Highly ranked York (194)was destroyed by Wilmette Loyola (79) Academy and Palatine (133. So much for the Dukes top 10 national rating. However, Newton will get them back on track, he always does. There might be a few butts getting chewed out on the bus back to Elmhurst right about now.
York always runs the JV at Notre Dame...they bring the "A" squad to Peoria Central meet
York sat out at least their top three for this meet. Loyola was picked by some to challenge York this year at state, so it's not surprise that they ran so well. Loyola, York and Palatine meet next weekend at the Palatine Invite.
hey, that's awesome! I went to loyola (years ago), and we always got pounded by york. they must be doing something right there to be having the success they've enjoyed these past couple of years.
do you mean like running at meets where other squads run their JV group?
York sat out their top 4 (Driggs, Smith, Schact, and Cecil), and their 5-8 ran 15:12, 15:19, 15:22, 15:23, which is about what was expected, and shows that they are the deepest team in the state through 7 (though Neuqua is close).
Loyola did run great though, and showed that they have the best top 3 in the state (14:35, 14:42, 14:45), a very good 4 (15:05), and a 5 (15:39) that, though below average for a team of their caliber isn't far enough back to really kill them. Based on this race and Woodruff, Loyola looks to be very even with Neuqua, though both are probably a little back of York. Things will get a little clearer when York runs a full varsity squad at Palatine.
