How many national XC titles did German win in high school?
Ritz was the better XC runner of the two, no question about it.
You ask that question as if it has any relevance. First of all, German only ran Footlocker 1 time. Secondly, he had a shoe issue mid-race (I think his shoe came off if I remember correctly). You kind of need your shoes to stay on in order to have a shot at winning when you are facing the top guys. But yes, Dathan was great.
It has plenty of relevance…but not to those that live in the land of woulda, coulda, shoulda, like you and some of these other posters.
Ritz was a 2x national champ and 8th as a sophomore. Fernandez took 3rd place once.
Slam dunk for Ritz.
