Illinois High School XC Roadmap to the Weekend - October 4, 2024

 

By Michael Newman

 

The cover photo for this piece shows Dylan Jacobs photo bombing a Mundelein team picture on his way to running 13:57.5 to win the Boys race at the Peoria Central Invitational in 2017. It remains the fastest non-state meet time ever run on this course.

 

The times will not be that fast at Detweiller Park in the four races taking place on that course for the Peoria meet. We will have to wait until Saturday night in Terre Haute to see some great times run by Illinois runners.

 

This is the weekend for BIG meets across the state as teams start to gear up for conference and then state series meets. Here is a look at some previews of some of those meets.

Notes: This meet gives Illinois teams a chance to compare themselves against other Midwest and some national teams on the course that will host the NXR Midwest Regional on November 17. Evan Noonan of Dana Hills CA will lead his team into Terre Haute as one of the individual favorites in the Boys race. Noonan ran 14:04 for 3-miles at Woodbridge. Lily Adler of Timpview UT ran 15:28 while teammate Jane Hedengren ran 15:36 two weeks ago at Woodbridge and will be runners to watch in the front. You can see the preview from DyeStat.com HERE.

 

Isabella Keller ran in this meet last September finishing third in the Race of Champions. She ran 15:59 last week at St. Joseph-Ogden and will be in the mix for another top finish. Veronica Znajda and Annika Swan finished 2-3 at both Lake Park and then at Peoria two weeks ago both running under 17-minutes. You can expect these two runners to be in the mix for a top finish. Meg Peterson and Molly Farrell could be among the runners you see finishing in the top 15. Prospect came to this meet last year ending up winning the title. Znajda, Peterson, and Ireland Wildhart will give the Knights low points in the front. Watch to see where their 4-5 runners place in this race.

 

There was anticipation to see two of the top three runners in the state Ben Crane and Dylan Maloney race against each other last week in Peoria. Crane did not race in that meet. The two will challenge each other in the Boys Race of Champions. Crane ran 14:26 in near 90-degree heat in Peoria on September 14/ Maloney broke Josh Methner’s course record running 14:28 to win last week. Both will push each other to top five finishes in this race. Plainfield South ran well in the Palatine race last week and will look to duplicate that performance on Saturday night. Maloney will give his team small numbers in the front. The Cougars have been running a between 25 to 30 seconds on their second through fifth runners during the season and 50 seconds behind their leader. Those spreads need to diminish for this team to have a chance to win the race title. Fremd did not run their best race last week from Palatine and will improve on that performance. New Trier, Lyons Township, and O’Fallon could finish among the top 10 teams in this meet.

 

Wheaton North Falcon Classic @ St. James Farm, Wheaton

Girls Teams: #2 Elmhurst (York), #7 Arlington Heights (Hersey), #15 Winnetka (New Trier), #20 Wheaton (North), #21 O’Fallon, #24 Lockport (Township), #25 Wilmette (Loyola Academy), #29 Oswego (East), 2A #4 Wheaton (St. Francis),  2A #11 Lisle (Benet Academy)| Aurora (Rosary), Frankfort (Lincoln-Way East), Geneva, Neenah WI, Oswego, St. Charles (East).

Notes: 10 of the 16 teams in the meet are among the rankled teams in Class 3A. York is the class of the field and could win five of the seven championship flights in this meet. The championship race should be lights out with Karlin Janowski of York the runner to watch in this race after finishing second last week at Palatine. Delilah Helenhouse of Benet Academy is having a super senior season and will push the York freshman in this race. Erin Hinsdale of St. Francis, Jane Lynch of Loyola Academy, Madeline Bialko of Hersey, and Josie Cahill of New Trier are some of the runners to watch in this high-powered race.

 

Locktoberfest Invitational @ Dellwood Park, Lockport

Boys Teams: #12 Naperville (Neuqua Valley), #19 Naperville (North), #20 Wheaton North, #23 New Lenox (Lincoln-Way Central), #25 Berwyn-Cicero (Morton), #28 Glen Ellyn (Glenbard West)| Bolingbrook JV, Chicago (Whitney Young), Chicago Heights (Bloom Township), Crete-Monee, Downers Grove (South), Frankfort (Lincoln-Way East), Joliet (Central), Lemont, Lincolnshire (Stevenson), New Lenox (Lincoln-Way West), Oak Lawn, Palos Heights (Shepard), Plainfield (East), Plainfield (South) JV, Riverside-Brookfield, Tinley Park.

Notes: Lockport’s home course has been on their campus course. This home meet takes them to historic Dellwood Park and the rugged 5k course. Six ranked teams are in this meet led by DVC rivals Neuqua Valley and Naperville North. These two packing teams assure the results will be close. 300+ runners will be in the Varsity race. Alex Rodriguez of Berwyn-Cicero Morton would have been one of the race leaders, but he is not entered. The race is wide open with Sean Hanrahan of Lincoln-Way East, Nathan Gabriel of Joliet Central, Braden Hoff of Lincoln-Way Central, and Aidan Murphy of Wheaton North leading the front pack.

Zion, #21 Bethalto (Civic Memorial) #22 Metamora |  (1A) #6 Rockford (Christian), #17 Murphysboro, #24 Tuscola| Other Teams: Bartonville (Limestone), Beardstown, Belvidere, Bensenville (Fenton), Carbondale, Carlinville, Carterville, Champaign (Central), Chatham (Glenwood), Chicago (Brother Rice), Chicago (Hope Academy), Darien (Hinsdale South), Dunlap, East Peoria, Freeburg, Galesburg, Herrin, Mattoon, Mundelein (Carmel), Peoria, Peoria Manual, Peoria (Dame) JV, Peoria (Richwoods), Pontiac, Princeton, Rantoul, Stanford (Olympia), Sterling, Urbana, Waterloo, West Chicago (Wheaton Academy).
1A/2A Notes: The open race of the day, 1A/2A Girls, has 16 ranked teams, the most of the four races held at this meet. Top 2A team Chatham-Glenwood has been getting stronger with every race. The Titans should score under 100 points in this race. Normal University will be without one of their top runners, Natalie Bierbaum on Saturday but will challenge for a top three finish. Zoe Carter of Normal University leads what should be a great race with Cameron Crump of Waterloo and Ali Londrigan of Chatham-Glenwood close to Carter. The Boys team race in this class is open led by Normal University and Highland. The individual race is not open with Finn Richards of Benet Academy the one runner to watch up front.

 

3A Girls Teams: Ranked = 5: #9 Huntley, #10 Edwardsville, #19 Park Ridge (Maine South), #23 Northbrook (Glenbrook North), #28 Hampshire |  Other Teams: Algonquin (Jacobs), Alton, Aurora (East), Belleville (East), Belleville (West), Bloomington, Buffalo Grove, Chicago (Taft), Decatur (Co-Op), Downers Grove (South), Elk Grove, Evanston (Township), Flossmoor (Homewood-F.), Glenview (Glenbrook South), Granite City, Harvey (Thornton), Hoffman Estates, Joliet (Central), McHenry, Mundelein, Normal (Community), Oak Lawn (Richards), Palatine (Fremd), Park Ridge (Maine East), Pekin, Plainfield (South), Rockton (Hononegah), Springfield, Wheeling.

3A Boys Teams: Ranked = 5 : (3A) #3 Edwardsville, #10 Elmhurst (York), #11 Orland Park (Sandburg), #29 Park Ridge (Maine South) | (2A) #3 Morton | Other Teams: Algonquin (Jacobs), Alton, Aurora (East), Belleville (East), Belleville (West), Bloomington, Bolingbrook, Chicago (Taft), Decatur (Co-Op), Elk Grove, Flossmoor (Homewood-F.), Glenview (Glenbrook South), Granite City, Hampshire, Harvey (Thornton), Hoffman Estates, Huntley, Joliet (West), McHenry, Mundelein, Normal Community, Northbrook (Glenbrook North), Oak Lawn (Richards), Oak Park (Fenwick), Palatine Fremd (JV), Park Ridge (Maine East), Pekin, Rockton (Hononegah), Rolling Meadows, St. Charles (East), Springfield, Wheeling, Winnetka (New Trier) JV, Zion-Benton.

3A Notes: Edwardsville is coming off a strong race last week at Palatine will be challenged by Huntley in this race. Maine South may close the gap between the two schools if they have their full lineup in place. Stella Davis of Evanston will be one of the favorites to watch that also includes Kaitlyn Burns of Glenbrook South, Madison Popelar of Edwardsville, Madison King of Joliet Central, Isa Hasty of Fremd, Sofia Arcuri of Maine South, and Hudson Szymonik of Jacobs. Edwardsville shocked some of the state finishing second last week at Palatine. They will try to duplicate that effort in this race. York, who finished second on this course two weeks ago did not have their best race last week. The Dukes could get a boost if top five runner Sam Kehoe runs in this race and another boost with the possible addition of freshman Patrick Hill. Sandburg ran well two weeks ago and will press Edwardsville and York for the team win. 2A Morton opted to run in this race a year and will do so again on Saturday. A top three finish could be possible. The individual race is wide open with New Trier sending their top team to Terre Haute. Tommy Nitz of Huntley could be the top runner with Gavin Rodgers of Edwardsville, Emmett Bradford of York, Landon Harris of Granite City, and Greyson Ellensohn of St. Charles East in close pursuit.

Notes: The Girls race will be in the spotlight even though all-state runners Annika Swan and Nicole Poglitsch will not race at Marquette Park.
