Chris Derrick (born October 17, 1990) is an American distance runner, who attended Stanford University and is a former American junior record holder in the 5000 meters.

High school

As a member of the high school class of 2008, Derrick has traded victories with former American high school record holder in the two-mile, German Fernandez. As a high school senior at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, Illinois, Derrick gained recognition when he won the Illinois state cross country championship and set the course record on the altered Detweiller Park course, possibly eclipsing the time that Craig Virgin (the only American to ever win at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships) ran on the original course.[1] Derrick concluded his senior cross country season by capturing both a team and individual victory at the Nike Cross Nationals competition, followed a week later by a second-place finish at the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships. During track season, at the Arcadia Invitational Derrick ran a 13:55 in the 5000m, the fastest time run by an American high school student in a high school-only race.[2][3] Derrick received the inaugural Gatorade National Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year award in partnership with ESPN RISE Magazine following his 2007 season.[4]
