0:00.0	Before we hop into today's episode of the Call Room Rising Stars Edition, a quick note that today's
0:07.7	episode is presented by Hoka. Over the years growing up, the Foot Locker National Cross
0:12.4	Country Championships were always on my calendar to watch. And even as I was planning this whole
0:17.5	project, the Call Room Rising Stars Edition, and was talking to my mom on the phone,
0:21.1	she immediately knew what the Foot Locker National Cross Country Championships were, despite not
0:25.6	following the sport at all. And she remembered because I would watch it every single year and
0:30.3	get so excited to watch the races. The road to the national meets starts with the four regional
0:35.1	meets of the West, Midwest, Northeast, and South
0:37.6	regions. The experience that comes with trying to qualify for the most prestigious
0:41.3	national meet in the high school cross-country season is like none other. In fact, if I have
0:46.3	one regret looking back in high school, I highly regret not running the Foot Locker regional meet.
0:52.2	I was in the Midwest region, so it would have been in Kenosha,
0:54.9	Wisconsin. And to this day, I regret not racing it. So don't be like Dominic. Whether you're
0:59.3	trying to compete to make the National Meat or not, I certainly was not. The Foot Locker Regional
1:03.4	Meets have many divisions, including the Freshman, sophomore division, and Open Division,
1:07.6	so that you can race with other high schoolers of your ability to close out
1:11.0	your season on a high note. Come and race with Hoka at your regional meet. You guys can find more
1:15.7	info at footlockerCC.com or in the show notes where you guys can read more about the meets,
1:22.2	find more information, and hopefully sign up. I hope to see you at one of these regional meets
1:26.5	as you guys look to close
1:28.3	out your season or even potentially try and make the Foot Locker National Championship meet.
1:38.8	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Call Room Rising Stars edition.
