The Peoria Notre Dame Richard Spring Invitational Cross Country Meet is held in mid-September at the historic Detweiller Park CC course.
This year we will have a new food vendor at the PND Richard Spring Invitational... With race times from 8am - 11:20am, what food items would you like to have available? We'll try to take your reasonable ideas into consideration!
Context for just how STUNNING Jane Hedengren's 9:17.75 high school 2 Mile record was: She would rank in the BOYS Top 10 for 2M/3200 in 3⃣0⃣ out of 50 states for the 2025 outdoor season. She'd be Top 3 on those lists in 1⃣4⃣ states!! And No. 1 on the Boys rankings in 3⃣ states.
Great running at @IHSA_IL (and other) State Track meets for so many runners who have competed at the Peoria Notre Dame Richard Spring Invitational! LOTS of All-State & PR efforts! We look forward to seeing you back in Peoria on Sept 20th 2025! Good luck to graduated seniors!

Guess who is heading back to PND-Richard Spring Invitational from Overland Park KS? @GoAquinasSaints That's who! Their girls were in the Top 10 in 2023, while their boys are excited to aim for a lofty finish too! Good luck St Thomas Aquinas Saints! Great to have you back again!
Guess who's coming back to PND-Richard Spring Invitational in September? The defending boys Champs @xc_mason from Ohio! That's who! Their girls want to get in on the action up front this time around too! Good luck Mason!
As a HS CC/track coach in IL, by May 1, my gym bag has shorts, short-sleeves, long-sleeves, UA Coldgear & Heatgear shirts, a hoodie, windbreaker, raincoat, warm up pants, thermal tights, beanie, headband, gloves, thermal mittens & smartwool socks. Just in case. Always Be prepared
In the midst of an exciting track season, we report that 77 teams are currently committed to compete at our 2025 Peoria Notre Dame Richard Spring Invitational on September 20th at Detweiller. Very excited to see how many more teams will be added! Time clock is ticking!
Steamboat Classic coming up in June, in Peoria! Get your racing shoes ready! pjstar.com/story/sports/r…
Ben Crane @bcrane06 (Sr., New Trier IL) at the New Balance Indoor Nats. He produced a strong 2nd half in the championship 2Mile to complete an IL#1/US#8 performance!!! Congrats, Ben on your 7th place finish!!
Sweet moment for @kaitlincass21 as she gets some time in the state finals for @PNDLadyIrish after missing the season with an ACL tear.

The upcoming teacher shortage will be devastating. I can't talk any high school or college kid into considering it. Makes no sense to borrow $100K to get a college degree that qualifies you for a $45K job (and it's a hard job!). My idea... Two year college program, followed…
Happy to say that Brighton, Michigan boys will be joining us for the 2025 PND Richard Spring Invitational cross country meet on Sept 20. They were 3rd in the Michigan LP D1 State Championship. Looking forward to having them travel to Peoria to represent MI.
