The New Trier Trevians boys cross country team brought home a state trophy Saturday, finishing second at the IHSA Class 3A State Championships at Detweiller Park in Peoria.
The Trevians scored 155 points, trailing only Elmhurst York's 141, according to results published by the Peoria Journal Star. St. Charles North took third with 160. The top three teams in each race earned state trophies.
The finish marks a sharp turnaround for the program. Head coach Matt Sloan said before the season that the Trevians had missed the state meet the previous year for the first time in 14 years, according to a MileSplit Illinois preseason preview published in August.
Sebastian Vining led New Trier individually, finishing 20th overall in 14:34.2. That earned him all-state honors. The top 25 runners in each race receive the all-state designation. Nicolas Hampton finished 27th, followed by Martin Issa in 38th, Carter Hollis in 61st and Maxwell Overstreet in 64th to complete New Trier’s scoring five.
Eynon shines for the girls
Sophomore Miriam Eynon delivered the top individual performance of any Trevian runner on the day. She finished sixth in the Class 3A girls race in 16:45.5, earning all-state honors.
The result caps a breakout season. Eynon won the Central Suburban League Conference Championships and the Niles West Regional this fall, according to an Illinois Running News preview. She had finished 16th at the 2025 state meet as a freshman.
Fellow sophomore Jillian Crane also earned all-state, finishing 19th in 17:02.7.
The New Trier girls team placed seventh overall with 277 points. Arlington Heights Hersey won the team title with 126 points, followed by Barrington at 146 and Prospect at 179. New Trier entered the meet ranked 10th in Illinois Running News pre-race team rankings, so seventh exceeded expectations.
Kara Glenn of St. Charles North won the girls individual title in 15:13.0. Santiago Chavez of Burbank Reavis won the boys race in 14:04.8.
