Kittle won the 110 high hurdles in 14.79, just off the state-qualifying standard of 14.74. In the 300 hurdles, he ran 39.17, which is well under the state-qualifying mark of 39.84.

Idstein was 4 for 4 at the IHSA Class 2A Belvidere North Sectional, crossing the finish line first in every race she ran.

Idstein defeated freshman teammate Celeste Madda in the 100 and 200 meters.

She then anchored the Tigers’ winning 4x100 and 4x200 relays, in which Madda also ran.
