  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.”

  Tired Curia wins for Naperville North Jan 26, 2013 12:00 AM
  Naperville North's Eric Curia is officially ready for the postseason. Curia, who qualified for state last year in both the 500 freestyle and the 200 freestyle, won the 500 and swam on the winning 400 freestyle relay team at Saturday's Metea Valley's Mustang Invite. "My strategy for in-season racing is to get as tired as possible, and being this tired and winning today means I'm ready for my taper," said Curia, who will play water polo at the U.S. Air Force Academy next year. "In the 500 I just try to go out fast and hang on to the end. My goals are to break 4:30 at state and finish in the top six." Curia's time for the 500 on Saturday was 4:48.11.

• The winner, and still champion in the MSL East, is BG Jan 25, 2013 12:00 AM
  In a setting befitting a prize fight, the heavyweights of Mid-Suburban East boys swimming slugged it out on Friday as Prospect hosted Buffalo Grove at Wheeling High School. The Bison and Knights had both defeated each of their previous four East opponents, so the divisional championship belt was hanging in the balance. Oddly, though there was no clear knockout blow delivered as the Bison held on for a 94.5-91.5 victory to wrap up their second straight East title.
