  Mundelein’s Hemmer hammers away May 24, 2012 12:00 AM
  Rounding first base hard had become the norm for Alex Hemmer, but this time Mundelein's softball slugger stood on the bag. Then like all good base runners, she looked at her coach for instructions. She saw Mustangs head coach Brett Wilhelm flashing numbers. "My coach kept throwing numbers at me and I had no idea what he was trying to tell me," Hemmer said with a laugh. "I was like, OK, I'm just going to keep hitting.' " Wilhelm wasn't giving Hemmer the steal sign, however, nor trying to tell her how many outs there were. "I was showing (assistant) coach (Pete) Nadler how many RBIs she had. I'm like, I think it's 7,' " Wilhelm said. "You could hear them all talking in the dugout." True. Hemmer's 2-run single in the third followed her 2-RBI base hit in the second and her 3-run homer in the first. She belted a solo shot in the fifth, finishing 4-for-4 with 2 homers and 8 RBI, as third-seeded Mundelein pounded No. 2 Libertyville 15-0 in five innings in a semifinal of the Class 4A Carmel regional Wednesday.

  Ellis, Lakes relay mine downstate gold May 19, 2012 12:00 AM
  Warren freshman Brittny Ellis and Lakes' 3,200 relay made quite a splash on a warm day at the girls track and field state meet finals at Eastern Illinois O'Brien Stadium in Charleston. Ellis lived up to her hype by winning the Class 3A state title in the 400 (54.08). The Blue Devils freshman also took sixth in the 200 (24.88) and anchored her team to a ninth-place finish in the 400 relay (48.66). 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)

• 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.
