Sophia McNerney (Jr., Downers Grove South)
-Attention was brought on after running a 17:27 5K on the track (time trial style) last fall. McNerney backed it up with a sensational cross country season and a personal best 17:18 for three-miles.
McNerney took advantage of some indoor competition opportunities and did not disappoint. At the new Gately Indoor, she had one of the most diversified portfolios of any athlete. McNerney competed in three different meets throughout the season and notched top ten marks 800 (2:18.68), 1600 (4:59.99), and 3200 (10:48.25).
McNerney indicated that she is a team player and will do whatever it is that is asked of her... it could be the 4x800, 1600m, 800m, or 3200m. Sounds familiar doesn't it??
