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).

Hersey tops Stevenson in second OT May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
It took a while, but Hersey was able to defend its home turf in Class 3A girls soccer regional championship play Friday.

Morgan Harris earned her 12th shutout of the season for the Huskies.
Carmel gets offensive, edges Fremd May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
Nobody could have figured these two defensive giants would concede 7 goals Friday night. After all, No. 2 Carmel (19-1-1) had allowed just 8 before the start of its regional final at No. 7 Fremd, who themselves had given just 11 away to its opponents this season. But the defensive buzz leading up to this game quickly disappeared, and would continue to do so until the final whistle signaled the end of 100 minutes of soccer, with the Corsairs outlasting the host Vikings (12-6-3) 4-3 in OT to capture a Class 3A regional crown and a place in Tuesday's Mundelein sectional semifinal against No. 3 Hersey, which defeated Stevenson 2-0.
Richards rises to the sectional task at BG May 16, 2013 12:00 AM
The teams and competitors at the Class 3A Buffalo Grove boys track and field sectional learned quickly Thursday night what the North Suburban Conference, and in particular Mundelein, has known for some time. There really isn’t anything Mustangs sophomore Bryce Richards can’t do on the track. Take, for example, the third heat of the 800-meter run. With one lap remaining, Richards took command, but looked to be losing his grip on the race with 100 meters left. Instead of folding and falling out of the pack like many underclassmen before him might have done, Richards stormed back into the lead and won it. His school-record time of 1:55.33 is among the 10 fastest in the state this spring and earned Richards his first trip downstate. But he was hardly done there.

Perfection was the word of the day for Barrington's softball team. The Fillies ended a perfect season in the Mid-Suburban West with a perfect game from sophomore pitcher Keenan Dolezal. Dolezal retired 21 straight batters before the Fillies got her the win in bottom of the seventh inning at the Fields of Dreams.

Barrington’s back on top in MSL May 11, 2013 12:00 AM
It seemed like an eternity for John Roncone, but his tennis team from Barrington is back on top for the first time since 2010. The Broncos lifted the Mid-Suburban League championship trophy on a cold, windy Saturday afternoon at host Wheeling thanks to supremacy at doubles and steady work at singles, particularly from No. 3 champ Zach Hennenfent.
