The Freshmen explode onto the scene in their first competition of the season. Caden Wolfe makes his debut by winning the 800 (2:15.87) and placing 4th in the 1600 (5:01.74). Jack Radtke placed 3rd in the 800 (2:17.42) and 7th in the 1600 (5:15.55). The surprise of the day came from freshman basketball player, Jay O'Reilly, running 2:24.33 in the 800 after only TWO days of practice. Awesome job by Coach Freivogel's crew. How many Freshman distance records will be broken this season??
1:35.44 is FOUR SECONDS faster than last week. Currently IL#13, this time is especially impressive since it was done on a 178m track and without our FS 100m School Record holder, Jaden Michel (11.00). Jaden is 1-2 weeks away from returning from a hip injury. Welcome back Brendan Kelly, who lead off our State Qualifying 4x2 last year, leading off with an impressive 24.4 split (leadoff splits are typically one full second slower than the others because no running start). Corey Alexander goes OFF running a 22.0 split, holding off one of the state's top sprinters from Plainfield South, Brian Stanton. Tony Ryan (24.7) and Kenny Carter (24.1) continue to impress in their first year running the event.Â
2022 At Plainfield South: 1:37.25
2023: At Plainfield South: 1:35.44
In a school with no fieldhouse and limitted gym space, throwing into a gym-dividing curtain a few times a week is the only way our throwers can practice actually throwing the shot put. No problem.
Our top two varsity throwers:
Tommy Barrett
2022 PR: 41-5
Last Week: 45-5
Plainfield South: 47-5
Michael Tarasiewicz

Awesome work by Coach Garbrecht and the entire Throws Crew. 10/15 threw PRs!
