The York girls cross-country team recently took eighth at the prestigious Palatine Invitational. Sarah May was 11th individually while Katherine Tomaska took 27th.
York also placed sixth at the recent Richard Spring Invitational in Peoria.
“We’ve improved at running as a pack and focusing on a strong, controlled first mile and pushing the second and third mile,” said York coach Lauren DeAngelis.
DeAngelis said her team has made the most out of its training time. “They are very goal-oriented and driven toward improving and running as a pack,” she said.
DeAngelis praised the work of May, Tomaska and Erin Davies. “Katherine, Sarah and Erin are the foundation of this team,” she said. “They have been great leaders and motivators for our young, talented team. They have been very solid all year as our first through third runners.”
DeAngelis feels York is headed in the right direction as conference s the IHSA postseason inches closer. “I believe the girls have been putting in a lot of hard work, dedication and determination into their training and the season,” she said. “I am looking forward to a strong showing from us at all levels at the West Suburban Conference meet to gain momentum moving into the postseason.”
