Lucky to have the best athletes in XC! Let’s go Shaylen, Addy, Georgia, and Lucas!!

Ottawa XC has their fourth girl to qualify for state!!! A huge 1 min course PR and top 25 finish!! Congratulations, Shaylen!

Ottawa's Shaylen Quinn, the Seneca girls team, Sandwich’s Sunny Weber, Somonauk’s Landin Stilwell and Fieldcrest’s Caleb Krischel all earned trips to next weekend's state meet in Peoria at Saturday's sectionals. shawlocal.com/illinois-valle…

Building on our tradition in a new year with a new state runner. And when you wear cookie @chicknlegsrunning shorts at sectional you have to go with cookies. It’s SWEET to go to STATE! #othsxc

Today’s recap. A great day for these 4 Pirates!! Lucas 81st 16:53.5 Addy 65th 20:17.6 Georgia 55th 19:52 Shaylen Quinn 25th 19:16.0 Each of them had a a great Saturday setting course PRs or SBs -all while doing it without a full team, I couldn’t be prouder of them!

Nothing better than racing on the last Saturday of the season! Run hard and have fun, Shaylen! #othsxc

An incredible day for Shaylen! In her last high school race she ran a 34 second three mile PR at the 2A State Meet! She now holds a spot as one of Ottawa’s best cross country runners, and only 1 of 4 Ottawa Lady Pirates to have run at the state meet. Congratulations, Shaylen!

Coaches, we need to talk. Why are you running your 15-year-olds like they’re in a D1 program? High schoolers thrive on: • Less mileage (they’re still growing). • Progressive paces (build speed gradually). • A love for racing (not endless grind sessions). But too many

Day 2 of getting up early during the summer to run / crazy sock day!!

Friday team bike ride!! A conditioning day, longest bike for many, and overall just a great day. ☕️ 🍦 🚲 🏴‍☠️

Congratulations Addyson Miller, Shaylen Quinn, and Madison Towne on signing to continue your athletic careers on the next level! We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see what you accomplish! #othsxcfamily
