We had many season and personal bests, which is exciting as we want to be running our best at this time of year. With so many season and personal bests at Wauconda, we are firing on all cylinders heading into the NLCC meet. Earning season bests were: Ethan Schommer, Ty Dwyer, Jay Patel,  & Daniel Gfesser! Earning Personal Bests were: Gavin Murrie, Ethan Goode, Jacob Mueller, Ramon Perez, Ethan Carr, Evan Selby, Ian Halterman, Jackson Sayre, Jack LindnerGretchen Good, Kayla Dieringer, Sophia Goodale, Sarah Lucier, Danika Dortch, Lauren Orie, & Meghan Goossen.
