Looking at IL XC state. Girls 3A top 5 schools. From the scoring 5 of those 5 schools, 19 girls are freshmen - juniors. 11 are freshmen or sophomores. Mt Prospect scored points w/ no seniors. And EDW with their JV, 2027 looks fun.

Congratulations to this Tiger! University of Miami bound to compete next year with the Hurricanes. ✋🤚 Best wishes and good luck! Still one of my favorite interviews after going sub 14 in hurdles.
1A XC regional @ Trenton. In ‘25, this was the ONLY regional in IL, girls or boys, 1A-3A, with no seniors finishing top 11. Just fr-jr. And 10/11 went on to Peoria. In ‘24, there were 4 sr top 11 here. 2 from the reg champs, Father McGivney. ‘26 will be fun.
