Nike Portland XC Invitational
“After posting a career-best qualitative showing at Nike Portland XC in the early season, Conor Lott’s return to the Rose City for Nike Cross Nationals months later netted his most humbling outing of the year. Yet, the aftermath of that adversity spoke volumes about his character and resilience as he rebounded days later to deliver his best performance ever at Brooks Nationals. An excellent team leader, he’s a quality student-athlete to the core.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-9, 145-pound senior won his second straight CIF Division I state title this past season, breaking the tape with a Central Section record time of 14:43.2 to become the state’s fifth multi-time Division I champion in prep history. Lott, the lone California male to compete at both premier national championship meets, earned Second Team All-American honors by finishing seventh at the Brooks Cross Country Championships. He broke the tape at the prestigious Nike Portland XC Invitational, and was also the top California finisher at Nike Cross Nationals, where he took 26th. 

Academic Achievement

Lott has maintained a weighted 4.29 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a written letter of athletic aid to run at Georgetown University this fall.

Exemplary Character

A member of his school’s Athletic Leadership Council and Vice President of the River Alive Club on campus, Lott has volunteered locally with the Pinedale/Fig Garden Rotary Food Delivery Program. He has also donated his time mentoring younger runners at the Run Like A Champion cross country camp.
