Ohio Sweeps Illinois, Four Others;
Bridget Franek 18:09, Landon Peacock 15:23 are Champs
By Stephen Underwood
DyeStat Senior Editor
Members of the Illinois Mid-East Championships teams, filled with at least general if not specific feelings of they and their schools being slighted in national team rankings, came to Kettering, Ohio for the 19th annual version of the meet with a mission: to begin proving their merit to the country.
In the end they performed well, but the hosts were motivated, too, and wanted to defend what is practically their back yard. What could an Illinois boys team, including members of a Palatine squad whose supporters intensely feel they should get an NTN at-large bid, do against an Ohio team which included three standouts who lived within 10 minutes of the course (according to their coach)?
“I’ve been racing Chad (Balyo) here since we were in 7th-grade,” said Scott Meyers of Beavercreek, who finished 14th. “And he’s only beaten me twice,” said Balyo, who led OH in third, with a grin.
So defend their turf is what hosts did. Twice. With Balyo beating IL’s top two and Meyers part of a group of five OH runners (fourth through eighth men) that beat IL’s fifth, their boys team netted 47 markers to beat Illinois (55) and the four other states.
Individually, Michigan’s D2 state champ Landon Peacock – a key contender but hardly an overwhelming favorite – surged out ahead before the mile and was never really challenged for the win (15:23), despite the presence of other esteemed champs like Brock Hagerman IN (2nd 15:34).
The girls team race was even closer. Led by winner Bridget Franek’s 18:09 and Sarah Foster (4th 18:35), Ohio put four in the top 13, and just held off Illinois, 51-52. Paced by Shannon Phelan (6th 18:48), IL went 6-7-11-12-16 with an outstanding spread of just 24 seconds, but the winners just had too much at the front.
Franek pulled away from Pennsylvania’s Liz Costello and a small pack of others before the mile mark and gradually built her lead for the individual crown. Kellee Lemcke, who had led the big Michigan D1 race after two miles only to collapse several times before finishing well back, showed her true abilities here and came up for second in 18:24.
Peacock Almost Solo
Don’t get Landon Peacock wrong. He wants to run well at Foot Locker Midwest next weekend and qualify for nationals as bad as anyone else. But when he realized in the first mile it was going to be a good day, he pushed the pace and no one else was willing – or able – to stay with him.
Peacock rolled through a mile in 4:46(?) with a five-second lead and two in 9:45 and up by 11. At that point, Hagerman began a push for the next 800-1200 to see if Peacock was able to be caught. He wasn’t. Not too much drama in the boys race.
Like some of his peers of both genders, Peacock didn’t really know a lot about his competition, he just ran his race. “I didn’t know what to expect,” he said. “I still felt real relaxed coming up to the mile mark, so I took the lead.”
When Hagerman finally decided to step on the gas a little bit, he closed some of the gap quickly in the third mile, but Peacock said he “saved some energy” for the last half-mile or 400 of the race if he needed it.
One was reminded of what happened at Peacock’s state meet, where he also lost several seconds of his lead in the last mile, but had so pounded his opponents into oblivion between one and two that it hardly mattered. “That’s the way he has run all year,” said his Cedar Springs coach, Ted Sabinas. To do well at Kenosha, he will indeed have to both get out hard and save some energy for the end.
Hagerman didn’t seem too concerned with losing, noting that he’s building his efforts for San Diego. “I felt pretty good out there and just wanted to run with the lead pack,” he said. “I had no idea (about Peacock) … but he ran strong the whole race. I went harder the last mile, but when I saw I wasn’t going to catch him, I wanted to save something for next week.”
Ohio Rebuffs Illinois Boys Charge
At the start, due in somewhat equal parts to their motivation and a tough starting position, Illinois’ Steve Finley and Matthew De Silva immediately sprinted to the front as the course narrowed quickly in the first quarter-mile. Immediately, the thought was that these guys were really going to go after it.
But it wasn’t going to last, because De Silva was in over his head and Finley was about to have a slightly off-day, and Ohio put strong pack running tactics to work.
While Peacock was doing his thing, Balyo was holding steady in the pack behind him, going through the mile in 4:52, and Craven and Escareno were moving up among the chasers. Two miles passed for the group in 9:56. Balyo didn’t try and go with Hagerman in the third mile, but he was able to finish third (15:40) and hold off Craven (4th, 15:44) and a very impressive Escareno (5th, 15:49).
Through four runners, OH held just a one-point lead. Skyler Schmitt evened the score through two men when he was sixth. Then Chris Olinger finishing eighth ahead of Finley’s tenth gave OH a two-point edge, which was halved when Charlie Hatch IL edged Scott Meyers OH, by less than a second in 13th and 14th.
But then came the flood from the Buckeye state, with Paul Krebs (16th), Chris Rapp (18th), Andrew Langham (20th), and Tommy Morgan (21st) all finishing before IL’s fifth, which was Glenn Morris (23rd). In fact, the spread between the winners’ second through eighth men was just 13 seconds.
“It was awesome,” said Balyo. “That was our goal, to run together.”
“We did have a bit of a home course advantage,” said OH Coach Ted Rupe with a smile. “But I’ve coached this team for three years and I thought this was going to be our weakest team. We had a heck of a pack, though, and everyone ran real solid. But what do I know? Michigan came in last year, with a team like we had this year, and won it.”
Ohio hadn’t won a boys team title in this race since 1993.
A big key, besides Balyo, Meyers, and Krebs living so close to the course, was that Ohio got all 10 of their top seniors from state to participate. Illinois was missing a very important potential ingredient in Class A champ Jeremy Stevens, who is probably the best runner in the state and bypassed the meet.
Still, IL Coach Bob Geiger was well pleased with how his charges did after last year’s 5th-place debacle for both teams. “We were disappointed with last year,” he said. “The kids came here today to do well and really hoping to win, as well as get prepared for Foot Locker.
“Steve really wanted to do well,” he added regarding his Palatine AA champ. “He had such a great race at state. I haven’t seen him go out that hard all year (as he did Saturday). Part of it was because we were in an inside box.”
Geiger was also very pleased with his own runner he coaches at Rolling Meadows. “For Christian, it was the first week all year he’s actually trained,” he said. “He’s been in the pool and on the bike all year. For him to be up near the lead that long was great.”
Pennsylvania was third in the boys team race with 64, Michigan fourth 108, Indiana fifth 111, and Kentucky sixth 185. Other finishers in the top ten were Pennsylvania’s Josh Hibbs in seventh (15:56) and Kentucky’s Matt Smith in ninth (15:57).
Franek’s Dominance
That Ohio’s Bridget Franek was able to dominate the race was less of a surprise than with Peacock. Pennsylvania’s Liz Costello, at least, was expected to contend for the win, but Franek’s season had been filled with sub-18 performances and she almost got another Saturday on the deceptively tough course.
“I didn’t really know where everybody was, so I kind of just felt it out,” she said. “At 1200, I just felt like I could go.”
Costello battled in a pack of four for a while that included X , but it was Michigan’s Kellee Lemcke who finished best for second. “I just wanted not to go out too fast and work my way up there,” Lemcke said. “Then I pressed it up the final hill (in the third mile).”
Anyone who just looked at the Michigan state meet results might not have considered Lemcke a serious contender, what with her finishing just 20th in D1, but the list of times would not tell them she had led after two miles and then, suffering unexplained depletion, fell several times in the final quarter mile before staggering across the line.
“We still don’t really know what happened there,” she said. “They think I just took my body to the max and it shut down on me. I had drunk plenty of water before the race. Maybe I just pressed it too hard, too early.”
Going into this race, she said “I knew I had to keep a positive attitude.”
Costello, who hung on to third in 18:30, said she was “a little disappointed in my time, but it just wasn’t there today. (Franek) ran real strong. I tried to stay with her, but I didn’t want to change my pace too much.”
She was followed in the top 10 by Foster, Sarah Kehe IN 18:41, Phelan, Amy Laskowske IL 18:51, Megan Jackson IN 18:53, Emily MacLeod OH 18:56, and Anna Weber IN 18:58.
Michigan was third in the team race with with 67, Pennsylvania fourth 84, Indiana fifth 86, and Kentucky sixth 220.

Preview and Rosters
Illinois' top 2A runners Steve Finley and Ryan Craven test themselves against Indiana's best Brock Hagerman and Landon Peacock MI and Chad Balyo OH. Girls are led by Bridget Franek OH and Liz Costello PA.
Several state champions from Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky, among two 60-runner fields, will toe the line Saturday at the 19th Mid-East Cross-Country Championships at Indian Riffle Park in Kettering, OH.
The meet honors 10 of the top senior boys and girls in each of these six states each year and while many decline the invitation for various reasons, it has annually boasted some of the pre-eminent stars both regionally and nationally. It is also a chance for states to compete against each other in a unique format where all 10 athletes act as displacers with five scoring per normal.
Kentucky is returning to the meet after a few years absence, while West Virginia is not bringing teams this year. The girls race begins at 11 a.m., followed by the boys at 11:30.
Boys
Banter on the DyeStat message boards would lead one to believe that Illinois runners feel rather slighted on a national and regional level in terms of recognition. This will be one opportunity to prove they deserve more.
For the individual title, Steve Finley (Palatine HS) and Ryan Craven (Prospect), who were 1-2 in the Illinois AA state championship, are expected to challenge Indiana’s Brock Hagerman (Pendleton Heights), Michigan’s Landon Peacock (HS), and Ohio’s Chad Balyo (HS) – each the fastest champion in their respective states. Finley topped Craven in a spectacular finish at Detweiller Park two weeks ago, 14:20-14:21 (3M), in a race where the top nine finished within 11 seconds. Finley is also a member of the AA runner-up team, second only to York, that is being touted by its supporters as deserving of a Nike Team Nationals bid.
Two more from that Illinois AA top nine – Christian Escareno (Rolling Meadows, 8th) and Bruce MacTaggart (Glenbard South, 9th) are also listed on the team, along with Class A runner-up Charlie Hatch (Nashville), who was just a tick slower than MacTaggart. This group, combined with five more from the AA top 30 (including Glen Morris, also of Palatine), make Illinois the odds-on favorite in the team competition.
Meanwhile, Hagerman, Peacock, and Balyo can present formidable cases for the individual title. Hagerman exploded in the final 2k of the Indiana all-classes state meet to take the title in decisive fashion (15:14). After a 9th-place finish at Foot Locker MW as a sophomore was followed by an iron-deficiency-plagued end to his junior year, Hagerman has returned stronger than ever to finish unbeaten in the Hoosier state.
Peacock came on strong late in the year to establish himself as Michigan’s best. In the D2 state meet, he exploded to a 16-second lead after two miles in the state’s best field, then coasted to victory in 15:10. Balyo was steady all year and emerged from a tight group of contenders for the Buckeye state’s finest runner by winning the D1 race in 15:32. He could draw inspiration from last year’s Ohio class, which produced both the ME MOC winner in Levi Fox and the Foot Locker Midwest champ in Jeff See.
The host state team Ohio will give Illinois a run for its money. Its team has its first four from its D1 race and snagged each one of its ten top seniors overall from the state meet. Indiana lists nine of ten top seniors. Michigan topped Ohio for the team crown last year, with Indiana and Pennsylvania following, and Illinois well back in fifth. The Illinois team appears much better this year.
Pennsylvania, with Craig and Brad Miller not attending, as well as Keith Capecci and Jake Walker, is not quite as deep. Neither is Michigan or Kentucky (no Michael Eaton).
Girls
The girls field isn’t quite as strong and deep, but is expected to feature at least two very likely Foot Locker national qualifiers in Ohio’s Bridget Franek (Mantua Crestwood) and Pennsylvania’s Liz Costello (Conestoga).
Brittany Tinsley ruled the race for the home state last year, then parlayed that into a FL bid and 5th-place finish at nationals. Franek could do the same this time. The D1 champ is undefeated and has run in the 17s for 5k several times, including a 17:34 to win state by 36 seconds (fastest in all classes).
Costello, in her first full year of running after quitting soccer this fall for CC, controlled the PA state AAA race, taking down Frances Koon’s 2003 course record by 19 seconds on a hot day.
Indiana is likely to provide a pair of challengers at the top in state runner-up Sarah Kehe (Chesterton) and 11th-place finisher Megan Jackson (Northridge). Kehe is a rock of consistency at cross-country and track championship events. Jackson was in the top three in the Indiana state meet until the final half-kilometer and had won a semi-state meet.
Another top contender could be Shannon Phelan (Naperville North), the Illinois AA runner-up with a 17:06 3M at Detweiller.
The team race is tough to call, with Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Pennsylvania all having realistic shots. While Michigan may not have a legitimate front runner, it has solid depth with all of its runners having run between 18:21 and 19:07 at its state meet. Last year, Ohio prevailed in a tough four-way battle, scoring 40 to Penn’s 50, and with just 24 points separating the top four. Illinois was a distant fifth, but appears deeper this year.
