4th at Sectionals

4th 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 girls had a successful year and would have qualified for the state meet if one was held. Gabby Kics was the individual SPC champ. ShaZam Racing did host a high school championship after the IHSA season that Minooka girls were invited to. Competing under the name The Nook, the girls took 8th.
