This is a special weekend in Illinois Cross Country. Not only does it mark the first weekend that postseason racing hits the grass, but this is the only weekend of the entire season that every single team competes.
There is a wide variety of regionals--somewhere ranked teams may not qualify, others where there may not even be scoring teams to fill every qualifying spot. Whatever may happen, we wish the best of luck to all competing this Saturday, October 22nd.
Whet your appetite for the start of the postseason with our picks for the first six teams (seven in 1A) to finish in each regional, and the individual winners of each race to boot.
