DGN’s top 6 (7 on a good day) are all probably better than South’s 3/4 (and there is a decent gap between their 3/4 and their 5). Remember that Eddington and Weber were All State last year, Schroeder has been up with them all year long, Cupial defeated the defending state champion to win Regionals (and was 3 seconds behind him to place second at the toughest conference in the state). At Sectionals, Surratt was DGN’s 5th runner and was ahead of every other team’s second runner except for Strayer of Lyons. And Bender was their 6th runner ahead of every 3rd runner except Lyons and every other 2nd runner except Neuqua, Hinsdale, and West Aurora. Plainfield South honestly has a team that would probably win most years, but I think some people are forgetting how dominant DGN has been due to them not racing a ton mid season. A 23 second split on 5 runners also beats the 58 second split of South, and DGN’s pack will not be 35 seconds behind Viger/Maloney.

Plainfield South!!!!!!! They are going 1-2 so it will be 3 runners versus DGN 5.
It's possible they could go 1-2 but I think DGN is capable of 5 or 6 in the top 25 (scoring) and PS is not.

I think what is factual is that Illinois State will be awesome across all (3) classes both men/women. I want to see everyone run PR’s.

Illinois is famously slow in putting up state results, once I remember they weren't up until that night about 5 hours after the meet was over.
Which is the best venue to get results? Athletic.net?

The kid with the injury ran for Tuscola, looks like they won by a point over Benton.

Gavin Genisio is individual champion in Class 1A with a time of 14:12, a 12 second PR for him. If Nalley PRs by the same, he gets the record. Genisio’s team of Benton gets second, Tuscola ran Blake McLeese, who had been injured since conference, and he was in good enough shape to be their #4 still. Tuscola wins 97-104 with Elmwood in 3rd with 166. Isaac Teel second individually with 14:25, Jackson Barrett of Tuscola third with 14:40.

In the 2A girls the 5th place finishers was 27 seconds behind 4th place (her teammate) and 30 seconds ahead of 6th place. Talk about running alone.

If Marion has a pretty strong team not just Nalley.

in class 2A, I wasn't sure Heitzig would win b/c she was playing a V-ball game the night before to qualify her team for sectionals. But she still ended up winning. Hmm, fascinating. What happened to Veronica Znjada (Prospect) in class 3A? did she drop out? or is there some kind of microchip glitche.10 -
