-- Milesplit Illinois (@MilesplitIL) November 7, 2015No. 8 ranked Jon Davis of Oakwood clocked the sixth-fastest time ever recorded at Detweiller Park with 13:59.3 over three miles to win the Class 1A title in the first boys' race of the day. The senior stands only behind a list of all-time greats [as noted below] with his career-first sub-14 minute clocking and third consecutive Class 1A cross country crown.
Davis is clearly the king of Illinois, but the Class 3A race may have been the most highly anticipated of the day. No. 25 ranked Kevin Salvano took the individual title in that race in 14:20, as Charlie Kern, Jr. ran 14:22 for runner-up honors.
Make some room in the Hall of Fame. The Illinois State Cross Country Championship trophy is coming home to Sandburg.
