Bergeron fades, finishes 7th at Foot Locker Nationals

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 15:00:26 GMT

The prestigious Foot Locker Nationals lived up to its pre-race billing as the most competitive cross country event in the country and Westford Academy’s Paul Bergeron made it a point to be right in the thick of things in his final schoolboy race.After finishing 15th last year, the two-time Div. 1 All-State champion’s goal was to go all in and garner a gold medal Saturday over the hilly, 3.1-mile layout at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA. The entire field was out fast at the gun and Bergeron, who will attend Stanford, was as high as fourth place, that position coming at the 2-mile, which he passed in 9:50 after a 4:45 opening mile.Bergeron ran hard over the hilly portions of the course and used his 8:51 2-mile speed on the final descent to take seventh at 15 minutes, 25.3 seconds. Bergeron qualified for the finals with an impressive third-place finish at the Northeast Regionals at Franklin Park two weeks ago.“It was a solid effort,” said Bergeron. “I felt p...

SIOUX CENTER, Iowa (AP) — A trio of Republican presidential candidates shared stories of family and faith before hundreds of voters in northwest Iowa on Saturday, in congenial individual conversations with their hosts not long after the campaign’s latest fractious debate. But off the stage at a small Christian college in Sioux Center, the rivals’ sharp edges reemerged.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy leaned on their families to drive home their origin stories, without other candidates interrupting, at the event held in a rural, conservative corner of a state that holds the leadoff contest on the election calendar in about a month.Later, DeSantis and Ramaswamy both went after Haley, a further sign that her opponents see her as a growing threat in the 2024 race where former President Donald Trump, who skipped the event, is the front-runner in polls of Republicans nationwide and Iowa, where the caucuses are set fo...
