Barrington brings out the best Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
Welcome to Barrington, Mid-Suburban League competitors. You were guests one of the finest boys swimming teams in the history of the conference, and more supporting evidence came forth Saturday. The host Broncos finished with 273 points to win the MSL championships in workmanlike fashion. Barrington answered challenges to win all three relays, but beyond that their only victory came from Kyle Ujiye in the 100-yard butterfly (50.46). That oddity is simply due to the overall balance of top-level swimmers in the conference, though. And no one else could come close to matching the completeness of Barrington’s lineup. “With the team we have, our focus this year really has to be on swimming our best at state,” said Barrington senior Jack Strauss, who was second in the 200 free and 100 free and anchored the Broncos’ freestyle relays. “Our goal for this meet was mainly to be consisent with our times across the board, and I think we pretty much did that.”

Confident Conant in just the right ‘state’ of mindFeb 2, 2013 12:00 AM
Conant coach Jennifer Mikrut knew it was going to be a good day for the Cougars after only two games were in the books at Saturday’s Fremd girls bowling sectional.“We were in first place at that time,” said Mikrut, “and it really gave the girls a lot of confidence. It was an outstanding kickoff to the day and they were excited. At that point, I think they knew what they could do.”What the Cougars did was erase the memory of last year’s sectional tournament – when Conant missed out on a state berth by just eight pins – to win Saturday at Arlington Lanes and move on to next weekend’s state tourney at Cherry Bowl Lanes in Rockford.Conant’s total six-game score of 5838 bested second-place Prospect by just 73 pins, but the Knights weren’t disappointed as they also qualified for a trip to Cherry Bowl with their runner-up placement.
