Naperville Central's Evan Thayer won the mile and helped the Redhawks win the 3,200-meter relay on Saturday at the John Bell Invitational while recovering from a sinus infection the Sun-Times reported.
Thayer said he made his move with half a lap left and was running in about third place.
"I wanted to see what I had left and I went out slow," Thayer said. "I felt pretty tired but I wanted to work my way up and work through it. [Usually] you find that with 200 meters to go you're in a good position to race someone."
