It was the best race I have ever run in my life, Sikkenga said of his 13.93. He became the 15th in state history to win as many as three events in a single year. His 1998 triple jump best of 51-7 ranked second in the nation. I am not disappointed about not breaking any records, Moore said. I am very proud with three gold medals.
People really don t understand how hard it is to participate in more than one event.
The Flyers 49 points were two more than Elmhurst York. IHSA record-setting 400 relay, which ran 41.47. The old mark of 41.7 was shared by five schools and first set by the 1975 East St. Louis Senior foursome of Stanley Braggs, Richard Townsend, Lamar Pickett and Marvin Edmonds. Moorman s relay partners were Nathan Ryndak, Pat Condon and John Reeves. A lot of people counted us out and we showed that we came to compete, Moorman said.
