• Conant’s Mauk makes his mark: record 9.9 on parallel bars May 4, 2013 12:00 AM
  After the Conant boys gymnastics sectional Saturday in Hoffman Estates, Conant’s Joey Mauk was encouraged by his teammates, family and friends to climb on top of the parallel bars. Mauk sheepishly complied and then stood with each foot on a bar, with his arms crossed, looking like royalty. Mauk had all the reason to look like a king after conquering the parallel bars earlier with a state-record 9.90. Mauk’s score helped Conant win the sectional with a 154.60 to earn the team’s first trip to state finals in three years. The Cougars will compete for the state title with seven other teams next Friday at Lincoln-Way East in Frankfort.

  After a half-hour lightning delay, Fremd's offense provided some thunder of its own Thursday against visiting Conant. The biggest blast was junior shortstop Leigh Farina's grand slam to center field with two outs giving the Vikings a 7-0 lead in the second inning.
