Mather XC

Boys finish 7th at IHSA 2A STATE Meet! Top 10 for second straight year. Came into season unranked, just wanting to make State. Ended up with best finish in school history! #Inspired 2 All-State Medalists: Muhiyadin Ali - 8th Mohamed Abdullahi - 14th @Matherhs @CPLAthletics

@CoachJakeAAllen SPEED

I have put together a guide on Speed Training & running mechanics. Everything is in easily digestible terms so that all ages and experience levels will understand. Comment "SPEED" and I will DM it to you.

Got our vote! Have supported the @MatherXC Invites for over a decade!

@CoachScottDFDC Special group. Proud to be DFDC.

And just like that, an unbelievable season comes to an end. Not the result we hoped for today, but this crew made HISTORY this season. Decades of alumni, including the coaches, are beyond proud to see that this group finally got the DFDC to 3A State.

Mohamed & Hirsi finish their XC careers at STATE. Not the finish they hoped for, but extremely proud of them. Mohamed came in dealing with illness, but put himself in it & held on for 35th. Hirsi moved up all race to finish 79th. Two of the best ever to run for Mather. #RFEO

@CoachScottDFDC @DeerfieldTFnXC YES!!!!!

WE DID IT! The third-smallest school in 3A is going to STATE! It's the first time Deerfield has qualified in the big school class since 1982! (34 season drought because of 6 years in 2A). Legends!! DFDC!!! athletic.net/CrossCountry/m…

Rangers finish 13th at the IHSA 3A Lake Park Sectional. Well off our team goal. #3 runner fell 600m in and couldnt recover position. But proud of the way we COMPETED. Mohamed Abdullahi & Hirsi Hirsi advance to STATE as individuals. #Team #Together @Matherhs @CPLAthletics

@CoachScottDFDC @DeerfieldTFnXC Let’s go!! 🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳

3A Regional Champions!! Our second ever Regional Championship in the big-school class since Regionals became a thing. The kitchen was OPEN today!

Always a great to chat with Mike Newman after a race! Mohamed brought along his hype man Jose Moreno. #Teammates #ForEachOther

Good day for the Rangers at the IHSA 3A Oak Park Regional. Boys finish a strong 3rd and advance to Sectionals. Two All-Regional Runners: Mohamed Abdullahi - Regional Champion 🥇 Hirsi Hirsi - 3rd Place #Team #Together #1MoreWeek @Matherhs @CPLAthletics
