If you've been missing the staple of the fall - Friday night football in central Illinois - a Clinton High School administrator is hoping to pull off a perhaps first of its kind event.
Cross country under the lights is the theme of an event at Clinton High School tonight. Athletic Director Matt Keoppel indicates boys and girls high school cross country are still competing this fall explains they are doing a special senior night competition with Tolono Unity and Monticello coming to town.
Koeppel says this was something he thought about and approached his coaches. He felt creating a cross country course at the high school could be done with all the light fixtures for the various fields on their campus and he's excited to see how it turns out.
Koeppel credits his coaches for helping to get everything in place for tonight. He notes it is a lot of work to put a cross country course in place.
