You've got St Xavier and Brentwood ranked 8th and 9th. St X was beaten by Lake Zurich, Il and Brentwood by several Illinois teams at the Palatine Invite. LZ is significantly behind Downers Grove and Lyons Twp in Illinois but you have all 3 well behind St X and Brentwood.

JFleck: We have seen some significant improvement in St. X since that September meet. There pack has moved up and they have a chance to be competitive at the national level. The Brentwood team you are referring to that ran at Palintine is actually a private school in Tennessee, Brentwood Academy, not the Brentwood High School we have ranked #9. Neither St. X or Brentwood High is in our top tier of 7 mentioned above, both have vulnerabilities. I agree Downers Grove North will give them a run if they all make it to NXN. The back of the lineup of Lyons was exposed during the Illinois State meet and Lake Zurich profiles much like Brentwood with great runners upfront and a large team split. Right now I think the top of the lineup of Brentwood is better than that of LZ.

The facility is still there. if you Google Map "O'Brien Lake, WI" and go to satellite view you can see the buildings and everything. I don't know if it's used anymore.

I was at Camp Olympia in 1969,because I remember leaving Chicago and the Cubs had a 8game lead and after 2 weeks coming back and the Cubs were 8 games in second,some real choke artists. Remember running around the lake each morning,running a marathon,and the mile time trial on gravel

,and then making all state in both cross country and track,meeting my future college coach gary wieneke and having a great time,is the place still in existence?

Went to the first Camp Olympia in WI in 1968, then we voted to stay in Elmhurst the next summer, then we went back in 1970. The camp was much tougher because of the terrain but there were also runners from all over the country there and they wanted to race and beat York no matter what. Some of them were real assholes too. We took a lot of abuse but when they ran the mile time trial (on a rolling gravel road) we placed something like 4 guys in the top 12 of the entire camp and that shut them up for the rest of the week. That made it actually enjoyable.
