🏆 BRINGING HOME THE HARDWARE! 🏆
What an unforgettable weekend for Morris Track & Field!
This past Saturday, the Braves rolled into Pontiac for the IESA Class 3A Sectionals, squared off against 15 area schools, and absolutely crushed it!
After eight weeks of relentless grinding and fierce competition, our athletes showed up when it mattered most. The Braves walked away with massive personal bests, incredible top finishes, a Sectional title, and a whole squad of State Qualifiers!
🔥 THE KINGS OF THE TRACK 🔥
When the dust settled and the final points were tallied, the Morris Grade School 6th and 7th Grade Boys made sure everyone remembered who they are. They brought the house down and are officially your SECTIONAL CHAMPIONS! 🥇
Massive shoutout to everyone! Every single one of you stepped up, contributed to the team's massive success, and pulled off an incredible achievement. You’ve made your coaches and the entire Morris school community beyond proud!
🚌 NEXT STOP: STATE!
The journey isn't over yet! This weekend, our State Qualifiers are packing their bags and heading out to East Peoria to take on the best of the best at the IESA State Meet.
See a State Qualifier this week? Give them a massive high-five and wish them luck!
Let’s hear it loud and proud: GO BRAVES!! 🏹👟💨

A huge shoutout to the Morris Grade School Varsity Scholastic Bowl team for an amazing performance at the IESA AA Regional Tournament in DeKalb this past Wednesday! 🧠💡
Our team brought the heat, dominating Plano (500-120) and taking down Saratoga (350-270) to punch their ticket to the Championship Match! While they fought hard and fell just short in a tough final battle against the host team, making it to the regional championship is a massive accomplishment. 🥈👏
Mr. Ridgway and all of your families are SO proud of your success, your competitive spirit, and the incredible season you’ve had!
Way to go Braves!! 🥳📚🏆
