Downers Grove North Treks to 2nd Place in State

One tick of the clock separated the DGN Trojans from a first place team finish in the IHSA boys cross country final. The team took home 2nd place overall in IHSA Class 3A.

Downers Grove North boys country country took care of business Saturday, Nov. 9, dominating the IHSA state course in 1:15.01—a heartbreaking second off the first place time, nabbing second overall as a team.

Hinsdale Central eked by the Trojans, with a time of 1:15:00 on the fairly flat,  3-mile course at Detweiller Park near Peoria. 

Zack Smith and Ryan Clevenger finished 3rd and 7th respectively, to lead the Trojans on the day. DGN's Marc Mathy finished in 34th overall.  Jeremy Craven finished in 68th; Jared Spilky in 77th, Zac Christensen in 114th, and Jack Diamond in 184th.
