The 45th Annual Pat Savage Invitational continues to go strong... even after the legendary Niles West coach Pat Savage had moved to coach at his alma mater Depaul University. Mr. Savage coached the Wolves from 1969-2002. Of course, Mr. Savage was in attendance and milling around the meet that bears his name sake.
The "Season's Change" theme so famously brought into focus on the Spikes and Flats web show powered by MileSplit Illinois was incredibly appropriate this morning. It was downright windy and unseasonably cold today at Niles West High School. Although the air temperature said 53F when the varsity races started, the real feel was really in the 30's. Whatever the deal was, it was time to get accustomed to real cross country climes a month early.
