The strong season finish came under the heels of a Warrior slump which made the second place even sweeter.

After Central, it was a wide open race. "I'm pleased. I thought the kids ran very well, especially after coming off not so good dual meets." The Tigers completely blew the whole field away with 177 1-3 points. McHenry scored 84 points and Cary- Grove was next with 81 1-3.
