  Included in the 550 or so students who donned caps and gowns Saturday at Harper College's commencement was a contingent not yet old enough to vote, but qualified to take vital signs, transfer patients and practice infection control. A total of 18 high-schoolers, 17 from Wheeling High School alone, walked after completing their Certified Nursing Assistant certificate, among the numerous fast-growing dual credit options that Harper offers.

  Silver linings for Palatine 3,200 relay, Meadows’ Keller May 18, 2013 12:00 AM
  Tess Wasowicz put her best foot forward — and didn't wince. In the end, all was well in a season that wasn't always well for the Palatine star. What the senior described as a "stress reaction" in her left foot kept her from competing on the track for half the season, but the perennial state qualifier left Eastern Illinois University's O'Brien Stadium with a runner-up state medal draped over her neck after joining 3,200-meter relay teammates Kara Burton, Liz Cox and Cassidy McPherson ran strong on the season's final day, finishing second (9:12.21) in the Class 3A race behind only New Trier (9:04.86). Another state veteran, Rolling Meadows senior thrower Morgan Keller, also left Charleston happy. She finished in second place in the discus (149 feet, 7 inches).

  Huntley’s Tseumah state high jump champ May 18, 2013 12:00 AM
  Omo Tseumah took a calculated gamble. But it paid off handsomely for the Huntley senior in her return engagement with Lyons Township sophomore Emma Haugen. Last year at the girls Class 3A state track and field meet, Haugen defeated Tseumah for the championship in the high jump. Tseumah made a bold move as the two dueled once again on Saturday at Eastern Illinois University. "I decided to skip 5-(feet)-5," Tseumah said. The Marquette-bound senior then made her three following heights at 5-6, 5-7 and 5-8.

• Grant garners first sectional title May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  Grant boys track and field coach Tom Evans spent Friday evening watching a parade of his Bulldogs qualify for next week's state meet in Charleston, but he continued pacing the infield nervously once the final event of the Class 3A Huntley sectional had concluded. Runner-up sectional finishes the previous two seasons tend to have that effect on a coach. Moments later his nervousness was replaced by excitement and pride as the North Suburban Conference champions were announced as sectional champions for the first time in school history. Grant garnered 83 team points to run away from Fox Valley Conference champion Huntley and NIC-10 Conference champion Belvidere North, which finished tied with 56 points.

Morgan Harris earned her 12th shutout of the season for the Huskies.
  

   

• Cary-Grove ‘Levels’ Crystal Lake South May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  Cory Levels knew exactly what was on the line. The Cary-Grove senior realized if she scored a shootout goal the Trojans would capture the Class 3A Crystal Lake South regional championship. Levels got the job done. Her goal gave the second-seeded Trojans a 2-1 shootout win over top-seeded Crystal South in Friday's regional title game.

  Jacobs 3,200 relay team Friday’s fastest May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  The Jacobs 3,200-meter relay team made quite a statement Friday at the Class 3A state girls track and field finals in Charleston. The quartet of Molly Barnes, Tori Tamburrino, Sam Baran and Lauren VanVlierbergen won its heat and clocked the fastest time of all 3A teams at 9:16.19. The Golden Eagles will take a shot at school history in today's finals. No Jacobs girls individual or relay team has won a track state title. LaShawna Canty came the closest taking second in the high jump in 1998 and 1999.

• Pats in command; Parekh advances May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  North Suburban Conference champ Stevenson dominated day one of its own tennis sectional Friday afternoon, but a pair of four-year veterans and a newcomer to the scene squeezed their way into the picture as play came to and end at the spacious Vernon Hills Athletic Complex. The Patriots are way ahead of the field in the team race with 16 points, and have qualified all four teams into next week's state tournament when Saturday's 9 a.m. semifinals begin day No. 2.
  

   

• Barrington holds off Burlington Central May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  It was Senior Day for the Barrington softball team Friday and the Fillies played their final game of the season at the Fields of Dreams. Or did they? "We hope we have one more game here," said Fillies' senior third baseman Loren Krzysko. If the Fillies do, it will mean they're playing in their own Class 4A supersectional on June 3. But there's a long road ahead before that and Barrington, ranked No. 2 in the Daily Herald Top 20 as well as the Class 4A Illinois Coaches Association poll, tuned up for the postseason with a 3-2 win over Burlington Central, the No. 6 team in the Daily Herald Top 20 and No. 3 in the ICA Class 3A poll.
