Pirate Competitor of the Week – Andrew Richardson Boys Track
Andrew competed at the Illinois Top Times Indoor State Championship on Saturday. The top 15 runners in Class 2A qualified in the 3200. Andrew ended up finishing 8th receiving all state honors, running 9:43, and breaking our school record by 8 seconds. His time is also the fourth fastest in the history of the NUIC Conference. Coach Michael Eyres said, “Andrew went from it straight from the gun and was in the back of the lead pack through halfway. He came through the first mile in 4:43 which was almost a mile PR and then hung on to the chase pack to still finish strong. He is still fairly new to this type of running, and this experience will help him greatly come outdoor season. Drews consistent hard work continues to pay off.”

He has been working hard this season and even did some preseason work this fall to analyze questions to determine areas of study for our team’s Google Classroom. I am proud of his dedication.”
