Without a doubt the BEST book on Illinois gyms! I knew the photos were going to be great, but the history of each of these landmarks, makes it special! Exceeded my expectations!
Great job @VincentDJohnson

Great article by Denise Crosby. Mom of former Kaneland athletes and grandma of current Kaneland athletes!
Fix the track! 27 years without resurfacing. Unacceptable! change.org/p/prioritize-repl…

Current condition of Kaneland track. Hasn’t been resurfaced since 1997. Peterson Prep is being held at West Aurora! More updates to follow. @KHSBoysTrack @KHSGirlsTrack1 @WATrack_Field @dc_preps @kcchronicle @dhpreps @MileSplitIL @ILXCTF @ITCCCA
Been researching all results from the Illinois boys state track meet. Lots of interesting facts to decipher. One interesting fact. No school has had a winner in all 18 events. Evanston has come the closest. The only event they haven't won is the 1600!
