Plainfield North over Plainfield South 55-64 with O’Fallon at 80, Viger/Maloney go 1-2 individually, Czerwinski 3, Ybarra and Thoman 4-5, Stahl 6. 39 second split on 5 runners and 6 in the top 21 for North, 58 second split on 5 for South, 59 seconds for O’Fallon. Gavin Borger back in South’s lineup, was their 6th man today off of pretty minimal training, another week and he could make a big difference at state (and at NXR after that). Edwardsville, Lincoln-Way Central, Yorkville, and Oswego East also all qualify.

DGN dominates with 49 points, Lyons second with 120, 17 points between 3rd and 6th as Naperville Central, Neuqua Valley, Sandburg, and Riverside-Brookfield all qualify, Hinsdale Central makes it through in 7th. Bandukwala over Close by 1 second, Eddington in third then Marrs and Henning round out the top 5. 6 in the top 23 for DGN, just a 24 second split on 5 runners. Caden Weber is back in their lineup after having not raced since First to the Finish, solid return race, 15th place and their #4 runner overall. DGN has 4 runners who all have a great shot at All State, even if it’s unlikely for all 4 to make it.
