The Beatles
It was great to be back at Midlothian Meadows on a beautiful Saturday morning for the 2023 IHSA Regional Meet hosted by Marist HS. Except for a couple of slippery/muddy sections, the course was in pretty decent shape. And the Sandburg boys were ready to race!
After positioning himself with the front pack, Grant Giblin steadily pulled away to an 8 second victory and finished as the Regional champion in 15:16. Junior Luke Atzman ran very consistently and came thru in third place with a time of 15:33. Following closely behind him was sophomore Mateo Ramiro-Garcia who grabbed 4th place in 15:39. Freshman Brayden Gaffud continued his magical first season with a sixth place finish in 15:50. Junior Jack Easterhouse was our fifth finisher in 16:23, good for 12th place. Sophomores Myles Jacquez (16:40, 16th place) and Jackson Canellis (16:58, 24th place) closed things out for the Eagles.
This week the Eagles will move on to the Hinsdale Central Sectional at Katherine Legge Memorial Park where they will race against some of the top teams in the State. The top 7 teams there will move on to the IHSA State Finals at Detweiller Park in Peoria.
Go Eagles!
