York IL boys win 6th straight trip to finals.
Magnificat OH girls live up to MW#1 ranking.
Hannah Neczypor OH 17:34.3 CR
Zach Wills OH 15:07.1


Boys - Zach Wills OH runs away from the start to win in 15:07.1.  Andrew Smith and Jack Driggs finished 5th and 6th to lead York's win.  Third at the Illinois state meet, York 113 turned the tables on Illinois rivals MW#1 Neuqua Valley 137 and MW#2 Loyola 139.   York is the only team to make the NXN national finals all 6 years that the meet has been held.  Tony Jones story: Despite being ranked 3rd, York still thought they had the momentum.  Futsum watches Zach and awaits a rematch.

Girls - 217 Hannah Neczypor and Madeline Chambers duelled the entire last mile and finished 1-2 for Ohio, with Neczypor winning in 17:34.3, a course record for HS runners by 26 seconds.  Chambers led MW#1 Magnificat OH to the team title over MW#2 Palatine IL, 58-93.  MW#4 Lee's Summit West MO was third with 108 points.  Bob Geiger story:  They could have played this one on paper.

the Course

It is a very beautiful and scenic course well marked in metric distances (miles too) every kilometer.  The opening ½ mile is a beeline south then turns right going west then north.  Just after the first mile the course runs like a snake with a series of rolling hills peppered in.  The final ¼ mile flattens out from north to south into the finish line. (Tony Jones)
