Sandburg XC crew is all smiles after winning another NXN MW title (Colin Boyle photo)
Sandburg has a chance to do something special-
Ever since losing the state championship they thought was rightfully theirs in 2014, the Eagles have been on a rampage. After a super track season last spring, Sandburg has been nothing short of excellent in smashing everyone and everything in its path like a deranged tornado. The team from the southwest suburbs of Chicago is the number one team in the country depending on who you talk to. After finally winning their first state championship, the Sandburg XC Club repeated as NXN MW champions to secure their spot to Portland. Last year in Portland, the starry eyed bunch from Orland Park finished a disappointing 15th. This time around they want at very least a top three spot and a trophy to bring back home.
