It doesn't get much better than Cross Country at KLM in October. @runHCXC hosts the 3A regional tomorrow - boys at 9:00, girls at 10:00, followed by Hinsdale South hosting the 2A regional - girls at 11:00, boys at noon. And we'll be back a week later for Sectionals!
I recommend everyone watch the video of heat 12. Every kid in that heat was trying to break 5 for the first time.
196 kids toed the line last night and 159 of them ran PRs. 20 kids broke 5 for the first time in their lives. "Electric" doesn't begin to describe it.
All races, interviews from @_IL_Top_Times can be found in the link below. Wish I could have talked more...my voice is somewhere on I-55 right now. Big thanks to Randy Anderson and the meet management along with Illinois Wesleyan for a great weekend.
