Top qualifiers to compete at State Finals this weekend
Even small seeds can grow into a surprisingly strong crop. That is what the Deerfield High School boys’ track team will be looking for Friday and Saturday at the Illinois High School Association’s State Finals at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston.

The State Meet is every man for himself. If you are there you got a shot. We have been very lucky in past years to go down there and come home with medals.” “Seeding …
