Christopher is a first year high school cross country runner.  Son of  John and Carolyn Williams.
    As a sophomore, we were fortunate enough to get Christopher to join our team.  Christopher ran junior high cross country for three years and brough that experience with him.  His experience shows as he was able to handle the jump to racing 3 miles and the toughest workouts that we offer.  In his first high school race, Christopher finished within 4 seconds of his older brother John. Christopher made his way onto the News-Gazette prep cross country leaders in September.  Christopher went on to run a lifetime best at the Springfield Invitational with a time of 23:42.  Christopher helped his team win the open race for the 2nd year in a row.  Christopher had the biggest improvement of the day for our team at the East Peoria Invitational.  He had a lifetime personal best of 21:20.  This was a 2 minute and 22 second improvement which was our biggest improvement between races of the season for any of our runners.  Christopher ran his 2nd fastest time at the Metamora Invitational.  He ran a great time of 22:17.  Christopher won our team's clydesdale award for the 2012 season.  He had the fastest time for any runner that met the criteria.  This is a respected award given at most road races and also on our team each year.
