Finally, a nice day for a track meet.
Local competitors have been running most of the spring in cold, rainy, sometimes miserable conditions, so temps in the 60s and sunny skies at Thursday's Lake County Invitational seemed like a blessing.
"For me, as a wheelchair athlete," said Duffin,"usually my rims will be pretty slick and I can't push. I'll be swimming pretty much because I can't get any traction, basically just going nowhere. "He's a hard working kid," said the coach of Duffin."He's a six-time state champion in the 100, 200 and 400, he's won that state series all three years. He comes out focused and knows what he needs to do."
Turner actually won the fifth and final heat, but was just out-finished by Matthew Brooks of North Chicago, who was first in heat 4 at 11.19."I had to come in prepared for the 100," said Turner,"because I knew there were some fast people out here. Turner said that it's a little poignant knowing his time on the high school team will soon be coming to an end. He'll be moving on to Iowa Western College in the fall, where he'll play football.
Warren was first in the 4x200; Jake Slavish of Vernon Hills was the victor in the 300 hurdles; while Trey Sato of GC won the 3200 in 9:22.94, and the 1600 in a time of 4:22.43.
