Who is the best current collegiate xc runner from Illinois?
Drew Rogers, Liam Newhart, Ryan Watts, or Micah Wilson come to mind for me.

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.

Batavia is now hosting the previously TBA Regional that feeds into the Lake Park Sectional. With them hosting it at the Settlers Hill course there's now two regionals from the same sectional running at that course. Has that ever happened before? The only other times I can think of where a Regional or Sectional hosted two meets on the same day were when they were in different classes.

My very own, little, weekly, riddle.
Once a keeper of splits, where the miles reside,
Now he charts his own course with a pen as his guide.
Breaking from empires to build something new,
A forum, a voice, for the old and the true.
He tracks every race, every runner’s scenario, Who else could it be but ______ ________ ?

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.
