Varsity Escapes with Rock River Run Title, Malone Surges to Seal Win


They thought they had us. The Foxes wanted it badly, after we stole the final NIBXII  crown last fall. Our pair of aces held firm, and the team picked up the “W” in a new way.

Adams defeated the 1A individual favorite to earn individual honors at 15:33. Occhipinti took fourth overall at 15:52 on the muddy course. Dallal was next to the line in 8th with a :48 course PR. Walker was running across next at 16:19, good for 10th.

While completing “Peak Week” our team looked banged up and  worn down. Surging through the final mile to catch other #5s, Parker Malone took on a new role for the team. We beat Yorkville 48-51.

Nolan Allen pushed for 35th overall at 17:07. Nosek outleaned Durbala at 17:14, with Ethan Neal coming in :06 later. Lodwig was the tenth Knight in the top 48 runners overall, with a :07 course best.
Fountain splashed through the puddles en route to 87th (18:39), with Marcus Ramos posting a new career best time of 18:55. Johnson was under the weather but refused to let it stop him from running a course best 20:26. Evans was next to finish with a career best (:17) mark.

Johnston kept chugging through three surges and pushed past pain for a huge course best race at 21:50. Lindow did exactly the same, and put up a career best 22:14. Brazee, another runner who could have sat out but suited up and raced his best for Kaneland finished the day at 23:28.

On the Frosh Soph side, our team was missing a couple ingredients, but still stepped up with solid efforts and some career best times. Considering we had a fast day in Peoria a few weeks ago, this was nice to see! Cunz equaled his Eddington time and earned the 24th medal. Trevor Neal ran a PR in 39th. Bruhl moved up the depth chart to be the third scorer, with a :48 career PR. Smith also snipped :19 off his previous best for 19:24. Fiedler finished the scoring at 20:23 with a :53 course best.

Lechocki was next up to the line in 20:32, passing many through the final two miles. Hwang set a course best at 21:27, with Nick Allen doing the same at 22:31. Casey Walters ran a new career best by 1:44, showing he LOVES the muddiest days best. Gannon had an inspiring kick to the finish, completing our unusual and historic day, at 25:52. Let’s get healthy and faster!
