2007 Team Roster

Six women and nine men make up the 2007 ICC cross country teams. A strong nucleus of sophomores return with the addition of some promising freshmen.

The Region 24 champion women's team returns four sophomores - Sam Conlee (Dunlap), Kelsey Holsapple (Metamora), Marissa Menke (Peoria), and Coaches Association All-American Hannah Griffin (Metamora). They are joined by freshmen Darci Knapp (Eureka) and Tiffany Golden (Spring Valley).

The men's team returns five sophomores, including 4 of the top 6 runners from last year. They are Joe Klumb (Trivoli), Scott Perry (Metamora), Carl Pflederer (Tremont), Justin Phillis (Morton), and Hank Stickelmaier (Groveland). Joining them are freshmen Michael Donini (Henry), Billy Miller (Metamora), Nick Reed (Bartonville), and Ansel Wachter (Peoria Heights).

Despite the recent heat, the teams have been working hard and seem focused on having a great season.

2007 ICC Cross Country Schedule

The 2007 ICC cross country teams will take on their most ambitious schedule ever with three major invitationals in the month of September, and culminating at nationals, held in downstate Illinois. The women's team will be out to defend their titles of the Augustana, Benedictine, and Sauk Valley Invitationals, as well as the Region 24 championship. The men seek to defend their Sauk Valley title and to improve on their 3rd place at regionals. Both teams will strive to better their 11th (women) and 15th (men) place finishes at last year's nationals. Two new meets will be run this year - The Elmhurst College Early Bird Invitational and the Illinois Intercollegiate Meet. No home meets will be run this year due to road and parking lot construction on the ICC North campus.
