• South Elgin springs upset on Lake Zurich at FremdMay 23, 2012 12:00 AM
  From the first inning, it was clear this was going to be a pretty wild softball game between No. 5 seed Lake Zurich and No. 11 South Elgin Wednesday afternoon in Class 4A regional semifinal play at Fremd. The Storm jumped ahead of Lake Zurich 2-0 in the top of the first before falling behind 4-3 after four innings in this slugfest. But persistence paid off in the end for South Elgin as the Storm scored 3 runs on 2 hits in the top of the fifth before adding an insurance run in the sixth en route to a 7-4 upset victory over the Bears. The Storm (14-19) will play No. 3 Fremd (29-7) for the regional championship at 10 a.m. Saturday. Lake Zurich closed out its season with a 24-10 record.

Lakes didn't miss a beat with senior Hannah Wittman, senior Grace Dean, and freshman twins Brittani and Danielle Griesbaum combining to lead the Eagles to their first girls track state title in the Class 2A 3,200 relay (9:24.02)

  Carmel’s Paul, Warren’s Ellis off to hot starts May 18, 2012 12:00 AM
  Carmel senior Megan Paul and Warren freshman Brittny Ellis were in a class by themselves on Friday at the girls track state meet preliminaries at Eastern Illinois' O'Brien Stadium. On a warm day, Paul and Ellis set a sizzling pace. Paul, who has won four state medals in Class 3A, including two individual medals in the 400, took a liking to Class 2A. She has the top preliminary time in the 400 (55.96), and also qualified in the 100 (12.54) and 200 (25.24). Ellis, competing at her first state meet, showed no nerves in taking the top preliminary time in Class 3A in the 400 (54.66). The Blue Devils freshman also qualified in the 200 (24.43) and anchored the 400 relay (47.95) into Saturday finals.
  

   

• That was one Reilly fast sectional at Fremd May 18, 2012 12:00 AM
  The bragging rights in the Reilly household will likely switch to current Libertyville senior Shane Reilly. Going back the 1980's, Reilly's father Mike was a distance runner at Libertyville and had put up a best effort of 4:24 in the 1,600-meter run. Friday night at the Class 3A Fremd sectional, Reilly bested his dad with a sensational effort in the 1,600-meter run. Reilly ran fifth in a loaded mile field, but his 4:19.66 time was good enough for a trip to the state finals next weekend at Eastern Illinois University. Reilly now is the best of the Reillys. "I finally beat my dad's time," Reilly said. "I felt really good coming into the final lap and knew I had a good time in me tonight." Reilly's six-second PR was just one of many great efforts at the Fremd sectional. The host Vikings won the meet with 71 points to 68 for runner-up Stevenson.
