Cary-Grove ran its best race so far this season and make it out of the brutually tough St. Charles East Sectional with a 5th |
place finish. Phil Fairleigh has been a rock since Peoria and will be one of the top individuals this coming weekend. Bill |
Roth has the opportunity to be all-state with a great race on Saturday. Kai Rikardsen, Matt Klein, and Eddy Gibbons form a |
good 3-5 nucleus. The Trojans will have one more good race in them. If their split is around 45 seconds, they could flirt |
with a top 7 finish. | | | | | | |

At the beginning of the season, Coach Dave Jackson hoped just to get in a good sectional. Last fall, Coach Jackson and the |
Hornets were in the original sectional of death, Schaumburg, and did not qualify even though they were deserving to go. |
What goes around, comes around and Hinsdale South gets a chance to prove itself. Max Rodrigues has been pushed so far |
this season by Sophomore twins Donald and Matthew DeSalvo…this trio has a shot of making it into the top 40. The 1-5 |
split has been 66 and 76 seconds the last two meets, South has the capibility of getting under 60 seconds on Saturday. |

At the beginning of the season, Dyestat Illinois had ranked Downers North 10th in our pre-season poll. Many observers |
thought that rating was too high. Well, the Trojans get to prove their doubters wrong this Saturday after qualifying 3rd at the |
Reavis Sectional. Ben Silver has been one of the elite runners in the state and will be shooting for a top 10 finish Saturday. |
Dan Phistry has a shot at all state. Dan has been within 28 seconds of Silver the last 3 races. Downers North has the ability |
to place in the top 10 with the same kind of race that this top 7 has run the last 3 weeks. | | |

Edwardsville has been the elite team in downstate Illinois this season and will have a shot to prove how tough they are on |
Saturday. Freshman Garrett Sweatt has been the #1 runner for Coach George Patrylak the last month of the season and is |
starting to come into his own. The Tigers have run a strong pack all season led by Seniors Eli Sweatt and Devon Dudding. 1- |
5 splits the last 3 weeks have been 59-43-42 seconds…this team has been around 30 earlier in the year. With that kind of |
performance, they can be in the Top 7 teamwise. | | | | | |

York goes for its 27th state championship on Saturday with a formula that has been successful for them in the past…good |
front runners, great pack. Jordan Herbert has been a horse for Coach Joe Newton this season and will be up in the front of |
the race on Saturday. Senior Steve Sulkin has been up and down, do to a minor illness, but according to Newton, will be on |
top of his race on Saturday. After that York has a bevy of great runners that have the capability of being within the first 35 |
runners. Andrew Smith and Jack Driggs are underclassmen that are running like Seniors, Brain Pollistrini has shaken off |
early season injuries and keeps improving week to week. Junior Kush Sangha has been a big surprise this season for Newton |
and the duo of Adam Cecil and Patrick Morgan have been running tough as of late. Any of these guys can be in the lineup |
on Saturday. York has not run its best race the last couple of weeks but are still running away with meets. Their reputation |
is running their best at State…we should see that on Saturday. | | | | |

Geneva had a minor setback with getting a 2nd place finish at St. Charles East last Saturday, but has the capability of placing |
in the top 3 on Saturday. Andrew Nelson is been amongst the race leaders with every meet he is in…the same will be true at |
State. Chris Higgins is running like an experienced harrier, not some one in his first cross country season. Greg Adelman, |
Kevin Sparks, and Kevin McDowell are a close nit pack and feed off of each other’s energy. The pack for Bob Thomson’s |
team has been a s little as 20 seconds…last week it was 44 seconds. If this team approaches 30 seconds, they should return to |
Geneva with a team trophy. | | | | | | |

Hinsdale Central is one of 4 West Suburban Silver teams to run this weekend at Peoria. Jim Westphal’s team has run with |
the formula of no superstars, but a great team. Doug Moore has been the lead man for Westphal all season and will be |
counted on again for his leadership. Senior Arash Darbandi will be 10 to 15 seconds off of Moore this weekend, as will |
Sophomore Billy Fayette. A good young squad that could surprise people with the way they run on Saturday. | |

Conant qualified out of the Schaumburg Sectional with their 1st man, Jeffrey Thode, running an amazing race. Thode is |
coming off of a lung ailment that people doubted that he would be back this season. Thode responded with a strong 3rd place |
finish and stamping him as one of the top runners for the state meet this weekend. The pack off of Tyler Fuchs was their |
usual 41 seconds behind him…the same performance could net them a top 10 finish on Saturday…if the split is lower, the |
sky is the limit for John Powers’ team. | | | | | |

Lyons Township is getting healthy at the right time. In winning the Reavis Sectional, Michael Danner’s team proved that it |
will be in the running for a trophy with a tight pack. Jack Hostetler has been the #1 man for Danner the last 3 weeks. Sam |
Tefler and Michael Janusek has been close behind him. The big plus for LT is the return of Senior Alex Lyons, who is finally |
healthy after getting sick right before the Peoria Notre Dame Invite. The pack has been hovering around 25 seconds the last |
two meets. If one of the four above mentioned runners can get in the top 25 with the same kind of pack, Lyons will come |
back with a trophy…but what kind? | | | | | |

Lake Zurich has been running hot the last couple of weeks and will look to continue this trend at Peoria. Gerardo Perez has |
emerged as one of the top runners in the state and will be in the top 10 Saturday. Junior Andrew Morrison has been a great |
compliment to Perez, last week within 22 seconds of him. Morrison has a great shot of being all-state. The split of 78 |
seconds might hurt JB Hanson’s squad on Saturday. They will need to keep it at where it was at their conference meet 70 |
seconds or lower for a high team finish. | | | | | |

Last season, Minooka just missed making it to state. It was a goal this year that drove Kevin Gummerson’s team to achieve it |
last Saturday at Normal West. Gummerson has a great duo in Senior Josh Keck and Freshman Kyle Smith leading the way. |
The split between runners Sean Coyle, Julian Hoshell, and Joeie Ruettiger needs to stay around 25 seconds between them |
and 45 seconds of Keck on Saturday for success. | | | | | |

Moline has experienced a breakout season finally getting over the hump and making it to state for Coach Tauwon Taylor. |
Jonathan Smith has emerged as the top runner in the western Illinois area and will be one of the top runners on the course |
on Saturday. Their was a 24 second split between 2-5 last week. The pack led by Nic Mizeur and Michael Castel will hope to |
be within 30 seconds of Smith on Saturday. A team with a definite shot at a top 10 finish. | | |

Prospect took a different approach last week at the Schaumburg Sectional, yet it netted them a second place finish. At |
Peoria Invite, Chris Hayek was 41 seconds ahead of the 2nd man Albert Ciolek. At conference 18 seconds. The Knights |
packed it up at Sectionals and proved successful keeping 4 seconds between the first 3. The split of 24 seconds was very |
mpressive; they will need a repeat of that effort for a high finish. Look for Chris Hayek to be in the Top 10 on Saturday. |

Coach Paul Vandersteen was not satisfied with the way his team ran last weekend at St. Charles. But it was not a typical |
race for Neuqua Valley. Watch for their best race of the season this weekend. Danny Pawola has a great shot of the |
individual title on Saturday. Aaron Beattie seems to be recovered from an IT band problem and should be up with Pawola. |
He is a gutty runner and the layoff should not hurt him. The 1-5 split so far this season has been aroound 45 seconds…last |
week it blew up at 65 seconds. I don’t see this happening this week. Brian Morenus and Bryan Winek will have great races |
this week…that has been the trend. Also watch for a great run from Luke Verbus. Do not count this team out from a trophy |
or a 2nd state championship. | | | | | | |

Naperville North tweeked its schedule this season running in fewer meets early on in the year. This approach has worked |
and the Huskies look primed to challenge for the State championship in AAA. Kyle Gibson will be one of the individual |
favorites on Saturday and has been the lead man not only on but also off the course for Coach David Racey. North has the |
capability of having up to 4 all state runners in Tyler Jermmann, David McWilliams, and Bob Guthrie along with Gibson. |
Mike Herbert has been solid for Racey as his 5th runner. Nothing special has to happen from this squad on Saturday if they |
run their race. If the 1-5 split can be at 44 seconds, the Huskies will head back to Naperville with a state trophy. | |

Lincoln-Way Central hopes for a high finish took a tremendous hit when lead runner for most of the season Lukas |
Verzbicas was diagnosed with a back problem that would not allow him to run for the state series. The Knights responded |
with a great effort last Saturday at Normal West and could be in the hunt for a top 7 finish on Saturday. This is a deep squad |
for Coach John Taylor. He has a number of runners that can step in at crunch time. Last week, Ethan Simmons ran his best |
race so far this season. Sophomore Kyle Counter is another runner who can stay close to Simmons. The Knights will need a |
tight pack on Saturday from their 3-5 men for a great team finish. | | | |

Fenwick looks to have a great race on Saturday for outgoing Coach John Polka. Martin Grady has been the lead man for the |
Friars all season and will be in the hunt for the top 25. Jack Boyle, Tom Laser, and William Toohey form a great supporting |
cast and will hope to stay within 6 seconds of each other and 20 seconds of Grady on Saturday. If the 5th man, either Dan |
Yerkes or Matt Miller can stay within 60 seconds of Grady, Fenwick should finish strong in the team race. | |

Sandburg has a definite shot at a top team finish this week. Zach Dahleen has been one of the top runners in the state with |
wins at Sectionals and Peoria Notre Dame. The status of top 5 runner Kyle McNicholas is unknown at the time of this |
writing. Having him in there would be a huge plus for Coach John O’Malley. Elliot Hevel and Kyle Meyer have been strong |
runners to compliment Dahleen…they will need to be within 30 seconds of him for success on Saturday. Sophomore Mike |
Tortorelli has stepped in with gritty performances the last couple races…watch for a good one from him on Saturday. If |
Sandburg’s split can stay within 65 seconds, a good team performance will come from it. | | |

be in the top 10 individually…also watch for Alec Bollman, who has been within 13 seconds of Bernardo to be in the hunt |
for All-State. Coach Chris Quick has received great runs the last couple of weeks from Tom Laskowske, Juan Perez, and |
Luke Kierys the last couple of meets. The split has been around 40-45 seconds. If this can be maintained on Saturday, the |
Pirates could drive back to Palatine with a trophy. | | | | |

Maine South ran their best performance so far this season and were rewarded with a spot in the State Meet field. The best 1- |
5 split of the season for the Hawks was run last week…look for it to get even tighter this weekend. Coach Greg Nordahl has |
a solid 5 in Gabriel Arenas, David Eckhart, Ryan Lynn, Sean Senf, and Dylan Wallace. With another solid run this weekend, |
Maine South could surprise people with a shot of being in the top 10 teamwise. | | | |

Lake Park received a strong run from Junior Ryan Jorgensen last Saturday at Niles West and qualified for Peoria with that |
effort. Watch for Juniors Luke Nally and Steve Krauss to be close to Jorgensen this week for Coach Lance Murphy. The split |
the last two weeks has been around 52 seconds…if the Lancers can drop it another 15 seconds, they will have a great team |
performance on Saturday. | | | | | | |

Watch for a great race from the North Stars on Saturday. Max Clink is ready to go and will be in the hunt for all state. Todd |
Vankerkhoff and Steve Miller should be close to Clink. Kyle Zankowski has stepped up with great runs the last 2 weeks and |
we should expect another one at State. Will Novorolsky is a key for Coach Steve Imig…if he can stay within 35 seconds of |
Clink, this team will be in contention for a team trophy. | | | | |

Loyola has the nucleus of 3 great runners that could get all state on Saturday. Nico Composto looked solid in getting 2nd at |
Sectionals and will be in contention for the individual crown on Saturday. Mark Donohue and Jack Seeburg also have the |
capability of being in the top 25. With 3 runners up front, Coach Jack Seeburg has a little luxury of a wider pack. But, he |
will need Mac Ford and Kevin Kapolnek to be within 80 seconds of the front trio for great things to happen. | |
| | | | | | | |
Team Race | | | | | | | |
The team race may the best battle we have seen in the last 30 years. In my eyes, there are 4 teams that could leave |
Detweiller with the State Championship trophy. Naperville North has a solid first 4 that could be in the top 25. The key for |
them will be keeping their split ffrom 1 to 2 at 15 seconds and the 1-5 split has to be at 44 seconds or better. York has not |
received the respect that some people believe this team deserves and they could show how strong they are on Saturday. |
Herbert and Sulkin will be in the front, but the pack has to be around 40 seconds for victory. Neuqua Valley should have a |
resurgence this week with the return of Aaron Beattie. Verbus, Winek, and Morenus will need to have solid races to support |
Pawola and Beattie. Geneva has a shot at a trophy. Nelson will be towards the front capable of low scores. The pack needs |
to be within 30 seconds of Nelson for a Viking victory. Lyons Township could be the darkhorse amongst the “Big 4”. With |
the return of Alex Lyons and a tight pack, the Lions have the capability of pulling a shocker. Palatine is steady and will have |
a say in the final outcome. Bernardo and Bollman will give the Pirates a shot at a state trophy. Close score for the top 3 |
teams…we may a difference of 15 between the first 4 teams. | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Individual Race | | | | | | |
The individual race is up for grabs. Start with Kyle Gibson…undefeated this season, has run 14:39 on a 3 mile course. Jordan |
Herbert and Steve Sulkin will be in the mix. Both have run some sizzling times this fall. Herbert looked tough last week at |
Niles West covering the 3.0 mile flat course in 14:24! Steve Sulkin appears to be recovered from his illness. He will be tough. |
In 5 races that they have run against each other, Sulkin is 5-0 against Kyle Gibson in state competitions. Danny Pawola has |
been beaten twice by Gibson in consecutive weeks, but has the ability to run away with the race. Andrew Nelson of Geneva |
has a great kick and could be a factor if he is with the leaders at the end. Andrew Larson of Marmion Academy has not |
received much coverage because of the Marmion schedule. He has been running tough the last couple of weeks. He could be |
a surprise in the outcome. Zach Dahleen has been running strong of late and could force the pace like he did last fall. |
Gerardo Perez of Lake Zurich is another runner that has been running strong of late and will be a factor. This is a race that |
anything can happen…expect the unexpected. Also watch for Freshman Garrett Sweatt of Edwardsville, Pat Lesiewicz of |
Schaumburg, Nico Composto of Loyola Academy, Ben Silver of Downers Grove North, Justin Smith of Moline, Phil |
Fairleigh of Cary-Grove, Anthony Manfrin of Dundee Crown, and Chano Bernardo of Palatine to be in the mix. Depending |
on the weather, watch for times from 14:20-14:25 to win this race. | | | |
| | | | | | | |
GOOD LUCK TO ALL ATHLETES AND COACHES THIS WEEKEND !!! | | | |
