Maybe York will continue to be one of the best programs in the country. The level of competition in Illinois is off the charts and they had one down here. This year is going to be great in illinois. Makes me wish we had a month worth of Saturdays next week
Here is the explanation I received, I omitted names but they are credible. It makes sense and doesn't appear to reflect on the quality of the program and in fact enhances it.
"The t-shirts and magnet are “spirit” items. Sales are intended to be break even and any profit goes toward non IHSA trips (NXR)
Popcorn sales are for: The school provides a set budget for uniforms and warm-ups although with the size of the track and cross country teams, there’s always additional ones needed beyond.
We also have special uniforms for certain competitions as well as other items such as massage guns, foam rollers, power plate/recovery equipment, timing chips, team wristbands, pins as well as shirts, etc.
All money goes directly in the boys cross country account to be spent throughout the season on necessary items also for things that the boys want to do/get such as prizes and awards for achievements and winners of competitions within practices, donuts after morning practice or Gatorade‘s for big workouts
Overall, we’re just looking for additional ways to make the experience a positive one for every member of the program.
And we used to pay $0.25 for colored sugar water."
Everyone fundraisers for extra stuff nothing unusual
Which is why I posted the reply. However it does mention fundraiser dollars will go to uniforms if the budget is exceeded.

That was the hottest temperature i ever experienced at a race in my life. The HS boys heat index was still over 100. It would have been nice just to have a normal hot summer night and those kids would have impressed everyone. Undoubtedly Illinois is going to be fireworks this year!!!!!

Hey ...I was told this by someone connected to the York program and he was questioning it. And my school never did any fundraising. Why don't you get a life and shut your piehole.

Kehoe and Tobin are also new, who knows what they can do in a 3 mile race. Maybe someone else can have a chance to fight for the next spots. I dont know to much, but I do know York has a good handful of people who can fight for the last 2 spots.
Yeah Nalley pulled off a miracle was out all season with a major hamstring injury and some how came back in the last 4 weeks of running with a 9:16/4:20. His teammates are telling other runners in the state on social media that he looks better now than he ever did last year. I know he is close with the Benton coaches and runners so i’m sure Genisio will be right with him. What an exciting year to come.

York always seems to have people come out of nowhere
They have lots of depth it seems. I believe they had a freshman run 4:42, another junior run 4:42, overall it does seem to be looking good for the York Boys, or atleast better than last year...
