Nick Fehr laced up the racers and put together a personal best for the 8K distance, no where better to put together that 27:48 than on on the famous Detweiller Park course along the Illioinis River north of the city of Peroria, Illinois. The Blue Devils racing without number 2 runner Nick Zwilling, got a much needed effort from Christian Rees with a time of 30.07. Freshman Jack Shelton had a great day running the distance in 30:15. Daniel Obernuefemann continues to get better with a time of 31:05. The 5th counter was Ostin Habeck in a time of 32:31. Owen Huelsmann had personal best time of 33:22 as did Tejas Zala in 34:38. "We saw a lot of improvement today, we saw the effort we have been looking for. Shelton had a steady race, his mile splits were all about the same. Christian had good effort and we need Rees to help lead this team. Fehr's race was where we need him to be for this team to be successful. Hoping to have Zwilling back racing soon to help this team move foward. Lots of good things today"
