The boys race was won by the Eagles with 22 points, with the Shells having 44, while Roxana won the girls race 20-35.
In the boys race, Roxana's Carlos Ruvacalba won over the three-mile course with a time of 17:27, with CM's Aslan Henderson second at 18:24.

She was later taken to hospital for treatment of heat exhaustion, and is currently day-to-day.

HOCKEY
EDWARDSVILLE RETURNS TO MVCHA FOR 2020-21 SEASON DUE TO COVID-19 CONCERNS: The Edwardsville hockey team, citing IHSA restrictions and concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic, will return to the Mississippi Valley Club Hockey Association for the 2020-21 season after having played four seasons in the St. Louis-based Mid-States Club Hockey Association.
The Tigers, who went 14-8-2 and won the MSCHA Suburban Division last season, have enjoyed success in the MSCHA, having played in the St. Louis Blues Challenge Cup playoffs, the league's top tier, in each of their four years in the league, advancing to the semifinals in their first year before losing to perennial power CBC. Edwardsville was the only Metro-East team in the MSCHA, and played all-St. Louis area schools at the East Alton Ice Arena, and at various arenas in the St. Louis area.
Both the MSCHA and MVCHA are uncertain when play will start, and what kind of guidelines will be in place for play during the upcoming season. If things change, there is the possibility that the Tigers could rejoin the MSCHA in time for their season. Both seasons regularly begin in early November, and end in early- to mid-March with the league finals.
