The annual twilight invite at Naperville North is a race that everyone looks forward to each year. The Wildcats from Neuqua Valley has won the race 4 years in a row and they look to continue that trend as the gun goes off to begin the race!
The Race
First mile in and it’s still a tight race early on. Naperville North’s Jake Allen and Wildcat Nicholas Dovalovsky lead the pack and are neck and neck
Midway through and Allen and Dovaovsky are in stride still. Naperville Central also has a strong group near the front of the pack, lead by Arthur Graham.
Nearing the final mile on the turn, Allen starting to pull away, but not too much as Dovaovsky is still kicking near on his heels.
The Finish
Coming down the stretch is Allen with no one behind him, finishing in 14 minutes, 43 point 9 seconds. Dovalovsky coming in second. Naperville Central however, stuck as a pack and had the most kids finish near the top to take first place as a team in the Twilight Invite!
