About this Article

Winning another North Suburban Conference title might give the impression everything was just fine for the Lake Zurich boys cross country team. Senior Trevor Kuehr and the Bears knew it wasn't the case. But they made a different impression Saturday morning in the Class 3A Grant boys cross country regional when Kuehr and Alex Milner finished second and third to lead a 41-48 victory over Palatine at Camp Henry Horner Park in Ingleside.
