Edwardsville cross country coach George Patrylak said he was pleased with the way his ladies performed in the warm conditions.

“You throw the times out the window when it is this hot, look at the efforts and hope everyone makes it in OK,” he said. “We were pretty pleased overall. This was the first time Abby (Korak) has run this race and I thought she did well when you throw in the heat. Our two through seven pack was together. Julianna always runs here. Julianna probably had the best race of all of our runners and I thought all of our runners ran well.”
