“We have a great crew that, even in the distance and sprints, they push each other,” said Tiger coach Camilla Eberlin. “They're working with each other to make each other better; they're going to come off their race and congratulate each other from the get-go, so I like that about them. They're very teammate-oriented and they work with each other.

“The two-mile (3,200 meters), we had all four runners (the JV and varsity race was held at the same time) up there for quite a few laps pushing each other.” Jaycie Hudson (11:31.68) and Abby Schrobilgen (11:39.76) finished 2-3 in the event, while Hannah Stuart (11:53.06) and Julianna Determan (12:04.78) took 1-2 in the JV race.

Edwardsville's 4x800 relay has also been a strong event this season; the Tigers took first in the race, with the team of Elise Krone, Maddie Miller, Melissa Spencer and Abby Korak winning the race in 9:50.91. “We've run a lot of girls through it; we've mixed and changed to see what we're going to go with for our (IHSA Class 3A) sectional lineup, and that's coming soon (next Friday at Belleville West).”

Edwardsville's other top performances were turned in by the 4x400 relay of Rachel Kubicek, Vegher, Jaydi Swanson and Cashdollar, finishing fourth in 4:04.10.and a third by Savannah Maloney in the shot put (35-4) and fourth in the discus throw by Maloney (106-3.5).
