Recruits quick in 800 and 4 x 8


ICC Cross Country recruits are showing their speed early in the track season as they are well represented in the boy's 800 PJS honor roll and the girl's and boy's 4 x 8 squads. Shane Leiby of East Peoria leads the list with his 1:59.8, while Kyle Lueken, Nick Leiby, and Cory Shoopman also made the honor list. Limestone, with Kyle leading off, heads the 4 x 8 with their quick 8:11.6 clocking. East Peoria's team, that includes both Leibys, also makes the list.

The girls are well represented on the 4 x 8, with Bonni Martin's (pictured) Eureka squad leading the pack with 9:51.3. Also making the list are Tremont, with Alyssa Imig, and the Peoria Richwoods squad, that includes Olivia Coker. Improving on her honor roll time in the 1600 was Morton's Brittany Carius, who clocked a 5:42.0 in less than favorable conditions.
With the competition, and, hopefully, the weather, heating up this week in some major invitationals, look for times to continue to drop.
