PEORIA - Edwardsville’s girls faced some tough competition in Saturday’s IHSA State Cross Country Meet at Peoria.
Edwardsville’s girls were 24th out of 25 in the IHSA state race.
Coach George Patrylak said the girls race started dramatically fast and the Tigers' Abby Korak was in contention for All-State, when she started to have physical difficulties.
Korak, the Tigers’ top female runner, received some medical attention after her race and struggled at the end, Coach Partylak said. The coach said he was glad she was OK, but for a moment it was scary watching her.
