    Illini Track & Field, Cross Country 2026

    Think we can win it if our triple jumpers, 800m runner, and relay teams come thru. Star long jumper Sophia Beckmon needs to have a big day - she is in the 100m finals and the 4 x 100 relay. Big surprise is Grace Kombetto, who ran the fastest 800 meters in qualifying yesterday.

    Can one of us be in charge of hanging Wagler's jersey in the SFC? I'm 66, out of shape with poor eye sight, but I have not or ever been an employee of the University or the SFC. So I gotta believe I'm overqualified.
