Breakdown: The Wildkits of Evanston ran away with the state lead in this event with their state performance and return all of their firepower.
This will be an event that Whitney Young will want to take back. Look for Kenwood to make a stronger impact in this event than they did last year, while at full health.
This was an event that took a hit with the pandemic altered season, especially without prelims at state. Ideal race conditions throughout the season should produce a couple of sub-1:40 performances this season with the deep 200 squads in the state, especially from the Chicago squads.
