IVC races in Prairie Central Invite

The Illinois Valley Central cross country team headed to Prairie Central Saturday for the Prairie Central Invite.

The boys team came in first, beating Gardner-South Wilmington by a score of 29-36.

“That was the first time that Gardner-South Wilmington has been beaten all year,” coach Mike Themas said.

Ryan Greskoviak came in third for the Ghosts and Dusty Seckler finished fifth.

The girls team finished third with a score of 103.

“There were six different races at the meet,” Themas said. “We had 19 runners and 15 of those earned a medal.

“The course was muddy. It was windy and cold.

“Our times weren’t our best but we did a nice job of competing.”

IVC was scheduled to run at home Tuesday.

The Ghosts next race at 10 a.m. Monday at Amboy High School.
