Aurora Christian School

ACS TRACK & FIELD HALL OF FAME

The Aurora Christian track program would like to honor those athletes who have worked hard during their time at Aurora Christian by representing the school in a manner which exemplifies the true meaning of what it takes to be a high level student athlete.

To qualify for the Track and Field Hall of Fame, an athlete must have placed in the finals at the Illinois State Track and Field Meet. This means that such athletes have trained the bodies and mind to the point that they are ranked among the top nine athletes in the state in their event.
