Boys Cross Country Captures Sectional Team Title, advances to Detweiller Saturday, the Mahomet-Seymour High School Boys XC Team competed at Lake Land College in Mattoon in the IHSA 2A #1 Sectional. There was one girls varsity race at noon followed by a boys varsity race at 1:00pm. Top 7 teams qualify for the state meet. Top 10 individuals not on a qualifying team also qualify for the state meet. 28 teams competed, with 18 being full teams (at least 5 runners). There were 140 individual finishers. The team placed 1st with 97 points, beating out Taylorville (2nd, 130 points) and Civic Memorial (3rd, 140 points) for the title. In the 56-year history of the program, this is our 9th time winning the sectional meet. The last time we won was in 2021. It is our 20th time qualifying for the state championship. Our scorers were Adam Smigielski (8th), Auggie Gaudio (12th), Tay Gergen (15th), Henry McMurry (31st), and Tate Bode (35th). Top 10 medaled, earning All-Sectional honors. We had one medalist--Adam Smigielski (8th). We keep records of the fastest individual and team times for MSHS at this meet. It should be noted that the location of the meet changes every year.
