  voice brought to you by Everlett. One of Lily Bosnick's
• 0:21
  friends recently asked her where she was ranked in the
• 0:24
  state and hurdles this spring, but the Saint Bede senior
• 0:28
  hasn't even looked. After finishing runner up in the one
• 0:32
  hundred meter and three hundred meter hurdles as a junior,
• 0:35
  Bosnik has taken a more relaxed approach this spring, which
• 0:39
  she will take into the ISS Class one A State
• 0:41
  track and Field meet this week at Eastern Illinois University
• 0:45
  in Charleston. The one A preliminaries are Thursday, with the
• 0:49
  finals on Saturday. This year, I really prioritized being a
• 0:53
  senior and making it to everything that I could, So
• 0:57
  my times aren't as good as they were last year.
• 0:59
  But that's a okay, because I've realized recently more than ever,
• 1:02
  that the good times really go by way too fast,
• 1:05
  Bosnick said, So I'm just going to do my best
• 1:08
  and forget the rest. While Bosnick may not have looked
• 1:11
  at rankings this season, She's still ranked among the state's best.
• 1:16
  Bosnik had the third best sectional time in the one
• 1:19
  hundred hurdles at fifteen point three four seconds and owns
• 1:22
  the second fastest time in the event this season at
• 1:25
  fourteen point eight eight. Wilmington's McKenna van Tilberg has the
• 1:30
  best time this season fourteen point four to seven and
• 1:33
  had the second best sectional time fifteen point two three,
• 1:37
  while Oregonsoftmrgillian Hammer recorded the top sectional time fifteen point
• 1:41
  zero one, which also is third best time this season.
• 1:45
  In the three hundred hurdles, Bosnick has the third best
• 1:49
  time this season forty five point three, behind Hammer forty
• 1:52
  four point four to nine and two topoles freshman Isabella
• 1:55
  Niebrug forty four point seventy five. Bosnick had the sixth
• 1:59
  best sectional time forty six point three eight. Pushing myself
• 2:04
  more than I ever have, putting in the work this
• 2:06
  week and just knowing that I can do it and
• 2:08
  having confidence, Bosnik said about the keys to success at State.
• 2:13
  Bosnik said she hopes to hit personal records at State.
• 2:16
  Her prs are fourteen point four to three in the
• 2:19
  one hundred s and forty three point four in the
• 2:21
  three hundred s, which came at state last year. She'll
• 2:25
  also run at State in the one hundred and will
• 2:27
  be joined at State by teammates Savannah Bray shot put
• 2:30
  and Kijah Lucas high jump. Bosnik isn't the only News
• 2:34
  Tribune area athlete who will be in contention to finish
• 2:37
  the season atop the podium. Henry Midlands senior Daniella Bumber
• 2:42
  already owns eight career state medals and wants to add
• 2:45
  four more to her collection this weekend, including a gold.
• 2:49
  The goal is to win the four hundred this year,
• 2:52
  Bummer said, That's what I've been working toward all these years.
• 2:57
  Definitely winning the four hundred and hopefully making it to
• 2:59
  the finals in the one hundred, two hundred and are
• 3:02
  four x won my goals. Bummer enters with the top
• 3:06
  four hundred time in the state this season at five
• 3:08
  seven dot one COMMA, just ahead of Effingham Saint Anthony's
• 3:12
  Ree Hueen's fifty seven point four. Bummer ran the third
• 3:16
  fastest sectional time fifty eight point twenty three, behind Queen
• 3:21
  fifty seven point four Coleman fifty eight point one. I
• 3:25
  think it's good going into State with the top time,
• 3:28
  Bummer said Zeedda. I'm confident in my race abilities. My
• 3:32
  sectional time wasn't as great as my previous time, but
• 3:35
  part of that is I had great competition next to me.
• 3:37
  When I ran that fifty seven point one in Lila Coleman.
• 3:41
  I think when I get down to State, I'm going
• 3:43
  to have that watch on my back and it's going
• 3:45
  to give me a little extra push to run competitively. Bummer,
• 3:50
  who also owns the fifth best two hundred time twenty
• 3:53
  five point three to three this spring and had the
• 3:55
  thirteenth best one hundred time twelve point four to nine
• 3:59
  at sectionals, will run her final state meet healthy after
• 4:02
  dealing with a stress fracture as a junior. It's honestly
• 4:06
  a blessing, said Bummer, who placed third in the four
• 4:10
  hundred and ninth in the one hundred last year despite
• 4:12
  the injury. I was running competitive times even on my
• 4:15
  injury last year, but I didn't really feel confident in
• 4:18
  my runs. It was really nerve wracking knowing I was
• 4:22
  pushing my body a little too hard. This year, every
• 4:25
  day I run, I'm just thankful I'm even able to
• 4:27
  do it. Bummer also will anchor the Timber Ducks four
• 4:31
  x one hundred relay, running with Alison Mitchell, Taylor Frawley,
• 4:34
  and Audrey Chambers, which has the twelve best time fifty
• 4:38
  point four this season and ran the fourteenth best sectional
• 4:41
  time fifty point five. Eight. The top nine teams qualify
• 4:45
  for finals. We've been working really hard the last three
• 4:50
  years to make it to finals, and I feel like
• 4:52
  this is the year that we're really going to be
• 4:54
  able to shine. Bumber said. We've consistently run in that
• 4:58
  fifty range, and we've kind of been by ourselves when
• 5:01
  we're running these races, So I think once we get
• 5:03
  down there and we get some competition, really push ourselves
• 5:07
  and have clear handoffs, I have no doubt we'll get
• 5:10
  a forty nine and hopefully make it to finals. Henry
• 5:14
  Midland has a strong contingent at State this season, as
• 5:17
  all four members of the relay also qualified in individual events.
• 5:21
  Fraley enters with the fifth best sectional long jump five
• 5:25
  point four one meters, while Chambers recorded the twelve best
• 5:28
  sectional jump five point two to one. Fraley also will
• 5:32
  run the one hundred. Mitchell also will compete in the
• 5:35
  high jump. Fraley, Chambers, and Mitchell will run with Piper
• 5:39
  Roach in the four x two hundred, which had the
• 5:42
  eleven best sectional time at one forty seven point nine
• 5:45
  to two. The best part about this season is getting
• 5:48
  to experience this all together and seeing everybody work so
• 5:52
  hard and getting their dreams and goals accomplished, Bummer said.
• 5:55
  Seniors girls, we were just freshmen not that long ago,
• 5:59
  just hoping and dreaming to be able to make it
• 6:01
  down for everything. Now Taylor Frawley, Alison Mitchell and I
• 6:05
  are all going down for four events this year, so
• 6:08
  there's just something special about that. I'm beyond proud of
• 6:12
  our program and what it's growing to be. Bureau Valley
• 6:15
  also has a big group going to state with five
• 6:18
  individuals and two relays. Sophomore Elise House ran the fourth
• 6:22
  best sectional time in the four hundred fifty eight point nine,
• 6:26
  and freshman Matt ass signed Ship's leap of ten point
• 6:29
  four to one meters was fifteenth among sectional performances. In
• 6:32
  the triple jump, the foursome of Matti Vetzel, Abby Stabler,
• 6:37
