What a week for distance in Illinois. We had a 4:53 mile, a 2:03 800….for the first 800 of a 1600. Grant and Patrick traveled to Florida, Glenbard West girls had three winners in three events. We saw a 9:22 and a sub 8. Wow. Since all of the meets that these occurred at (FSU Relays and ITT) I won’t go in depth event-by-event. However, I will point you towards Tony Jones’s amazing recaps and an article about the Illinois boys at FSU.
