River Park Track was spectacular. It is one of the best venues in Chicago for Track & Field.
A special thanks to Northside parents Susan Webster and Elizabeth McManus for serving as the clerks of the course, and for checking in thousands of athletes, and providing them with hip numbers for each event.
A special thanks to Leo Fitzpatrick for providing an outstanding Awards Table, and a special thanks to all of the Northside families that spent their Sunday making Goody Bags for the 2014 Eric Nelson Classic.
The Team would also like to thank Danuta Frejowski for transporting the Team Tent to River Park.
The Team would also like to thank Northside Assistant Distance Coach Patrick O'Connor for helping with all of the heavy lifting of equipment before the meet, and for his outstanding coaching during the meet.

Northside would also like to thank IHSA Official Bernie Lewis.
Last, the Northside Coaching Staff would like to thank all of the Northside athletes.
