Nutritional Value and Uses of Sunflower Seeds

They are also a good source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins such as vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant in the body. In addition, sunflower seeds contain important minerals including magnesium, selenium, and phosphorus, all of which contribute to normal bodily functions.

Ground sunflower seeds can also be used to create spreads or incorporated into sauces and dressings. Their adaptability allows them to be used in both sweet and savory dishes.

Post-State Blues
Does anyone else get a little down after all the excitement during the build-up for State? It gets dark early, (generally) the team is done with day-to-day practices and meets, and some have moved on to winter sports. As a longtime CC coach, I find this week always a little sad, for me.

On the girls 3A side : 1) Busse Woods; THE top three teams in the state battling it out. 2) Lake Park: 10 ranked teams competing. I'm a T&F fan but I'M even excited to see what happens these next two weeks
Unfortunetly it looks like Mia isnt running this week or next which will shake things up a bit at the top.

Micah Wilson looks the best right now but would love to see Ryan Watts have a great year at Iowa St and take home a national title!

Richard Spring Recap
Fast times at Detweiller Park. 37 runners under 15:00 is insane for a regular season Peoria Meet. Big team wins for both Lane Tech boys and Hersey girls. Prospect girls looked amazing if you add the freshman. Post your thoughts below

PND boys looked phenomenal taking down 2A #1 Mahomet-Seymour. Max Kirby had himself a day running 14:29 to break Adam White's school record by 2s. The 2-5 runners had just a 14s split (15:23-15:37) which bodes well for November. Perhaps the biggest surprise was Dax Duffy who was the fifth man in 15:37 coming off injury. Expect him to be closer to 15:00 within the next few weeks.
