About this Article
The last 150 meters of the girls state cross country course at Detweiller Park is as imposing as it is unforgiving. But Victoria Clinton had more than enough cushion to conquer the closing stretch of the unnerving finish. The Kaneland sophomore, after creating separation from three fellow competitors of the girls Class 2A state meet Saturday morning, made history by becoming the first athlete, male or female, in school history to claim an individual state championship in the sport with her time of 16 minutes and 56 seconds.Latest Galleries
