Consistency is obviously key for the Chesterton Trojans.  This could be a case to rank them higher than #6 on thie list, but this is where they fell on the point scale.
 
The interesting thing about Chesterton, is that the program kicked off right at the start of this decade with Steve Vrska.  After that, Chesterton has been blessed with front-runners to always put them in the mix in the highly competitive DAC.  After Vrska, there was Martin, Goldak and one of many Osborns to come through the program. 
 
Obviously they continued to be blessed this year with a national-calibur front-runner but it was complemented with an amazing pack to help the Trojans finish their best ever in cross country.
 
Expect the Trojans to continue being a constant face at the state meet as they currently are one of the power-houses in the New Prairie Semi State.
