Flotrack's Best of 2011 - Contributor of the Year!

You may have noticed our leader board on the homepage, a new section we started this year to highlight the people in the community that have contributed great content to Flotrack for you to see. Its been awesome to see all the great content that continues to come in and highlight the sport we all love.

This year, one man stood above the rest and that man was Mr. James Roach. James, who lives in Auburn, Washington, has become the Northwest Kingpin! James has been contributing to Flotrack for a few years now and is responsible for almost every race in the Dempsey that you have seen. James was part of the first live broadcast at the USATF XC Championships in 2009. This year he made major contributions to the adidas Golden Stripes series, the Brooks PR Invite and the Drake Relays! 

Over the past year James Roach uploaded a ridiculous 1,118 videos to Flotrack! He also uploaded nearly 200 photos and keep the site moving with over 100 comments to content. He racked up 11,590 points on the leader board for the year and his videos received over 420,000 pageviews!! (points are accumulated through uploading videos, articles, blogs, photos, commenting on content and updating your running logs)

James is also a high school coach at Thomas Jefferson High School, a member of the South Puget Sound League in Washington. One of the most impressive contributions he made was for his team as he documented there whole cross country season on a Flotrack event page with over 50 videos that included races, awards, highlights, links and more! Its the first time we've seen a coach use Flotrack to capture a team's season in this way and it was awesome. Check out the Thomas Jefferson XC Page.

We'd like to thanks James and all the people that have contributed to Flotrack in 2011, you all continue to help make Flotrack the site that it is! If you have questions about contributing or covering your team feel free to shoot us a message, we'd be glad to help get you going.

Thanks again for a great 2011 and can't wait for what's to come in 2012!
