Thats very impressive for a state meet anywhere, especially a state the size of illinois! Congrats to all, expecially Mitchell, who i now think has the highest (american) hieght for a junior in the nation this year!! Haha Nico doesnt count, because hes going back to Germany to blow it up next year.
