Nice win in 4x800 relay. Boys also notched a new CONFERENCE RECORD!!! Congrats to Andrew Erdal, AJ Handy, Will Miller, & Chris Janota. ⁦@DGSSports⁩

Great breakthrough day for sophomore Hugo Szulc. He ran a 3 second PR in the 800 and then dropped a 56 split in 4x4 after his previous best was 59!

Excellent 1600 by John Clinton running an indoor PR and SB with 4:28. Good sign as he was 4:35 at this point last year and qualified for state with 4:20 by the end of outdoor.

In varsity 3200, Ethan Traugott ran a season best of 10:20 for 3rd Teammate Conrad Saner lapped the entire field to run a meet record and PR of 9:16 (without really kicking). He was locked in running 14 straight laps within a .7 second range! @MSHeartland_ @IllinoisRunNews

The 3200 was a big event for us today. At FS level Jakub Kranz won and broke the meet record with 10:09. Loren Hirthe fought through discomfort to place 4th.

Great day for the team at Lake Park’s Bob Nihellis Invite! 3rd place as a team on varsity level with room for improvement as we prepare for Conference next week.

Congrats to alum Tim Neumann on earning All-American status with 4th place finish on DMR at Indoor Nats for MIT. He led off with a monster 2:58 1200 leg to give them the lead and they battled to hold on for 4th. He also ran a fantastic 3k to finish 11th at nationals!

Impressive night by senior Andrew Erdal. First Mustang to triple at Mustang Relays. Ran a solid 800 leg, was on school record 4x200, then ran season best split on 4x4. #dude
