In San Diego!
Adam Dailey competed in the 1993 Foot Locker Championships in San Diego. He would qualify a year later with his girlfriend, Jessica Koch, for the 1994 Championships. The next year, as a HS senior, Jessica would win Foot Locker South and earn another trip to San Diego.
The Daileys would go off to become All-Americans at the University of Arkansas together and eventually they’d get married, settle and put down roots in San Diego. Little did they know their experience with Cross Country Nationals in San Diego was far from over!
In 2023, Chiara won the Foot Locker West Regional by almost 100 meters. She had an off day the next weekend in San Diego at nationals, but was still able to earn All-American honors by placing 11th overall in the nation.
Last year Chiara was sick and unable to finish at Morley Field.
Fast forward to December 13, 2025.
REDEMPTION
Chiara is back in San Diego for a third straight year and is geared to vie for a national title, exactly 31 years after both of her parents competed at Foot Locker together.
Adam’s vision the past couple years is to engulf the entire course with yellow Chiara shirts. He was inspired by hearing stories of Marc Davis’ victory in 1986 who was a San Diego high standout runner.
Time
