Expect another team effort in John Hamann Golf Outing

With two Class AA girls golf state titles and one runner-up finish in the past three years, Prospect coach Jim Hamann has one of the most successful programs in the state.

Now he is hoping for another successful John Hamann Golf Outing on June 12 at the Maple Meadows Golf Club In Wood Dale.

The John Hamann Athletic Scholarship Fund was founded in 2010 after the passing of the long time Willowbrook High School teacher, basketball coach and golf coach John Hamann.

John's wife Jalaine, his daughter Julie, his sons Jim and Jeff, and daughters in law Katie and Gina have been instrumental in honoring John's legacy at the high school.

The foundation awards two athletic scholarships to student-athletes at Willowbrook High School every spring.

It also awards scholarships to seniors that attend John and Jalaine's church, The Community Congregational Church of Villa Park.

In 2013, 88 players participated and more than 140 people attended the dinner. Numerous contributions were made for gifts, prizes, raffles and silent auctions.

Men's tennis

Case Western Reserve's Eric Klawitter (Hersey) and his doubles partner Christopher Krimbill joined elite company by winning the NCAA Division III men's tennis doubles championship.

Klawitter and Krimbill become just the 17th and 18th NCAA champions in the 45-year history of Spartans athletics.

The last CWRU student-athlete to win a title was track and field star Obinna Nwanna, who won the decathlon in 2010.

Entering Saturday's competition, Klawitter and Krimbill had already advanced further than any individual singles or doubles qualifiers in program history.

The duo started the day with a straight-set victory (6-2, 6-2) in the national semifinals against Jeremy Bush and Ross Putterman of University Athletic Association rival Washington (Mo.).

Then in the championship match, Klawitter and Krimbill triumphed in straight sets (6-3, 6-4) once again versus Timmy Berg and Pierre Planche of Bates College (Maine).

As a pair, Klawitter and Krimbill ended the season at 21-4.

Klawitter finishes his career second all-time in program history with 137 combined victories, just 2 shy of 2013 graduate Kyle Gerber's record of 139.

The performance put an exclamation point on the best season in program history. On Monday, the Spartans (17-8) became the first team from CWRU to play in the quarterfinals.

"She improved in all four years in our program and she will continue to improve. I know she can help contribute to Lake Forest College. We are all rooting for Frankie."
