Maddie Denner of Oak Ridge CA gets spiked with 600m left in Girls 2 Mile but still wins. Needed 12 stitches. When you know what you want, you block out the pain. Good photo by @duffylduffy

87 years ago Hitler blamed everyone else for the Reichstag fire that his criminal gang set in order to tightened his grip on power. Again, history does repeat itself. We have an unstable "human" in the White House that expects loyalty but only cares about himself.

Happy for the way the IL runners ran this morning. Sad that I have lost a teacher, coach, mentor, friend. Everything that I learned from him is in my heart. He is Illinois XC. Thank you for the forever moments Mr. Newton.

Remember when Tommy Brady helped up Zach Kinne at state track last May? Brady fell with 10 meters left (ran the race sick) and got a pat of encouragement from Andrew O'Keefe. An idea of what XC is all about. Great photo by @DuffyLens

My senior year we had almost 3 weeks of meets cancelled due to bad weather. I was freaking out. The first race back dropped my PR in the 3200 by 20 seconds. Have faith. Good things are coming 👍.

An interview from last night gave me a great quote from Liam Newhart, the Boys race winner. "I was in a lot of discomfort, but I knew I could push it harder. Racing is about working through discomfort but also causing discomfort for others in the race.". SO TRUE!.

So how many times do we have to say we can't let this happen again? How many times have we repeated this phrase? The sick thing is, we will be probably saying it again and again and again. I wish it would stop. I wish someone will want to make it stop.
