Preview Sep 18

There is a huge meet in Indiana and one in Illinois as well that should
garner some big meet results. There are a handful of medium sized meets as well
(two in Michigan-Holly Invite and New Boston Huron Invite, one in Louisville
with two top Midwest girls teams). It should be a great weekend out here in
the Midwest, especially since the weather has finally cooled a bit.

Top 10 schedule this week

Here are the two big invitationals:

There are many teams in the Midwest facing off against one another this
weekend. Here are the big invitationals to keep an eye on.

- New Prairie Invitational (Indiana)
This invitational will boast many of the top boys and girls team from Indiana. Nine of the top fifteen boys teams will be in action, including MW #3 Carmel IN. Carmel will be challenged by
many teams including: Lawrence North, Franklin Central, Chesterton, Northridge,
Portage, Fort Wayne Snyder, Crown Point and Valparaiso. All of these teams
will be trying their best to prove they are a top five team in the state. On
the girls side there will be some interesting racing as MW #5 Valparaiso takes
on MW #6 Northridge. This should provide the most exciting results of the
weekend. Also on the girls’ side, Chesterton and Indianapolis Cathedral, who are
the number three and four ranked teams in Indiana, will be squaring off as
well in the girls’ varsity race. There may be a surprise or two in this
invitational that could change the Midwest rankings.

- Peoria Notre Dame Invitational (Illinois)
Last weekend the big invitational in Illinois was the Peoria Woodruff Invitational, this weekend the Peoria
Notre Dame Invitational will be the highlight. There are many top teams
traveling to this invitational from around the state. On the girls side MW #3
Naperville North and MW #10 Palatine face off in a much anticipated dual between
the top two teams in the state. Many other ranked Illinois squads will be there
including: Sandburg, Hinsdale Central, Lincoln-Way East, Oak Park-River
Forest, Lake Forest and Neuqua Valley. On the boys side MW #5 Palatine is the team
to beat. US #1, MW #1 York will be brining one or two members of their top
seven and then a few of their 8-14 runners to field a tough squad. Palatine
regains the services of their number 3-4 man Steve Finley, who was out with a
lung infection for the past few weeks. A slew of other top Illinois boys’
squads will be there. Lyons Township, Naperville North, Wheaton Warrenville South,
Neuqua Valley, Glenbard South, Downers Grove North and Eureka will lead the
challenge.
