York senior traveled to San Diego for cross country championships.
York High School senior Scott Milling followed a ninth-place regional finish in the Foot Locker Cross Coutry Championships with a top-30 mark in Saturday's National Final.

"My goal was to get All-American, but 27th was a good finish for me since I was ninth in my region." Milling told the website the course at Balboa Park in San …

Dukes senior Jack Driggs finished the 5-K Foot Locker Cross Country National Finals at San Diego's Morley Field in 15:29. It was a "one-of-a-kind" end to a stellar cross country career.
York senior Jack Driggs finished 13th at the Foot Locker Cross Country National Finals Saturday afternoon at Morley Field in San Diego. He finished the 5-K run in 15:29, but he said he came out running too hard. "Everyone was fighting from the beginning," Driggs said. "It was a pack through the first mile." Orland Hills native and Carl Sandburg High School senior Lukas Verzbicas won the national title for the second consecutive year. He crossed at 14:59. Driggs, whose goal was to finish in the Top 10, said he underestimated the course's "gigantic" hill. Runners had to take it on twice, and on the second pass, Driggs struggled. Driggs hung at the back of the first chase group throughout the race, moving between 10th and 15th place. …

Driggs pays a visit to Lincoln School Monday to run with the Running Club.
York Cross Country hero Jack Driggs paid a visit to Lincoln Elementary School in Elmhurst Monday to give students in the school's running club some tips and share what it was like winning the state championship. Driggs, who placed second overall at the state meet Nov. 6 with a time of 14:16, was honored to run with the kids. "I just thought it would be a good way of giving back to the community," he said. "I know some of the kids that went here, and I graduated from (Lincoln) myself. It's a lot of fun to be back here and see a couple of kids that I know. It's good stuff." And from the looks of things, his visit went a long way toward planting the seeds for future cross country runners at York. "Hi guys!," he said after being announced. "I…

PEORIA—Jack Driggs and his York teammates were changing into white tuxedos for the awards presentation at Peoria's Detweiller Park Saturday afternoon when Driggs heard a loud roar outside from the gathering of students, parents and other supporters who had made the trip. That was all the confirmation he and the Dukes needed to assure they ended what had been for the storied York boys cross country program a long, four-year drought between state championships. York edged Lake Zurich 162-164 to claim the Class 3A title. It is the 27th state crown, all won under the guidance of legendary coach, 81-year-old Joe Newton, who couldn't have been happier savoring the moment among a crowd of well-wishers and reporters following the awards ceremony…
