Neuqua Valley Men's Cross Country & Track and Field

Great crew out for the run today. It was great seeing everyone. We will pick a date for next year and do it again.

ATTENTION ALUMNI!!!

Coach Vandersteen is organizing an alumni run this Saturday - December 23rd, at 8:00 am, at Knoch Knolls. We would love to see you this weekend. Happy Holidays!

We capped off a successful season with our first awards banquet since COVID. Thank you to all the athletes and their parents for a great season!

A great day at state! 9th place as a team via a tiebreaker and 6th place overall for Zac!

Tomorrow at 2pm! Results: https://results.adkinstrak.com/meets/28816

4th at sectionals and headed to state!

Beautiful morning for a group run before cheering on the guys at sectionals. Waterfall Glen never disappoints, especially in the Fall! 🍂

Next Up: Sectionals tomorrow at Katherine Legge Park in Hinsdale

Another handicap race in the books. This year's top finishers were Vic (1), Jorge (2) and Ishant (3). Thanks again to the Duncan family for their annual contributions! And thanks to parents for donating the post-race food!

Regionals champs!

The top 14 had a surprise maintenance mile at the end of today's workout. Some fast times and even a PR! Meanwhile, everyone else did our annual scavenger hunt across south Naperville. Winning teams enjoyed Jet's pizzas as they watched the top 14 gut it out.

As Sam would say "It's a great day to be a wildcat!" Lots of great races today at the Gary Goss Fresh-Soph Invite!

The Varsity takes 5th today at the Richard Spring Invitational in Peoria. A great day with a ton of PR’s. Definitely headed in the right direction!

Needless to say: we had fun out there today! 🌧️ ☔

It was a great day to kick off race season on our home course! Varsity finished 3rd today in a very strong field with Zac leading the way in 14:15 (2.9). F/S finished 2nd with Garrett finishing 2nd overall in 11:00 (2.1). Red Devil Invite next Saturday. Photo cred: Lance Fuhrer

With school starting this week it's even more important to get to bed on time. Sleep plays a massive role in recovery and injury prevention!

Tomorrow at 7am we begin the 2023 season!

Another successful camp!

Not everyday do we have our 2 fastest All State Wildcats in school history on the same track!

Myles Gascon c/o 2018 (right) sits NVHS #1 in the 100 (10.64) and #2 in the 60. (7.10)

Austin Belle c/o 2023 (left) sits NVHS #1 in the 60 (6.90) and #2 in the 100 (10.70)

So much speed in one picture.

👀 I see a H2H race in the future to see who’s really the fastest!
