Hoka One One, a division of Deckers Brands, revealed the winners of the second annual Hoka One One Postal Nationals.
The boys of Brentwood High School in Nashville, TN and the girls of Cardinal Gibbons High School in Raleigh, NC won the overall championships with the fastest team times in the two-mile run.
With more than 1,500 teams registered, the 2016 Hoka One One Postal Nationals produced the largest and most competitive competition in the event’s history.
“We’re excited about the tremendous growth of teams and participants in just our second season of the Hoka One One Postal Nationals,” said Hoka One One Senior Sports Marketing Manager Mike McManus. “This event is well on its way to becoming the premier high school cross country competition in the nation.”
The Cardinal Gibbons girls achieved their nation-leading performance at the 2016 Hoka One One Postal Nationals Southeast Flagship event held in Winston-Salem, NC. In an incredible team effort, the top five girls posted an 11:12 average two-mile time.
It took an astounding 9:18 two-mile average for the Brentwood boys to narrowly unseat the 9:20 average by 2015 champions Woodlands High School in Woodlands, TX.
Reviving a tradition from the 1970s, the Hoka One One Postal Nationals empowers high school cross-country teams from every state to compete against each other in a timed two-mile race on the track. To receive a ranking, teams average and then submit the time of their top five finishers. Hoka One One’s Postal Nationals provides an open format, where every team in the country gets the chance to compete to be crowned national champions.
