McHenry and Fox River Grove middle school girls cross country teams won sectional meets Saturday to qualify for the IESA State Meet on Oct. 13 at Maxwell Park in Normal.

McHenry won the Class 3A sectional it hosted by posting personal best times for six of its runners. The improvements were by a significant amount, Trojans coach Kevin Horst said.

“I thought their potential was high, but I hadn’t seen their best,” Horst said. “It’s always great to finish the season where you have one race where they put it all together.”
