On a beautifully cool & crisp day at Katherine Legge Memorial Park, the Sandburg boys did battle with some of the best teams in the State of Illinois.
After a moderate 800 meter start, only sophomore Tom Brennan decided to rev things up. Working his way thru the pack, Tommy ran most of the race in the top 10 before fading a little in the last 400 meters to finish in 12th place overall with a time of 15:02.
As the Downers North duo surged to lead and the Hinsdale Central team packed it up near the front, the Sandburg group never really got it going today. Senior Will Becker made a late surge to finish in 17th place in 15:08. Junior Greg Burzinski was next in 15:14, good for 27th place. Senior Harry Becker was our 4th finisher in 30th place (15:19) and sophomore Sean Torpy wrapped up the scoring in 34th place (15:29).
Sophomore Chris Torpy was right behind Sean in 35th place in a time of 15:30 and fellow soph Dan Laskero closed it out in 41st place in 15:37.
Overall, the Eagle placed 4th at the Sectional and qualified for the State Meet for the 11th year in a row.
Here are the complete results.
