Plainfield, IL

With Weather being quite chilly on a dreary Saturday morning, many fans probably wondered how times would fair at a not always fast Hammel Woods. The forest preserve provided a venue with many previous all-state boy runners never breaking the 15:00 barrier on it. However, we were able to witness but it proved to show some fast performances across the board.

Bolingbrook senior Tyler Cushing led the boy's race from the gun while being closely trailed by Lockport's Jacob Hinchley coming through the mile at 4:52. The pace started to get to Hinchley as he dropped back and it was all Cushing who came through then at 10:06 and 15:11 for the 2nd mile and finish. The team battle was close as two points separated Sandburg's B team with a score of 52 points and Plainfield North who scored 54 points.
