Chesterton's Mr. October

Chesterton's Shane Kenney picked up the nickname 'Mr. October' from coach Tim Ray for a couple reasons. One, the Trojans senior plays baseball in the spring rather than running track, and, two, he typically runs his best races in the month of October, coinciding with the state tournament series. "One things Shane always seems to do, when that weather turns, he steps on through," Ray said after Kenney's runner-up finish in Tuesday's Chesterton Sectional. "You have a baseball player, it becomes October, and you know what that means. He's been waiting for October. I hope that it continues for him." So does Kenney, although he's a fan of the White Sox and not the Yankees, the team of the other Mr. October, Reggie Jackson. "I felt great," Kenney said. "I'm usually about 10, 15 seconds behind (Ryan Cutter at 3K) and I was a lot closer. It was only two, three seconds. Seeing I was that close, I was thinking I can stay with him. At 3K, we got together and he encouraged me. I kind of took off and I had a lot of confidence in doing so." -- Jim Peters
