2024 MileSplit IL Team Power Rankings-Week 2


2A Boys 

Comments:  Speed has been on display for the Vikings. John Hannah III has blazed the oval, he leads the class in the 200m, Quinton Williams leads in the 60m, its no surprise the team's 4x200m is state leader. Perhaps a secret weapon along with Harley Rizzs (sprints) is distance ace Luis Flores. East St Louis has some rising talent they hope can sneak up on everyone. Their mojo now relies on all the relays. Shamond McClain is their jumps specialist, with returning all-stater Kenneth Buchanon getting into the swing of things. The Patrick Hilby effect is a real thing for the ACC Chargers. The current national leader at 800m is a threat anytime he touches the track whether in an open event or anchoring a relay. Daniel Eberle will be a needed commodity in the pole vault as he is now. The Chargers lead the class in the 4x400m. Chicago (Payton) has recently won a state title in the 4x800; the Grizzles find themselves atop the class rankings in that event once again, in addition to both sprint relays. Preston Ellis is an individual threat in the half mile. Cahokia, fresh off another trophy season, is back in the ranks, It is no surprise jumps are carrying the Comanches; returning all-stater Jo'Viano Howard is the lead culprit and class leader in the triple jump Victreze Thomas.
