With the 14th Annual Downers Grove South Mustang Relays coming a week earlier due to host North Central College hosting the D3 College National Championship, it means the annual assault on the ranking leaderboards will... umm, come a week earlier than normal. Though the season is young in Illinois there is not a single relay girls or boys ranked among the top 50 nationally. That should change after Monday evening. Expect some major fireworks from many of the state's biggest players and playettes.
