Palos Heights (Stagg) delivered a commanding team effort at the Reavis Invitational, placing multiple runners among the top finishers and showcasing the depth of its boys’ cross-country program in a strong field of competitors.
The meet took place on October 4, 2025, at Reavis High School in Burbank, Illinois.
Leading the way for the Chargers, senior standout Jack Krusinski finished second overall in the varsity race with a time of 15:42.02. He was followed closely by teammate Bill Szeszycki, who claimed third at 16:46.30, giving Stagg two of the top three spots in the field.
