Register For Midwest High School Challenge
The Midwest High School XC Challenge bolstered its line-up with the addition of Illinois native, Peyton Schieppe. The junior from O'Fallon High School last saw live competition earlier this month when she achieved 'All-Meet' status at the ShaZam Racing XC Championships.
MileSplit Ohio reached out to Tony Jones, MileSplit Illinois site editor, for more context on the qualities that Schieppe brings to the table.
"Peyton Schieppe from O'Fallon, IL (in the St. Louis metro area) is considered a southern Illinois runner in regard to the mighty Chicagoland running scene."
"Schieppe appeared to be on her way to stardom and All-State status as a sophomore last year until a season ending foot injury at the state series put a halt to her participation."
"Schieppe came back during the 2020 campaign on a tear, earning several "Premium 25" honors and collected the 'Athlete of the Week' distinction during Week #2."
"Schieppe has a 3-mile pr of 17:03.97 and if she's close to that fitness level on November 28th then she should contend for the win."
