The Peterson Prep Invitational Track and Field meet was held Saturday, April 20, 2024 at West Aurora High School.

Despite moving the meet to West Aurora, Kaneland track and field had 11 athletes finish on the podium en route to a win in the Peterson Prep Invitational.

We take a look at each track team in the area, including loaded squads in DeKalb, Sycamore and Kaneland plus a Genoa-Kingston squad looking for a breakout season.

A jack-of-all-trades in Sycamore, a pair of Kaneland distance runners and a pair of DeKalb sprinters comprise the five athletes to keep an eye on this spring.

Three times in his Sycamore track career Caden Emmert won a medal as part of a relay, including a state title two years ago as the anchor on the 4x800. This year, Emmert won a pair of medals at the Class 2A State Meet, including the first solo medal of his career in the 800.

Sycamore sophomore Aidan Wyzard loves his new sport even more after taking second in the Class 2A long jump at the IHSA Boys Track and Field State Meet.
