DeLoye, Barrington quickly get back on track downstate May 24, 2013 12:00 AM
The disappointment that Barrington junior Parker Deloye felt after the high jump went away — quickly. All it took was two laps around the track by the members of the Broncos' 800-meter relay team, and all was well again with Deloye. During the prelims session of the Class 3A boys track and field state championships at Eastern Illinois University and O'Brien Field, Deloye missed the cut in the high jump but bounced back with a robust leadoff leg on the Broncos 800 relay. JP Brooks, Brendan Melynchuk and Scotty Miller joined him in a school record 1:28.64 to earn a spot in Saturdays' finals as the third overall seed. "This definitely makes up for earlier," Deloye said.

Claussen, Vernon Hills having fun winning May 22, 2013 12:00 AM
When she went to bat with the bases loaded in the top of the seventh inning, the last thing on Jenn Claussen’s mind was hitting a you-know-what. “I had no intention of doing that,” said the Cougars senior pitcher. “I just didn’t want to strike out. I just wanted to get on base.” But you know what? She cleared the bases. Claussen’s grand slam over the right-center field fence all but sealed the Cougars’ 7-0 victory over St. Viator in the semifinal of Lions’ own Class 3A regional in Arlington Heights.
