As a freshman, Niko joined us with junior high cross country
experience. He showed right away that he has a lot of leg speed
and can handle the tougher high school workouts. He dedicated
himself this summer to get in shape and ran an impressive 300
miles. This is quite a large amount of miles for any high school
runner, but especially impressive as he did it his freshman year.
Niko joined our team's 300 mile club. Niko ran a solid first
race and finished with a time of 23:07 at the Charleston Invitational.
Niko made his way onto the
News-Gazette prep cross country leaders in September. Niko ran a
great race at
the Springfield Invitational. He ran a lifetime 2 mile best by
almost
3 minutes with a time of 14:04. He helped his freshman team win
the
freshman team championship trophy. Niko had our team's biggest
improvement at the Peoria Notre Dame Invitational. Niko cut off 1
minutes and 54 seconds from his best to run a new lifetime best of
21:13. This time was holding his 2 mile best from the week before
for an entire 3 mile race. He earned our team's most improved for
the week award. Niko ran a solid time at the East Peoria
Invitational with a time of 21:36. Niko ran his second fastest
time of the year at the Metamora Invitational with a 21:36. It
was great to see him running in the 21's again. Niko ran a 22:16
at the conference meet where he placed 5th in the open race. |
