Grayslake North's Wilson enjoying more success

Chelsee Wilson earned her second Student-Athlete of the Week award in women's track and field for Concordia Chicago when she broke two of her own school records at the Margaret Bradley Invitational.

The Grayslake North graduate won the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.89 seconds and the 200-meter dash with a 25.62, beating her former standards of 7.94 and 25.79 respectively at the meet hosted by the University of Chicago.

Wilson is currently 15th nationally in the 60 and 36th in the 200 in her quest to qualify for the indoor nationals.

Wilson's was previously honored for the award when she set a school record in the 400 meters in mid January.

The junior has a double major in communications and graphic design.

After the Bradley Invitational, Wilson went on to score points in four different events at the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference indoor championships meet in Kenosha, Wis., where the Cougars placed sixth.

Wilson ran in three individual races and a lap of the 4 x 400 relay.

She was timed in 7.44 in the 55 meters (second place) after qualifying with a record-breaking 7.31 in the preliminaries and a 59.42 in the 400, breaking her previous records of 7.42 and 59.76, respectively.

Wilson also finished third in the 200 with a 25.81 and helped the relay team (which included Alisha Johnson, Michelle Hennig and Jasmine Cawley) to a sixth-place finish at 4:26.12.

Men's baseball

Concordia-Chicago's Brent Spohr (Grant) led off the top of the second inning with a double down the left field line, went to third on a groundout and scored on a base hit for the Cougars' first run in an 8-2 loss to Concordia-Texas in Austin, Texas.

• Augustana junior Matt Loeffler (Grayslake Central) has hit the Vikings' first home run of the season and leads the team (8-1) with a .421 batting average and slugging percentage of .579.

Augustana's bats came alive with a combined 36 hits in wins over Wartburg (10-6), Concordia (10-4) and Roskle Hulman (12-8) on a recent Florida trip.

Wrestling

Wisconsin-Whitewater freshman Devin Tortorice (Carmel) is one of four members of 10th-ranked Whitewater who qualified for the NCAA Division III championships by finishing among the top three of his weight classes at the Midwest Regional in Fort Wayne, Ind.

The Division III championships are this Friday and Saturday at Wisconsin-LaCrosse.

Tortorice punched his ticket to La Crosse by finishing as the runner-up at 141 pounds.

After knocking off consensus top-10 wrestler Chase Wilson of Manchester on the first day of competition, Tortorice downed another nationally-ranked opponent, North Central's Layten Binion, by a 7-3 decision the next day. He was edged in the title bout by consensus No. 1 Dustin Weinmann of UW-La Crosse.
