Track is good for football players and many gridders excel on the oval. This is their story.

IL has five dudes at 10.40 or below. This is the fastest season I can ever remember. Top three times are from Juniors, led by Bennett Konkey of Geneva, who has seen his football stock explode after posting 10.25 15 days ago. Seems like a new offer comes in daily now, per his X.com account.

Notably, MJC has yet to post, nor have the other Flyers football burners yet.

Speaking of Texas, three of the top 5 100s have been turned in down there - 9.88, 9.95, and 10.02. FLA has the other two spots - 10.08 and 10.05.

Konkey follows up with a 10.41 and 21.00 - both all-time county meet records. Dude's stock has EXPLODED since his 10.25.

I forgot his name, but the LWE athlete who had a monster race as a sophomore coasted that to D1 - Konkey dropped the Donkey Hammer going into his senior year. Each is/will be rewarded greatly for a few foot races.

Track matters!

Damn shame ESL is 2A and Geneva 3A - would be cool to see him and MJC on the track side-by-side.

MJC and Laron Baker JR. to rep East Side in the 100 at state, MJC did not run the relays - I assume he was an alternate with Jahmori Ware, Raheem Floyd, Ronnie GoMiller and Baker Jr. posting decent qualifying times of 42.99 and 1.29.99. Each will play D1 football.

Logan Abrams leads Cary-Grove to second place at Class 3A Antioch Sectional

Cary-Grove's Logan Abrams was a double-winner in the shot put and discus at the Class 3A Antioch Sectional, while teammate Jameson Tenopir captured a title in the 1,600. C-G, McHenry, Crystal Lake Central and Huntley will all send individuals to state next weekend.

Illinois State University-bound Cary-Grove senior Logan Abrams easily won discus (58.04 meters) and shot put (20.15 meters). Abrams’ monster shot put was the eighth-best mark in the country and second best in the state for the 2025-26 season, while his discus mark ranked third best in Illinois.

“I’m very happy to come out with a double PR in shot and disc was huge, and I finally broke my school record in the shot put,” said Abrams, fifth at state last year in the shot put. “I’m hoping to come out with firsts in both events [at state], but I will have some tough competition.”
