Hinsdale Takes 5th at Sectional
Moore and Fayette Qualify for State At the sectional track meet, Doug Moore and Billy Fayette qualified for the state track meet in the 3200 meter run. The two harriers, who have been leaders for Hinsdale Central all season, ran together for much of the race, along with Mike Janusek of Lyons Township. The finish was dramatic as Moore outkicked Janusek and Fayette crossed the line just fractions of a second beneath the automatic state qualifying time of 9:33. The final results has Moore running a four second PR of 9:31.6, while Fayette broke the school sophomore record, which stood for 28 years, en route to a nine second PR of 9:32.7. Both runners will compete in the state finals this Saturday in Charleston, Illinois.
While no other Red Devil's qualified for the state meet, it was an outstanding day for the Devil's distance squad. Every single member of the Devil's distance team ran a PR! The 4x800 team of Fotis Pappas, Matt Tweardy, Alex Orton and Eric Olson ran a seasonal best by over five seconds and ran the fastest relay time of the Westphal/Kupres/Lawrence era, finishing third with a time of 8:08.2. Though this team of three seniors was disappointed to come so close to a state meet berth, these men have nothing to be ashamed of and very much of which to be proud. Junior Pappas ran a team and personal best of 2:01.3, Tweardy ran a lifetime PR of 2:01.7, Orton ran a great third leg in a PR of 2:02.5, and Olson anchored with his own PR of 2:02.6. It was a fitting end to a great career for Tweardy, Orton and Olson. At meets end, it was clear that the Devil's distance squad had represented well after finishing 3rd in the 3200 relay and placing two runners in the 800, 1600 and 3200. Sophomore Azad Darbandi won the first heat of the 800 in a lifetime best of 2:05.5 to finish fifth, and Olson ran a surprisingly strong second race to finish 6th in 2:05.6. Moore and Fayette came back in the 1600 and placed 4th and 5th to contribute six more points to the Red Devils, who finished 5th overall at the meet with 42 points. In both the 4x200 & 4x400 meter relays the Red Devil’s earned bronze medals. The 4x200 relay included senior Ivan Davis and juniors Vinnie Malik, Victor Twardarski and Chris Kiser. This quartet covered the distance in 1:32.7, which was a seasonal best. In a thrilling, yet heart-wrenching finale, the 4x400 relay finished an agonizingly few tenths out of 2nd place and just missed the qualifying standard. Victor Twardarski (52.6), sophomore Ben Cherry (51.9), Chris Kiser (51.7) and Ivan Davis (51.3) were in the mix all the way and competed well. This relay, too, ran a seasonal best of 3:27.5.

It has been a very successful season, with all members of the team improving immensely, and with the program beginning to garner respect among area competitors. To our seniors, thank you for your leadership and work ethic, and to the returning members of the team, let's keep the fire and keep the Devil's on an upward trajectory!

Devil's Run at Dual of Districts
Gold Medals for Darbandi, Cherry and Daleen
The Red Devil's tuned up for this Friday's West Suburban Conference Meet by competing at the annual Dual of the Districts this past weekend. The competition provides a rare opportunity for usual rivals Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South to join forces and compete against Downers Grove District 99. The highlights of the meet are the two "combined relays" in which two Hinsdale Central runners join two Hinsdale South runners to compete against a team featuring two Downers South runners and two Downers North runners. For District 86, the meet both started and ended with nail biting excitement.
In the first race of the evening, Senior Eric Olson dove across the finish line a mere .1 seconds in front of a runner from Downers Grove South to give the Hinsdale district the victory in the 4x800 meter relay. A short time later, Zach Withal crossed the line to bring District 86 a much less anxiety-inducing win in the Sophomore level 4x800. The 4x400 at the end of the meet also concluded in dramatic fashion, with Sophomore Connor Furlong taking his turn to dive across the finish line to bring District 86 yet another .1 second victory, this time in the 4x800. The Varsity team, alas, could not hold off an impressive Downers performance, becoming the one mixed relay not to emerge victorious.
In between these two exciting relays were a few major highlights for the Devil's in what was largely a low-key meet intended to provide an opportunity for Red Devil athletes to enter different events than they usually compete in. Ryan Daleen won his first race of the season in the 55 Low Hurdles, running 8.5. He was followed .1 seconds later by Mitch Green. Azad Darbandi easily won the 800 meter run, taking the lead early on and coasting to victory in 2:17.8. And Ben Cherry earned a win in the 400, circling the track two and half times in 57.4 seconds to edge out his competitor by fractions of a second.
On the Varsity level, no Hinsdale runners earned gold, but strong performances were turned in by Kyle Henshaw (2nd in the 3200 run in a personal best of 10:31), Jordan Cray (2nd in the 400 in 57.4), Ivan Davis (3rd in the 55 in 6.8) and Matt Tweardy (3rd in the 600 in 1:34.3, after running a leg on the winning 4x800 team).
