The 2017 IHSA Boys & Girls Cross Country State Finals return to Peoria on Saturday, November 4. All six races will unfold over the three-mile course at Detweiller Park, which is hosting the event for the 47th consecutive year. A schedule and other pertinent information for Saturday's event is located on the righthand sidebar.

Sectional team and individual champions are listed below.

On Saturday morning, the IHSA will recognize a pair of Honorary Officials in Paul Beiersdorf and Galen Bennett.

An IHSA cross country legend returns to Detweiller on Saturday, as the pride of Lebanon High School, 1971 and 1972 IHSA state champion Craig Virgin will be on-site. Virgin and author Randy Sharer, who recently penned the book Virgin Territory: The Story of Craig Virgin, America's Renaissance Runner, will chat, take photos and sign copies of the book (no copies will be sold on site).

For in-depth previews of this weekend's races, visit ILXCTF.com and the Milesplit Illinois website, while the Peoria Journal Star has covered the event like no other outlet in the state for nearly half a century.

Also be sure to check out this NFHS story on why the Illinois state meet is so revered, as well as this 1986 story from the Peoria Journal Star entitled: "Its a Race You Never Forget".
