It was an epic battle between Leo Daschbach vs Nico Young at the recent Desert Twilight Invitational in Arizona. But how would national elite titans fair in a championship race on the fabled Detweiller course? We took some time with the help of speed ratings to hypothesize who in the latest rankings have the best opportunity to challenge the legendary Craig Virgin's course record 13:50.6.
Former Naperville North superstar Judy Pendergast holds the girls course record at 15:53.8. She was the first one to break 16:00 and it happened at Detweiller. Katelynne Hart of Glenbard West ran 15:59 last year and will have one more crack at Pendergast's all-time record next month.
