I doubt Trent Hoerr is going to read this, but good job at Nationals. Trent Hoerr, of Morton, IL, finished 16th at the NCAA D1 National Cross Country Championships this afternoon at Indiana State University. He ran 10k in 30:07 and is the first male U of I runner to earn All-American honors since Len Sitko in 1990. He is also the highest finisher for the Illini since Craig Virgin won the last of his titles.
Trent is a Peoria Journal Star Area Runner of the Year who improved enough every year of high school to place 18th at the Class AA state CC meet in 14:54 as a senior. He also placed tenth at the Foolocker CC Midwest Regional that year. Going from a 14:54 PR for three miles to 16th place at Nationals in five years is a great accomlishment and is a testament to his talent, tenacity, work ethic and coaching.
Good job Trent!

Illinois' cross country coach is now Wendel McRaven, a graduate of my alma mater, North Central College. I think he'll do very well there.
