Western took the top team spot with a time of 55:39 in the Northwestern combo 3K at Oakbrook Valley.

“I think this is the 12th time in a row we’ve won, which is nice,” Western coach Gary Jewell said. “It’s a good start for us. We’ve got a really young team and it was good to see them all step up.”

A total of three races took place, one for Nos. 1 and 2 runners, another for Nos. 3 and 4 runners, and a third for Nos. 5, 6 and 7 runners.

Tipton’s Brody Brock had the top overall time at 10:44. He was first in the 1-2 race, Eastern’s Brayden Richmond won the 3-4 race (10:53), and Western’s Joseph Packard took first in the 5-6-7 race (11:25).

Northwestern’s Lauren Longshore logged the top overall finish with a time of 12:19 in the 3K Northwestern combo meet at Oakbrook Valley.

Mac earned the top team score at the event with a 66:37, which was tallied from the five fastest times from each team.

“I want to thank Gary Jewell and Oakbrook Valley allowing us to have the meet out there with construction going on at Northwestern,” Tigers coach Dave Stevens said. “It was a good first race. Very hot and very humid but Lauren Longshore did an outstanding job winning the race.”

A total of three races took place, one for Nos. 1 and 2 runners, another for Nos. 3 and 4 runners, and a third for Nos. 5, 6 and 7 runners.

Longshore won the 1-2 race, Western’s Megan Hampshire won the 3-4 race (13:17) while the Panthers’ Emma Marley won the 5-6-7 race (13:46).
