Take a moment to read the inspirational story of Delaina Floden. I promise you won't find a more deserving candidate for "Most Improved Player" award.

From 33:41 in her first 3 mile race to 19:31 by the end of sophomore season...🤯

Hoffman Sectional results.

Delaina ran great, finishing 95th in the sectional. A satisfying end to a season of great improvement.

Nate went all out in a bid for state qualification and unfortunately was forced to withdraw from the race exhausted with 1/2 mi to go. No regrets!

[McHenry Cross Country @run_mchs]

Good luck to Delaina, Nate, and all the runners across Illinois chasing state dreams today!
