Stephanie Simpson - Another in the long line of Wildcat All-State Runners staked her claim at Detweiller Park in Peoria.  Stephanie ran a great race to finish 20th in the Class A girls race.  She got out good, and was in the front pack at the 800m mark (2:45) and was in top 10 at the mile (5:50), even though she was starting to struggle from the quick early pace.  At the 2 mile mark, she was in about 30th, and even at the 2.5 mile mark, she was still in 28th.  But she made a hard charge that last 800m, and especially up the final incline, passing a number or runners.   This is Stephanie's first All-State CC award, after taking home a 4th place medal last spring in track.  Congrats on a great weekend and year!
