlocker South region this morning, one spot out of the automatic qualifying top 10 positions.  Should one of the runners ahead of him drop out, he would be the first alternate.


Regardless, Eric will return as one of the favorites for Footlocker South next year as he will be the 4th non-senior, and possibly one of the top recruits in the country by that point.

Other runners who raced include Angelle Primeaux of Lafayette who ran 20:19 for 133rd place.  Primeaux is only a sophomore.  Jeffery Kelley of Catholic High ran 15:56 for 35th place.
