Boom! @shells_xc checking in at 3rd this week. #GoShells

Great day at the First to the Finish Invitational at Detweiler Park! The boys placed 15th out of 67 teams with Noah Crump earning a medal in 24th place. The girls placed 24th out of 53 teams.

Great opener at the very hot and very competitive Granite City Invite! Boys placed 9th, the highest they have ever placed in this invite, with Noah Crump medaling in 20th place running 15:40.0. The girls placed 12th with some amazing races! @RHS_Shells @AMiller31

Great feature story on @RoxanaShells Jr Brayden Kelley by @GregShashack: eedition.thetelegraph.com/in… Some huge defensive plays from Brayden helped @RoxanaAthletics defeat Murphysboro last Friday. Looking forward to seeing this defense again tomorrow against Chicago Noble. #GoShells

Honored to meet our special guest today at RHS! Leo the bearded dragon visited Mr. Scamihorn’s Biology classes! Special shoutout to Bradyn Kelley for bringing Leo to school and sharing him with our science classes today!

"They don't care what you know until they know that you care." I heard the legendary Joe Newton, York HS, Elmhurst, IL, say that at a clinic when I was a young coach. The longer I'm in the sport the more I realize that this is step one if you want to have a great program.

One of the most important lessons running taught me: How to work hard for a very long for something far in the distance. You don’t build a great Track season in May. You build it in the cold, dark months no one sees. Delayed gratification is one of the most transferable skills

WE HAVE A STATE CHAMP!! #WIN @RHS_Shells @AMiller31 @1071TheBigZ @STLhssports

2026 Cahokia Conference Champs! @RHS_Shells @GregShashack @pete__hayes @1071TheBigZ

Roxana boys are the 2026 Cahokia Conference Mississippi Division Track Champions! This is the first @RoxanaAthletics boys track conference title since 1970. Congratulations to the team, Coach Akal, and her entire staff! @STLhssports @1071TheBigZ @SoWestILHSSport @RHS_Shells

They call it Feed the Cats for a reason. A cat you only feed in the spring won’t stay alive. A cat you only feed when it’s convenient will never reach its full potential. Speed works the same way. If you want fast kids in May, you better feed speed all year. I’ve seen what happens when speed is treated like a priority. Healthy. Fast. Explosive. Confident. That is how you Feed the Cats.

Huge shoutout to Ms. Crank & her Science Olympiad team! They earned 5th place & medaled in the codebusters event at IIST - the state competition today at McHenry College! #GoShells 🔱 @RHS_Shells
