3rd in Conference
The 2020 season looked different thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing affected many decisions. The home course was moved to Central Campus for the season. Runners finished on the track. Most meets were dual meets in order to avoid large crowds. Invitationals were held in flights, and then times were combine after all flights ran. For the conference, teams competed in their division only. The IHSA did not schedule the state finals. Even the team picture was a composite of individual photos. The boys had a successful year, finishing third in the SPC West Division and second in the regional. They would have qualified for the state meet if one was held, after they finished second in the sectional. ShaZam Racing did host a high school championship after the IHSA season that Minooka boys were invited to. Competing under the name The Nook, the boys took 17th.
