Down in Charleston the Illini had some great performances. Chadd Bobbit had two throws at 13.15m, . Lizzie Gauen had a good 400, running an indoor PR of 64.9. Matt ran a 23.2 in the 200, also setting an indoor PR for the season. On the distance side of things Henry Wolf and Joe Zeller both showed some great teamwork, working together to run 9:35 and 9:39, respectively. Alex lyons had a great race as well, running 4:24 for the mile.
Over in Kent, Ohio Mike Frigo smashed the club 3k record, running 8:23:59. Ryan Jorgensen had the race of the weekend, running 1:56.1 for 800m. On the womens side Thea Cudnowski ran a nice 2:28 for 800m.
Overall a good weekend for the Illini. Everyone will be running at Club Relays this upcoming weekend. Come to the Armory at 12pm on 12/25!
