Grace Beattie, Swimmers recognized by City Council ISU, earns PR for the mile run By Kevin Lyons
WOODSTOCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 200
ere is very little nuance in track and ďŹ eld recruiting. A 6-foot high jump in high school is a 6-foot high jump in college, and a 5-minute mile is a 5-minute mile — regardless of where it’s run. Get the athlete with the best number and convince them that, through years of focused improvement, the number gets better and better. at is the exact state of affairs for former Woodstock team captain Grace Beattie, who set a personal Paul Lambert record in the mile The College run against an elite ďŹ eld at Notre Report Dame’s Meyo Invitational Feb. 3. Beattie covered the mile at the indoor event in 4 minutes, 53.76 seconds, making her the ninth-fastest indoor miler in Illinois State history. Beattie also helped the Redbirds place sixth in the distance medley at the unscored event with a time of 11:53.15. Representing Woodstock at the Feb. 3 Pointer Invite, Judson University’s Lacey Heaver ďŹ nished eighth in the 800-meter run.
