![]() Only twice, in 19, did the team score points from more than one person. Since 1964 when Ignatius first competed in the IHSA meet, we’ve only even scored in relays twice, 19. But in the tightly bunched field, the sixth place team is just 1.7 seconds ahead. All of our boys think they can run faster.ĭunham, Reardon, Kampe, and Gibson also combined to finish second in the sectional 4×400 to qualify in 3:23.99, a time which ranks them 21 st in a field of 26. We think we are a medal contender in this event. Senior Sean Kampe was outkicked on the final straightaway by Jamison Dale of Jones College Prep, but his leg was a strong one at 1:56.9. Gibson ran 1:58.5 on the second leg, and junior Chris Korabik moved the team to second place with his 1:59.4. Senior Andrew Reardon ran 2:00.3 for the first leg, chasing a Lane Tech team which won the sectional race wire to wire. Junior Chris Korabik, senior Andrew Reardon, senior Elliot Gibson, and senior Sean Kampe will run for a medal in the 4×800 at the IHSA state championships. His better event is actually the triple jump, but his third place jump of 44-09.5 at the sectional missed the state meet automatic qualifying standard by a half inch. He finished second to qualify in the long jump at 21 feet and 6.25 inches, as well, but that makes him the last qualifier among 31 at the state meet. Hawkins bettered 15 seconds for the first time when he finished second behind Dunham at the sectional in 14.98 seconds. Our final individual qualifier is junior Chris Hawkins in the 110-hurdles and the long jump. Gibson is also a key member of our 4×800 relay team. He was cleared to compete, but his training has been limited. Point tenderness on his right shin gave us a scare two weeks ago, and an MRI showed a small stress fracture beginning. He has cleared better heights, including a 14-foot practice vault. ![]() Senior Elliot Gibson cleared 12 feet and 9 inches to win the pole vault at the sectional. But the 300s are his better event, and he has hopes for a medal with the number eight seed time of 39.43. He is our school record holder in the 110s, after his 14.68 seconds effort at the sectional. Junior Conor Dunham qualified in the 110-meter hurdles and the 300-meter hurdles. Junior Conor Dunham is seeded eighth in te 300 hurdles at the 3A IHSA state meet after his sectional win in a time of 39.43. Our team qualified five individual boys in seven events at the 3A Saint Ignatius Sectional for which we were the host at Concordia University in River Forest, IL, last Thursday, May 16. Tomorrow we drive to Charleston, Il, and the campus of Eastern Illinois University, where our Saint Ignatius boys track team will compete on a newly resurfaced track–and where they will try to make some history. Both events include a lot of time with nothing to do, it seems, in the dorm and hotel rooms-and lots to think about, perhaps, late in the night or early in the morning. It has been true in the past, however, that state meets-both cross country and track-have been occasions where I’ve found both the inclination and the time. Not sure why, but it has not been a good spring for me in terms of blogging. Brad Kellar said.Junior Chris Hawkins qualified for the IHSA 2013 state championships in the long jump at the 3A Saint Ignatius sectional held at Concordia University with a personal best jump of 21 feet and 6.25 inches.
