Really happy for my friend @_drewberoset_ He went 8:46 for the full two miles at The Chicago Circuit and dropped the US #1 time in high school this year. @IHSA_IL @IllinoisRunNews @MSHeartland_ @milesplit @tnmilesplit

Congratulations to Philip Cupial @dgnxcandtrack on being recognized as the IL @Gatorade Cross Country POY. Grateful to be nominated for this prestigious award. Thank you to @coachclarey & @KHSBoysTrack for believing in me. @IHSA_IL @IllinoisRunNews

Just watched these two dudes go US #1 & #2 in the 600m. @OwenHoreni & @CalebWinders just went off running 1:17 and 1:18 respectively. #Misfits2026 @NDXCTF @UNCTrack_Field @IllinoisRunNews @MSHeartland_

@packers if you don’t know. It’s Chicago! 🐻 @ChicagoBears #BearDown #packersvsbears

Grateful to be considered by @DyeStat as one of the top 100 cross country runners in the nation. Only up from here ⬆️. Bring on Indoor Season. @MSHeartland_ @KHSBoysTrack @IHSA_IL @IllinoisRunNews

Legendary @football_ncc coach Jeff Thorne passed away Tuesday night after a courageous battle with stomach cancer. Thorne served on the Cardinal coaching staff from 2002 to 2021. While Thorne's accomplishments as a coach are rivaled only by his father, John Thorne, the head football coach for 13 seasons, and long-time friend and current head coach Brad Spencer, Thorne will be remembered most for the profound impact he had on countless student-athletes. #WeAreNC northcentralcardinals.com/news/2025/12/1…

Congrats to Carson Kaiser and Luke Robinson for finishing within the Top 20 finishers at RunningLane Championships!

Heading home with some bling. 💍 @IllinoisRunNews @ILXCTF @MSHeartland_ @milesplit

As I run my last XC race I’m filled with gratitude. Gr8ful for the talents the Lord has given me. For my M & D supporting me with unwavering love. For Coach Clarey, Coach Brundige, and Coach Drendel who always challenge me to smile & do my best. @IllinoisRunNews @MSHeartland_

Congratulations to Phil, Kamari, Jack, Carson, Brice and Beckett as they head to PDX. Happy with the PR, but disappointed I missed #NXN by two spots. Don’t care what anyone says. #NXR Midwest on Laverne Gibson course makes it the hardest region to qualify. @runnerspace

One of my favorite nighttime routines is rolling out and getting my “Magic Legs” on. #NXR Midwest on deck! #CliffWorld @MSHeartland_ @runnerspace @IllinoisRunNews @milesplit

I want to wish everyone luck at #NXR Midwest this weekend. The Laverne Gibson course is no joke. Lots of special runners going head to head in this race. The Midwest regional is stacked. Travel Safe and God Bless. #CliffWorld @runnerspace @MSHeartland_ @IllinoisRunNews
