Chicago Payton senior Declan Slavin will be a crucial piece in his team's opportunities at NBNI
This weekend is tabbed "Indoor nationals weekend," and that means many of the nation's top track and field athletes will converge on Boston. Illinois will send one of its largest fleets in years. We took time to spotlight various athletes who will be competing on the track and in the field.
