Consecutive state titles a first for GBN math team 

Martin Carlino, Editor 

When a group of highly 

talented individuals unites 

to work toward a common 

goal, the probability for 

success is usually pretty 

high. 

Glenbrook North’s math 

team, a group full of skill, 

has long embodied that 

sentiment, consistently 

producing admirable results 

and routinely qualifying 

its whole lineup for the 

state finals. 

And, its track record of 

success is one that keeps 

growing, each year adding 

a new triumph to the list. 

True to its nature, the team 

added one more signature 

touch, one that may even 

be considered its greatest 

— on May 5, claiming 

its second straight state 

championship from the Illinois 

Council of Teachers 

of Mathematics state contest. 

As a team, the Spartans 

finished first overall, while 

also earning first in five 

events, second in three and 

third in three other events. 

Each member of the 

27-student team — consisting 

of 16 boys and 11 

girls — took home at least 

two state medals. 

At the individual level, 

the Spartans had numerous 

top-finishers throughout 

all competitions. 

“I’m proud of the kids 

every year when they work 

hard no matter what place 

they come in, but certainly 

when you win a state 

championship two years 

in a row, other people take 

notice and that makes it 

more exciting for the kids 

and really for the whole 

community,” said Steve 

Goodman, head coach of 

the GBN math team. 

After winning the state 

The Glenbrook North math team stops for a picture after capturing the Illinois 

Council of Teachers of Mathematics Math Contest state championship Saturday, May 

5, in Champaign. Photo submitted 

championship last year, 

several seniors graduated 

from the team, which left 

a small level of uncertainty 

regarding this year’s team. 

But, after its first competition 

of the season, that 

notion was quickly dispelled. 

In early November, 

the Spartans recorded their 

highest score ever in 41 

years of competitions. 

Key to GBN’s success 

this season was leadership 

from the team’s upperclassmen. 

“A lot of the leadership 

actually came from this 

year’s junior class,” Goodman 

said. “The younger 

kids watched those juniors 

practice and work on 

math outside of class and 

watched them talk about 

exciting and interesting 

problems and things they 

learned with each other 

and they wanted to be a 

part of it.” 

For Goodman, watching 

members of the team grow 

is one aspect of coaching 

that will never become old 

for him. 

“As a teacher, I will often 

just see a kid one year 

out of their four years ... 

but, with the math team, I 

get to watch the kids grow 

over their four years,” he 

said. “I get to know them 

pretty well over their four 

years and that’s were it’s 

very rewarding for me 

because I watch the kids 

grow ... both as individual 

people and as math students.” 

After a second consecutive 

state title, members 

of the team are filled with 

pride. 

“I just feel really proud 

of our team,” senior Shalini 

Ramachandra said. 

“They’ve worked so hard 

to get this. ... It’s heartening 

to feel that I get to 

leave the school with a 

positive impact and know 

that we ended on a high 

note.” 

Junior Siva Muthupalaniappan, 

along with other 

members of the team, 

believe the team’s success 

is a testament to its chemistry. 

“I think it really shows 

how we work together 

as teammates,” Muthupalaniappan 

said. “We 

pushed each other to do 

the best that we could.” 

And, behind the team’s 

chemistry are countless 

friendships that have been 

built because of participation 

with math team. 

“I think that the community 

that we built as part 

of our math team can’t be 

characterized as anything 

other than a family,” junior 

Britney Sun said. “We all 

lift each other up.”

GBN senior passes away after brief illness 

Sasha 

Kristin Megrund, of 

Northbrook 

After my much loved lab, Buster, 

passed away in May 2016, I 

swore I’d never get another dog. 

But, In July 2016, I adopted a 

bonded pair of senior black labs, Sasha 13 years 

young, and Sadie, 12 1/2 years young. (Sadly, Sadie 

died from mast cell cancer three months later). 

Sasha, now 14 1/2 years young, has all the energy of 

a puppy! She is my little shadow and loves to follow 

me around. She also loves being outside and going 

for walks! Sasha has been a great addition to the 

family. We recently fostered another senior dog (Lily) 

and Sasha was a wonderful ‘big sister.’ My hope is 

that others consider local shelters and rescue organizations 

as they have some really great dogs!

Northbrook Village Board 

Trustees hear recommendations for property maintenance code updates 

Fouad Egbaria 

Freelance Reporter 

Do you ever have municipal 

code on your mind 

when you put your trash 

out for pickup? 

Probably not — but 

there is a part of the Village’s 

code covering that, 

in addition to a number 

of other everyday things, 

like the length the grass 

on your lawn is allowed 

to reach before you get a 

notice that you are in violation 

of municipal code. 

The Northbrook Village 

Board heard a series 

of recommendations 

regarding updates to the 

Village’s municipal code 

related to property maintenance 

during its Tuesday, 

May 8 meeting, ultimately 

deciding by voice 

25 

vote to approve the updated 

documents at a future 

board meeting. 

Northbrook currently 

follows the 2006 version 

of the International Property 

Maintenance Code, 

a standardized body of 

guidelines for property 

maintenance. Neighboring 

Glenview, for example, 

uses the 2012 version. 

Tom Poupard, the Village’s 

director of development 

and planning 

services, overviewed the 

Architectural Control 

Commission’s recommendations 

with respect to updating 

the municipal code. 

He said staff also recommended 

adopting the 2015 

version of the International 

Property Maintenance 

Code — which is updated 

every three years. 

“There aren’t a tremendous 

amount of new regulatory 

changes in there but 

over time … the language 

is improved, it’s more 

specific, it’s better for enforcement,” 

Poupard told 

the board.

crafting recommendations, 

they have focused 

on the most-received 

complaints. According 

to data included in the 

board packet for the Tuesday 

meeting, there were 

92 complaints related to 

grass and weeds in 2016, 

the most of any complaint 

type. This subgroup of 

complaints also led the 

way in 2017, when there 

were 93 complaints related 

to grass and weeds. 

Meanwhile, in 2016 

construction-related complaints 

came in second 

(76), while complaints 

related to outdoor garbage 

and debris came in third 

(23). 

“While we are fortunate 

that we do not [have] 

widespread problems with 

property maintenance in 

Northbrook, we do believe 

several of the code 

standards could be written 

so as to be more understandable 

and in some 

cases, realistic (for instance, 

the standards for 

garbage cans in the Municipal 

Code),” Poupard 

wrote in a March 3 memo 

to the Architectural Control 

Commission. 

Grass, pool maintenance, 

fencing and composting 

were among the 

areas mentioned by Poupard 

and addressed in the 

proposed amendments. 

For example, current 

code says a property 

owner is in violation if the 

grass on his or her property 

reaches 10 inches 

tall. The proposed amendment 

suggests bringing 

that down to 8 inches, as 

Poupard cited length restrictions 

in other nearby 

Illinois communities and 

the fact that the lower 

height allows the Village 

to address a grass length 

issue before it becomes a 

more serious problem. 

In setting up an explanation 

of trash pickup recommendations, 

Poupard 

said many of the households 

on his block were 

in fact in violation of the 

municipal code this week 

because trash bins had 

been placed on the street 

the night before trash day. 

According to the code, 

trash bins must be put out 

to the street the day of collection 

and removed the 

same day. Poupard said 

the recommendation is to 

amend the code to allow 

for trash bins to be placed 

the night before a pickup 

day. 

The recommendations 

also include guidance on 

boarded-up properties, 

stating doors and windows 

can only remain boarded

up for a maximum of 90 

days (unless an extension 

is granted). 

As for non-compliance, 

the recommendations also 

included a fee schedule 

for violations, which go 

as such for each violation 

in the same code section: 

•$50-$100 for a first 

violation 

•$100-$150 for a second 

violation within the 

same year 

•$200-$750 for each additional 

violation within 

the same year 

•$200-$750 for the 

same violation (regardless 

of time frame)

Commission’s full list 

of proposed code amendments 

can be found in

the meeting, which can

all. 

In honor of Father’s

have to share, The Tower 

wants to see it. 

Send us a photo of your 

dad, and we’ll publish the 

winning entry, plus others,

in time for Father’s Day, 

which is Sunday, June 18. 

The author of the winning 

photo will receive a 

prize from a local business 

to share with his or 

her dad. 

The deadline for entries 

is noon Friday, June 

8, giving residents three 

weeks to submit a photo. 

All ages are encouraged 

to enter the contest, but 

dads must reside in Northbrook.

and last name, as well as

Northbrook/Glenview D30 Board of Education 

Teacher salaries to increase, on 

average, by 2.6 percent over four years 

Neil Milbert 

Freelancer Reporter 

Northbrook/Glenview 

School District 30 teachers 

will see a salary increase 

over the next four 

years. 

The Board of Education 

unanimously approved a 

new collective bargaining 

agreement with the District 

30 Education Association, 

which represents 

teachers, at its Thursday, 

May 10 meeting. 

Under the contract, 

which will begin in the 

2018-19 school year and 

continue through the 

2021-22 school year, salary 

costs will increase by 

an average of 2.6 percent 

throughout the four years, 

while benefit changes are 

projected to be cost neutral. 

It replaces a four-year 

contract that ran through 

the 2016-17 school year 

and then was extended 

through the current school 

year. 

Negotiations began 

in October and ended in 

April, and both sides expressed 

great satisfaction 

with the result. 

“I strongly believe 

working with you taught 

us all a lot and moved us 

all in the right direction,” 

said David Karnoscak, 

vice president of the Education 

Association and 

a fifth-grade teacher at 

Wescott School. 

“We had a collaborative 

process, one I’m proud 

of,” said Chuck Gitles, 

president of the School 

Board. “We have a high 

degree of respect and appreciation 

for all that our 

teachers give. This contract 

provides raises that 

are in line with those of 

comparable districts. We 

believe this contract is 

fair to our teachers and 

responsible to our community.” 

Talia Block, president 

of the Education Association, 

wasn’t present at the 

meeting, but in a press release 

announcing the contract 

agreement, she said 

her organization “looks 

forward to continuing the 

collaborative relationship 

with the school board, 

working together for the 

best interest of the children, 

families and teachers 

of the district.” 

Harassment policy 

enshrined in district code 

A new policy prohibiting 

workplace harassment 

received its first 

reading. 

“It’s a new policy recommended 

by (legal) 

counsel,” explained District 

30 Superintendent 

Dr. Brian Wegley. “Not 

that it is different than 

what we’ve done in the 

past, but now it is codified.” 

Board recognizes students, 

community leaders 

Three winners in the 

Character Counts essay 

contest were recognized 

by the board: Maple 

seventh-grader Fiona 

Yin, Maple eighth-grader 

Sophia Pinc and Maple 

eighth-grader Hallie 

Baer. 

The board recognized 

and thanked the co-presidents 

of the Parent/Teachers 

Organizations at the 

three District 30 schools: 

Dianne Larsen and Tara 

Wesselink at Maple; 

Christie Hartbarger and 

Michelle Hacker-King at 

Wescott; and Katie Schick 

and Melissa Carr at Willowbrook. 

Upcoming events at D30 

The 18th annual Lew 

Blond 5K Run/Walk that 

honors the memory of a 

beloved Maple School 

teacher who died of Lou 

Gehrig’s disease in 2000 

will be held on May 19, 

starting and finishing at 

the school. More than 900 

runners are expected. 

Bill Vaahanen, a 

Wescott music teacher 

who is retiring after 37 

years, will be honored on 

May 24.

Warm weather brings pink flamingos to Northbrook 

Village invites 

residents to 

Flamingo Friday 

May 18 

Submitted by the Village 

of Northbrook 

The Community Relations 

Commission will 

host a combined Welcome 

to Northbrook and Flamingo 

Friday event from 

5:30 to 7 p.m. on Friday, 

May 18, at Northbrook 

Village Hall. 

The annual Flamingo 

Friday and Welcome to 

Northbrook lawn party is 

scheduled just in time to 

kick-off summer fun. 

Representatives from 

the Village, Public Library, 

Park District, and 

Police and Fire Departments, 

as well as other 

community organizations 

will be in attendance to 

help new and seasoned 

residents learn about 

services in the Village 

of Northbrook. Refreshments 

will be served. Stop 

by to meet your neighbors 

and public officials. 

Residents are encouraged 

to participate in the 

Community Relations 

Commission’s popular 

Flamingo Friday “meet 

your neighbors” program. 

Flamingo Friday participants 

will be able to pick 

up their neighborhood’s 

plastic pink flamingo at 

the May 18 event. 

The Northbrook Community 

Relations Commission 

sponsors Flamingo 

Fridays to promote neighborliness, 

public safety and 

just plain fun for all ages. 

What are Flamingo 

Fridays? Flamingo Fridays 

provide a way to 

connect with neighbors 

in a completely casual 

atmosphere. It is a wellestablished 

fact that when 

neighbors get to know 

each other and their children, 

an improved sense 

of support, understanding, 

well-being, and safety are 

the result. 

How does it work? Every 

Friday evening, starting 

around 6 p.m., from 

Memorial Day through 

Labor Day, a neighborhood 

gathering will be 

held at someone’s home. 

The host provides the 

driveway or backyard. 

Everyone brings their 

own lawn chairs, beverages, 

kids, and snacks, if desired. 

Gatherings last 30 

minutes or several hours, 

depending on the group 

assembled on any given 

Friday evening. 

Where do the flamingos 

come in? Whoever volunteers 

to host the Flamingo 

Friday gathering, obtains 

a plastic lawn flamingo 

from the previous host 

and displays it on their 

lawn starting the Monday 

or Tuesday before the 

weekend event. No fuss, 

no RSVPs, no pressure, no 

strings. Attend once, twice 

or as often as you please. 

Residents enjoy a previous Flamingo Friday outside Village Hall. Photo Submitted 

Each neighborhood needs 

only one flamingo, as it is 

passed from driveway to 

driveway each week. 

Where do I get the flamingos? 

Pink flamingos 

can be obtained from the 

Village Hall, along with a 

how-to-get-started information 

sheet. Or, download 

the info sheet and a 

flyer at www.northbrook. 

il.us/flamingo 

Flamingos will be 

available to residents 

free of charge at the Flamingo 

Friday event on the 

lawn of Village Hall from 

5:30 to 7:00 p.m., Friday, 

May 18. 

The Northbrook Fire Department is just one of the many organization that will be present

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER 

Alderman Tack ends 

term after 6 years, new 

alderman sworn in 

The Lake Forest City 

Council said goodbye to 

Alderman Randy Tack and 

hello to a new alderman at 

its Monday, May 7 meeting. 

Three aldermen who 

were re-elected in the 

March 20 municipal election 

were sworn into their 

positions at the meeting: 

Prue Beidler (First Ward), 

Tim Newman (Second 

Ward) and Michelle Moreno 

(Fourth Ward). 

New Alderman Jim Preschlack 

(Third Ward) was 

also sworn into his position 

at the meeting after 

being elected in the March 

20 municipal election. 

Preshlack replaced Tack 

on the council. 

Tack served six years on 

the council, as long as he 

was allowed to serve due 

to a limit of three two-year 

terms. Tack credited the 

city staff for helping him 

learn the ins and outs of 

city government. 

“Over the past six 

years, it’s been an amazing 

thing to do,” Tack 

said. “I learned so much 

about how the city works. 

The city is unbelievably 

well run. These people are 

great at what they do. They 

love what they do. Things 

I knew nothing about, I 

could sit with them for 15 

minutes and I’d know everything 

about it.” 

During his time as third 

ward alderman from May 

2012 to May 2018, Tack 

served as a member of the 

City Council and Finance 

Committee and chairman 

of the Public Works 

Committee; served on the 

Property and Public Lands 

Committee; and was liaison 

to the Parks and Recreation 

Department and 

Committee Representing 

Our Young Adults.

Wilmette police officers, 

resident lauded for heroic 

efforts 

A group of Wilmette 

police officers and a resident 

were recognized for 

their accomplishments at 

the Tuesday, May 8 meeting 

of the Wilmette Village 

Board. 

Life Saving awards were 

presented to resident David 

Zier and officers Stephen 

Leigh, Valerie Davis 

and Julie Parisi for a Sept. 

27, 2017 incident in the 

300 block of Ridge Road 

when a bicyclist collapsed 

in the roadway. Detective 

Connor Cavanagh was 

presented with the Officer 

of the Year Award. This 

award was voted upon by 

the officer’s peers. 

“Internally, Connor has 

become a source of knowledge 

for his co-workers on 

more complex investigations,” 

Police Chief Kyle 

Murphy said. 

Murphy explained that 

the Officer of the Year 

Award is presented to the 

Wilmette police officer 

who has made the most 

significant contribution 

to the police department 

throughout that year and 

who through his dedication, 

loyalty and the consistently 

high quality of 

work sets himself apart as 

a police officer to be emulated.

Seeds of the future 

Wescott, 

Willowbrook fourthgraders 

learn the 

value of trees 

Submitted by District 30 

Representatives from 

the Glenview Lions Club 

visited fourth-graders at 

Wescott and Willowbrook 

to share information about 

tree care and distribute 

Norway spruce saplings on 

Arbor Day, April 27. 

The saplings were provided 

by the Fourth Grade 

Foresters, an organization 

that aims to revitalize the 

celebration of Arbor Day 

in schools. The group has 

planted more than one million 

trees nationwide since 

2007. 

Terry Dooley, a member 

of the Glenview Lions 

Club, told the fourthgraders 

that “now, in the 

era of global warming 

and air pollution, tree 

planting is even more 

important than ever. 

Trees take carbon dioxide 

out of the atmosphere 

to help reduce warming 

and help clean the air we 

breathe. Planting trees is 

a simple, inexpensive and 

easy way to address the 

problem.” 

Glenview Lions Club volunteer Anne Gardner discusses the importance of the seeds 

with Willowbrook fourth-graders (left to right) Jeff Cho, Peter Demos and Ben Meyer. 

Wescott School fourth-graders Shiloh Gordon (left) and Samantha Caporusso-

Staff Report 

To promote Pitch Night, 

an entrepreneurship video 

contest, Glenbrook North 

students visited Field Middle 

School on April 30. 

GBN’s Business INCubator 

course is designed 

to provide students entrepreneurship 

experience by 

creating their own product 

or service business. More 

than 30 business professionals 

from the community 

volunteer in the classroom 

to guide students on areas 

of market research, marketing, 

accounting and law. 

The year culminates with 

Pitch Night, GBN’s very 

own “Shark Tank,” where 

student teams pitch to actual 

investors in hopes of winning 

funding to turn their 

business plans into reality 

the following school year. 

The entrepreneurship 

video contest is open to all 

Northbrook students grades 

6-12. The challenge of it all; 

come up with a business, 

whether it be a product or 

service, to create a solution 

for a problem in the community. 

Five finalists will 

be notified via email and 

Instagram and the winner 

will be chosen by audience 

vote at GBN’s Pitch Night 

on May 23. The winner(s) 

will receive $100 to start 

their business.

Runners take off at the 17th annual Lew Blond Run last 

year at Maple School. 22nd Century Media File Photo 

18 years and counting for 5K 

D30 community 

prepares for 

annual Lew Blond 

Memorial 5K 

Staff Report 

When he first began 

teaching at Maple School, 

Lew Blond was in charge 

of woodworking. 

Over the next 17 years, 

he expanded the class to 

include drafting, jewelry 

design and wielding, and 

became greatly admired 

by colleagues, students 

and parents for his dedication 

and talent as an educator. 

In February 2000, 

Blond passed away from 

Lou Gehrig’s Disease. In 

honor of his memory, a 

group of teachers from 

Maple School came together 

to hold the first 

Lew Blond Memorial 5K 

run/walk during the summer 

of that same year, to 

help raise awareness and 

funds to benefit ALS research. 

The annual 5K, which 

takes place on a 3.2-mile 

flat and scenic course 

through the neighborhood 

surrounding Maple 

School, celebrates its 18th 

anniversary this year. 

The event will begin at 

8 a.m. on Saturday, May 

19, at Maple School, 2370 

Shermer Road, Northbrook. 

A portion of the 

funds are allocated for 

2018 scholarships to graduating 

seniors at GBS and 

GBN. 

Volunteers for the two 

days prior are also needed 

to make the event a success.

Wescott’s Amazing Race fosters 

teamwork, sportsmanship 


Wescott students competed 

in Northbrook/Glenview 

School District 30’s 

version of the CBS reality 

show “The Amazing 

Race” on April 24 and 26. 

During the seventh annual 

competition, Wescott 

students worked in teams 

of six or seven while traveling 

to different parts of 

the world, represented by 

different sections of the 

athletic areas and playground, 

to complete various 

physical challenges 

unique to each country or 

city. 

“The goal of the [event] 

was to foster teamwork, 

cooperation and sportsmanship,” 

said Roy Grober, 

a wellness and physical 

education teacher at 

Wescott. “We encouraged 

each team to work toward 

completing the entire race, 

which included 10 different 

challenges.” 

Wescott Principal Chris Brown earns doctorate 


Wescott School Principal Dr. Chris Brown receives 

congratulations and chants from students and staff on 

April 25 after receiving his doctorate. PHOTO SUBMITTED 

Wescott School Principal 

Chris Brown earned 

his doctorate from Loyola 

University in Chicago after 

successfully defended 

his 195-page dissertation 

on April 24. 

“District 30 exists to 

create a community that 

craves learning, fosters resiliency 

and cares deeply 

for every child,” said Superintendent 

Dr. Brian Wegley. 

“Over the past several 

years, Wescott’s principal 

has exemplified continuous 

learning and perseverance 

as he has completed his 

doctorate. I know the entire 

District 30 family joins 

me in congratulating Dr. 

Brown on this significant 

accomplishment.” 

Brown began his tenure 

at District 30 in 2010 as 

Maple School’s assistant 

principal. He was named 

principal of Wescott in 

2014. 

His educational background 

include a Bachelor’s 

Degree in Music 

Education and Music Performance 

from Ithaca College, 

a Master’s Degree 

in Music Education from 

Northwestern University, 

and an administrative certificate 

from Loyola University. 

The title of his dissertation 

was “Mentoring the 

Millennial: Induction of 

the Millennial Generation 

in Education.” 

The day after defending 

his dissertation, Brown 

was serenaded by the entire 

school as he walked 

the halls with Wegley. Students 

and staff members 

clapped their hands and 

chanted, “Dr. Brown, Dr. 

Brown, Dr. Brown.” 

On April 26, the District 

30 Board of Education 

honored him with cake and 

kind words.

An early look at summer fun 

Martin Carlino 


As rain poured 

down and temperatures 

dipped way 

lower than they should be 

at this time of the year, 

I couldn’t help but set 

my sights on better times 

ahead. 

In my defense, it was 

hard not to do so, especially 

after putting the 

finishing touches on our 

annual summer fun guide 

calendar — which you 

should keep an eye out for 

in the coming weeks. 

So, in light of my 

optimistic thinking, and 

maybe yours as well, 

here’s an early look 

ahead at just some of the 

countless great events 

throughout Northbrook 

this summer. 

• St. Norbert Block Party 

Opt in for fun at this 

classic start of summer. 

The annual block party at 

St. Norbert (Walters Avenue 

and Meadow Road) 

features activities beginning 

at 8 a.m. June 9, with 

a kids fun run and a 5K. 

Afternoon festivities start 

at 3 p.m. And, live bands 

will be performing all day.

• Northbrook’s Fourth of 

July Parade 

Does any event bring 

out the best of summer 

quite like the Fourth of 

July? This annual tradition 

will bring floats through 

downtown Northbrook. 

Make sure to keep an eye 

out for more information 

as this gets closer. A full 

lineup of festivities should 

be announced in early 

June. 

• Second annual Eggfest 

You’ll want to bring 

your appetite for this one. 

Come and taste creations 

from various chefs on 

Sunday, July 7, near the 

Ace Hardware parking 

lot in Northbrook. With a 

year of experience under 

its belt, you won’t want to 

miss year two. 

• Northbrook Days 

Few events can bring 

together the Northbrook 

community quite like 

Northbrook Days. Volunteers 

across the community 

come together 

for five days and put on 

an exciting festival for 

residents of Northbrook 

and surrounding towns. 

This year’s annual festival 

will take place Aug. 1-5, 

giving you plenty of time 

to stop by for some summer 

fun. 

We could fill up pages 

of The Tower with all the 

summer events happening 

throughout Northbrook. 

Unfortunately, we can’t 

do so here, but in just a 

few weeks, you’ll find our 

full list of summer events 

in print. And for even 

more fun, you’ll find extra 

events online at NorthbrookTower.com.

An intriguing number from this week’s edition 

For the second year in a row, 

the Glenbrook North math team 

captured the state championship 

on May 5. For the team’s full 

story, please see page 3. 

NFYN 

From Page 25 

in Waverly, Iowa, after 

searching for a new team 

for more than a year. 

“There is a decline in the 

number of draft horses, so 

good teams are difficult to 

find,” said Todd Price, director 

of Historic Wagner 

Farm. 

Bill and Bob stand about 

17.2-hands high and each 

weigh in at just over a ton. 

They’re Percheron geldings, 

9 and 10 years old. 

Percherons are an aweinspiring 

breed, known for 

their intelligence and muscular 

appearance. 

“Going into the search, 

there were a number of criteria 

that were important to 

us,” Price said. “Disposition, 

age, gender, farm and 

wagon experience, and 

good with people. Bill and 

Bob checked all of those 

boxes and more.” 

The brothers are from an 

Amish farm in Minnesota 

and have worked in teams 

of two-, three- and fourhorse 

hitches in a public 

setting and alone on the 

farm. The goal is to transition 

them into the primary 

team at Wagner Farm. 

Farm staff are getting to 

know Bill and Bob as they 

feed and groom the horses.

northbrooktower.com life & arts 


Residents, groups share heritage with Northbrook 

Hilary Anderson 


Music, dance, ethnic 

dress, food and folklore all 

mixed together for an enjoyable 

afternoon of learning 

how much alike everyone 

is, while discovering 

the unique traditions of the 

many cultures of Northbrook 

residents. 

The Northbrook Community 

Relations Commission 

held its third annual 

Celebration of Cultures 

festival May 6 at Northbrook’s 

North Suburban 

YMCA, offering a colorful, 

fun and informative display 

of diversity. 

“This event is important 

because it awakens us to 

the diversity in our community,” 

said Helena Osori, 

co-chair of the Celebration 

of Cultures. “It also 

gives Northbrook residents 

an opportunity to comes 

together, meet their neighbors 

and learn more about 

their cultures that exist and 

break down any barriers.” 

Chris Beeftink, who 

served along Osori as a cochair, 

shared his thoughts 

about the importance of 

event. 

“The more we learn 

about each other and their 

cultures, the more we can 

humanize the people we 

see every day in our lives. 

It is so important,” Beeftink 

said. 

Visitors to the event had 

much to see and do. 

Northbrook residents 

displayed ethnic clothing, 

food samples, photos and 

other artifacts from their 

ancestral countries at stations 

in the NSYMCA 

gym. 

Northbrook’s Dr. Emmeline 

Hazaray came dressed 

in a green and gold native 

dress decorated with gold 

appliqués called a Kurta 

Churidar, with a coordinating 

scarf-like item wrapped 

around her shoulders and 

neck referred to as a Dupatta. 

“I represent incredible 

India,” Hazaray said. “I 

think once people learn and 

know about others’ cultures 

and countries, they can 

become more civil toward 

each other.” 

Carolyn Vogel, a registered 

nurse and member 

of Northbrook’s Village 

Church, represented the 

medical mission trips she 

and others took to Chiapas, 

Mexico. Many of the items 

at her station represented 

the Mayan culture of the 

country. 

“We [church members] 

went down there and built 

a clinic,” Vogel said. “The 

poorest of the poor live 

there. The people are so 

grateful for anything we 

can do for them. It changed 

my life forever. I now go 

there on my own and have 

for many years. This cultural 

celebration helps others 

see what other parts of 

the world are like and how 

they live.” 

Stella Pillay and Robin 

Sluzas brought Oakton 

Community College’s 

Muslim Student Association 

members, who participated 

in the event. They 

offered samples of homemade 

Samosa, a peas and 

potatoes like dumpling, 

along with sweets. 

“When people learn 

about different cultures, 

they learn more about 

themselves,” Pillay said. 

“I am passionate about 

getting the message out 

concerning who Muslims 

truly are,” said Amena 

Hashmi, president of the 

Muslim Student Association. 

“There is a big community 

[of Muslims] in 

Chicago. People are curious 

and ask many questions. 

In general, they are 

very respectful. We hope 

others are reciprocating 

that respect.” 

Members of the Muslim 

Student Association 

offered the art of henna 

tattooing, which are temporary. 

The ink used is dye 

made from a henna leaf. It 

was a popular event among 

visitors as was evident by 

the long line of children 

and adults wanting a tattoo. 

Bijan Bayzaee, with 

the Iran House of Greater 

Chicago, talked about his 

native country, its diversity, 

cultures and languages

spoken in the northern area 

as opposed to the southern 

part of Iran. 

“The diversity in Iran, 

once called Persia, is reflected 

in the diversity of 

the world,” Bayzaee said. 

“We hope people appreciate 

that we are all one 

family. The earth is our 

homeland and we are its 

citizens.” 

Outside by the food 

trucks, Aleido Chavez and 

Jose Silva made the Venezuelan 

version of snow 

NATIONAL 

cones, Raspados, a popular 

item. In addition to the 

ice and syrup, they added 

sweetened condensed milk 

for more flavor.

Wilmette’s Piero’s offers familiar pizza affair 

Michal Dwojak 

Sports Editor 

People in the Chicagoland 

area take their pizza 

seriously. 

Whether it’s Fridaynight 

dinner or just something 

that’s quick and 

easy to get, pizza seems 

to always be the right 

choice. 

For nearly 30 years, 

Piero’s Pizza, located at 

335 Ridge Road in Wilmette, 

has satisfied those 

pizza needs of not only 

people from Wilmette, but 

others in the North Shore. 

From the classic wooden 

walls to the smell of fresh 

pizza baking in the ovens, 

Piero’s is exactly what 

you imagine when you 

think of a neighborhood 

pizza place. 

The pizzeria opened in 

the strip mall when the 

Caporossi family bought 

a pizzeria that had been 

open for a couple months. 

From there, they used their 

family recipes for pizzas, 

pastas and other specialties 

to become a Wilmette 

classic that people can’t 

give up. 

“I think we have a 

strong following,” Mary 

Caporossi said. “We have 

customers who moved to 

Mundelein who still come 

to pick up pizza and those 

who moved to Wisconsin 

[that] when they’re [back] 

pick up pizzas.” 

The reason people come 

back isn’t hard to see. The 

family uses fresh ingredients 

for everything they 

make, which gives the 

food a taste that’s hard to 

replicate and leaves people 

wanting more. 

“Everything that you eat 

is cut today,” Caporossi 

said. “We cut the green 

peppers in the morning, 

the onions, the mushrooms, 

everything is cut 

The Piero’s Special has sausage, green peppers, 

onions and mushrooms in a stuffed pie. 

Another option for the stuffed pizza is a chopped 

spinach topping. 

from that day. Nothing is 

out of a can or a box.” 

The family has also 

adapted to the times. 

While both types of pizza 

are very popular with 

customers, Caporossi has 

noticed that customers 

look for thinner options to 

avoid carbs. The pizzeria 

also has a gluten-free pizza 

that has been specially developed. 

One of the major changes 

in the past months has 

been a new sauce. Released 

six months ago, the 

new sauce features extra 

virgin olive oil and Parmesan 

and has taken off with 

customers. 

“It’s just something different; 

it just took off,” 

Caporossi said. “We’ve 

tried it and some people 

liked it more and call for 

it, so we thought let’s put 

in on the menu.”

The local establishment 

will seek a new location 

though. The owners of the 

strip mall where the pizzeria 

resides plan to tear the 

building down and place 

an elderly residence in its 

place. Piero’s will have to 

move by July and is seeking 

a place close to downtown 

Wilmette to continue 

serving its loyal customers. 

But that doesn’t mean 

saying goodbye will be 

easy. 

“It’s going to be the 

saddest day of my life,” 

The thin vegetarian pizza features a variety of seven different vegetables at Piero’s 

Pizzeria in Wilmette. Photos by Megan Bernard/22nd Century Media 

A thin-crust Piero’s pizza with sausage and pepperoni. Customers can choose 

between the new sauce and the original. 

Caporossi said. 

A group of editors from 

22nd Century Media decided 

to try the pies for 

ourselves, and boy was 

there a lot. We started with 

the spinach-stuffed pizza 

($13.45), which provided 

a good vegetarian option 

where customers can be 

like Popeye and taste the 

fresh spinach. 

Editors also sampled the 

Piero’s Special ($16.95), 

which features sausage, 

green peppers, onions and 

mushrooms in a stuffed 

pie. Each bite included 

the fresh vegetables that 

Caporossi mentioned, 

which made for a full bite 

each time. 

Caporossi also prepared 

a thin vegetarian pizza 

($18.95) for the group. 

The pizza consists of seven 

different vegetables: 

onions, mushrooms, green 

peppers, black olives, garlic, 

tomatoes and spinach. 

Even though there were 

plenty of different tastes, 

it all blended well together 

with the sauce. 

Finally, we sampled the 

original and new sauces on 

a thin-crust, half-sausageand-half-pepperoni 

pie, 

and everyone agreed they 

could see what the buzz 

was about for the new 

sauce.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Holt Oliphant 

Oliphant is a major contributor 

for the Glenbrook 

North boys lacrosse team. 

When and why did you 

start playing lacrosse? 

I started playing lacrosse 

freshman year and it was 

just something I wanted 

to play and never got the 

chance to. It seemed really 

fun to me 

What do you like most 

about the sport? 

I love the speed and the 

physicality. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before a 

game? 

I go to the bathroom 

with about three minutes 

left before the start of the 

game. It started when I 

was 8 with hockey and that 

just carried over. 

Boys Water Polo 

May 7 - Glenbrook North 

10, Taft 8 

The Spartans held off a 

push to win their opening 

game in the sectional. 

May 9 - Evanston 7, GBN 

5 

North couldn’t keep up 

with the Wildkits, ending 

their season. 

Boys Volleyball 

May 5 - GBN 2, New Trier 

1 

North took down the 

Trevians in a hard-fought 

battle between the two 

high school highlights 

The rest of the week in high school sports 

elite teams. 

May 8 - Deerfield 2, GBN 

1 

The Spartans couldn’t 

finish it off against the 

Warriors in the third set, 

Baseball 

May 5 - GBN 3, Glenbrook 

South 2 

The Spartans won their 

17th game of the season 

with a close win over their 

rival. 

May 8 - GBN 10, Maine 

West 6 

A big fifth inning helped 

the Spartans take down 

Maine West. 


West 3 

North improved to 19-6- 

1 after a walk-off win. 

Softball 

May 5 - Libertyville 8, 

GBN 2 

GBN couldn’t find any 

of the right switches in its 

loss. 


East 0 

The Spartans offense exploded 

but it didn’t need so 

many runs thanks to Lauren 

Mendelson’s second 

no-hitter of the year. 

What is your favorite 

sports moment? 

It was qualifying for nationals 

at hockey. It was a 

cool experience. 

If you were a superhero, 

what superpower would 

you want? 

I would want to be able 

to shape shift so I could 

breathe under water and 

fly, do all that stuff. 

What would you do if you 

won the lottery? 

I would buy a nice house 

and then save a lot of the 

money for future purposes. 

What is one thing people 

don’t know about you? 

Most people don’t know 

that Holt is my middle 

name and my first name is 

Raymond. 

If you could play another 

sport what sport would 

it be? 

I would want to ski. I 

love going fast and the 

speed of going down a 

mountain. It seems really 

cool to be a skier. 

Submitted Photo 

What is one thing on your 

bucket list? 

I want to go to a Game 

7 of the Stanley Cup Final. 

If you could be any 

animal, which would you 

choose? 

I would be an eagle because 

they fly and you’re 

the king of the sky.

“This past week, Loyola 

Academy administrators 

received several confidential 

complaints alleging 

inappropriate or offensive 

comments made to team 

members by Head Varsity 

Girls’ Soccer Coach Mr. 

Craig Snower,” Hunt said 

in a statement. 

“Loyola Academy is 

committed to maintaining 

a safe environment for our 

students and their wellbeing 

is our highest priority. 

An investigation has 

been opened, and Loyola 

Academy is fully cooperating 

with the appropriate 

authorities. Loyola Academy 

has no further comment 

at this time.” 

The Ramblers won the 

GCAC championship on 

May 7 in a 2-1 win over 

St. Francis before it defeated 

Lakes Community 

High School the day before 

the school terminated 

its relationship with the 

coach. Loyola also played 

a day after, on Friday, 

May 11, in a 1-0 win over 

Stevenson. 

According to the Loyola 

website, part of the procedure 

to protect students is 

as follows: “If you are a 

Loyola Academy student 

and feel that you have 

been the victim of any 

inappropriate behavior 

by an adult, who works 

or volunteers at Loyola 

Academy, you should report 

it to your counselor, 

the Assistant Principal for 

Student Services, or any 

adult at Loyola Academy 

or at home with whom 

you feel comfortable. You 

may also contact the Illinois 

Department of Children 

and Family Services 

and/or the Wilmette Police 

Department.” 

During his 15-year career 

at Loyola, he compiled 

a 281-62-32 record.

Junior Sydney Kunkler 

came into the sectional as 

the two-time defending 

sectional champion in the 

triple jump but had a feeling 

that this year would 

be different. A week after 

the conference meet, she 

came back to win the sectional 

for the third consecutive 

season, jumping 36 

feet, eight inches to beat 

her Evanston opponent by 

nearly a foot. Her jump in 

both the long and triple 

jump were personal bests 

by an inch. 

“There was definitely 

more pressure on me this 

time,” Kunkler said. “Going 

into the finals was less 

pressure for me, which really 

isn’t a good thing for 

me because I like pressure 

to push me. There was 

some pressure to break 

the school record of 37-2, 

but hopefully I’ll be able 

to get it at state or next 

year.” 

Kunkler, who would 

also qualify in the long 

jump, finishing second 

with a jump of 17 feet, 

10.5 inches, 

“Coming in freshman

because I didn’t have

Spagnoli and his team 

have been happy with 

their sectional finishes but 

are looking to place in the 

top 10 at the state meet 

and know that if they want 

to do that, they’ll have to 

focus on being the best 

they can be. 

“The thing now is you 

don’t wanna say is right 

now the only reason we’re 

here is to go downstate 

and get a lane or get three 

attempts to run down a 

runway,” he said. “The 

whole reason we’re going 

is to earn points and earn 

a top-10 finish at the least. 

That’s our goal. 

“Our goal at the beginning

championship, 

sectional championship

Northbrook’s Hardy 

prepares for pro career 

Alan P. Henry 


As Glenbrook North and 

University of Illinois golf 

star Nick Hardy prepares to 

tee it up for his first start as 

a professional in the Rust- 

Oleum Championship on 

June 4 at the Ivanhoe Club 

in Mundelein, the game 

plan is to stay within himself. 

“I’m going to prepare for 

it just like any other tournament,” 

said the 22-year-old 

Northbrook native. “I’m 

going to keep all my variables 

the same or as similar 

as possible, and keep my 

routine the same. It’s been 

working for me so I am going 

to keep doing that.” 

Hardy, who is completing 

his senior year at Illinois, 

will officially turn pro 

at the Web.com Tour event, 

where he has received a 

sponsor invitation, following 

the NCAA Men’s Golf 

Championship. 

“I’ve had a great college 

experience at the University 

of Illinois and have 

learned a lot from Coach 

[Mike] Small,” said the 

two time individual Big 

Ten champion. “I look forward 

to moving on to the 

next phase of my golf career. 

I know how valuable a 

sponsor exemption is and I 

am very appreciative to the 

Rust-Oleum Championship 

for giving me this opportunity.” 

Hardy’s caddie in the 

Rust-Oleum Championship 

will be Eric Markus, 

who was a junior champion 

and a teammate of Hardy’s 

on the GBN golf team. 

Markus has been Hardy’s 

caddie since 2013. 

Tournament Director 

Scott Cassin called Hardy 

Nick Hardy will make his pro debut on June 4. 22nd 

Century Media File Photo 

one of “the finest young 

players to come out of the 

state of Illinois in decades” 

and said he expected him 

“to compete at high level 

and use the tournament as 

a springboard to future success.” 

Of the course at Ivanhoe, 

which Hardy has played, 

he said: “It is a really good 

driving golf course. If you 

drive it well, you will set 

yourself up for some birdie 

chances.” 

Hardy is literally a homegrown 

talent, who had a 

golf club in his hand almost 

as soon as he could walk 

and played in his first tournament 

when he was nine. 

“Anetsberger Golf 

Course and Sportsman’s 

were the two courses I 

played at until I got to high 

school,” he said. One of his 

favorite holes at Sportsman’s 

is the par-5 17th. “I 

was just trying to get over 

the water in two. Now, I am 

just trying to hit the green 

in two, and it is a tough 

green to hit.” 

Hardy’s resume is an impressive 

one. 

The 2014 GBN graduate 

made the cut at the 2015 

U.S. Open at Chambers 

Bay after winning the Big 

Ten Championship and being 

named Big Ten Freshman 

of the Year. 

He tied for 52nd as a 

sophomore with a 10-over 

par 290 at the Open, beating 

out the likes of Phil 

Mickelson, Ernie Els and 

Luke Donald, as well as 

dozens of professionals, including 

Tiger Woods, who 

didn’t make the cut. Hardy 

had a poor third round, 

shooting a 77, but rebounded 

with a 68 in the fourth 

and final round, which was 

better than eventual champion 

Jordan Spieth’s score 

in that round. 

“It gave me a lot of confidence 

and proved to me 

that I can compete at the 

highest level, and I’ve gotten 

a lot better since then,” 

said Hardy. 

In 2016, he qualified for 

the U.S. Open and played 

in the Rust-Oleum Championship 

on a sponsor’s 

exemption. In 2017, Hardy 

made the cut at the PGA 

TOUR’s John Deere Classic 

in the Quad Cities. 

In top amateur events, 

he made the Western Amateur’s 

prestigious Sweet 

Sixteen three times.

Softball 

Smart baserunning leads 

to Spartan win over Giants 

David Jaffe 


A lot of things went well 

for Glenbrook North on 

Thursday, May 10 at Highland 

Park. 

But what got the Spartans 

(11-12, 5-5) going 

early was their aggressiveness 

on the bases. 

GBN stole six bases and 

advanced several more 

runners on passed balls, 

putting them in scoring 

position early. 

Then the bats came alive 

with a seven-run second 

inning as they dominated 

en route to a 13-0 five inning 

win. 

Nicole Pyke put GBN 

on the board, scoring on 

a passed ball in the top of 

the first after she had stolen 

second earlier. 

“It was pretty important 

to run the bases the way 

we did today,” Pyke (3 for 

4) said. “They’re a pretty 

good team so we knew we 

had to come out strong. I 

think running the bases aggressively 

helped set the 

tone.” 

“We always try to be 

aggressive on the bases,” 

GBN coach Bridget Matsunaga 

said. “We have a 

lot of quick players at the 

top of our lineup so we 

try to use that to our advantage. 

And we wanted 

to get off to a good start. 

One of our last games we 

gave up seven runs early 

to Vernon Hills so we 

know it can come back to 

bite you if you don’t get 

early runs.” 

Then GBN’s offense 

erupted in the second inning. 

The Spartans scored 

on another passed ball, 

making it 2-0. Three 

straight RBI singles from 

Lauren Cole, Nicole Amen 

and Pyke followed, increasing 

the advantage 

to 5-0. Victoria Nagle 

reached on an error that 

scored two more runs 

and Julia Navarro’s RBI 

groundout made it 8-0. 

“We got a lot of girls 

opportunities to have atbats,” 

Matsunaga said. 

“We had solid line drives 

and did a good job waiting 

on certain pitches. Highland 

Park’s pitcher has a 

good changeup so we did 

a good job of fouling those 

pitches off and working 

the count.” 

The Spartans scored 

three more in the third on 

a two-run single by Nagle 

and a sacrifice fly by 

Lauren Mendelson. GBN 

completed its scoring in 

the fourth when two runs 

scored on an error that allowed 

Hannah Nyren to 

reach first. 

On the mound Mendelson 

and Emily Szczepkowicz 

combined for 

a shutout. While GBN 

knows what they’re getting 

from Mendelson, its 

regular starter, Sczepkowicz 

pitched three innings 

giving up two hits and 

walking three. She faced 

tough situations with the 

Giants loading the bases in 

the third and getting runners 

to second and third in 

the fifth but she ultimately 

came out of both jams unscathed. 

“This was the first game 

Emily’s pitched in this 

year,” Pyke said. “I was 

glad to see her get the 

opportunity to pitch. She 

may have been a little 

nervous but I think she 

was mostly excited to get 

the chance to be out there 

and we were excited for 

her. Our defense was really 

good today and were 

able to make the routine 

plays so I think that really 

helped as well.” 

“Emily’s only a sophomore,” 

Matsunaga said. 

“To come in after Lauren 

can be intimidating. But 

she came in with the right 

attitude and said I got this. 

She did well and it was a 

courageous performance. 

The defense behind her 

did a good job helping her 

out, too.” 

Highland Park had runners 

on in every inning. In 

addition to having good 

chances in the third and 

fifth, the Giants got a runner 

to third in the first inning. 

They were just unable 

to bring them in. 

“We had some good hits 

but hit a lot of balls right to 

them,” Highland Park assistant 

coach and assistant 

athletic director Colleen 

Boilini said. “The last time 

we played them we scored 

three runs right away. But 

I think overall we hit the 

ball better today. We just 

couldn’t advance the runners.” 

GBN’s big inning put 

things away and it started 

with how they ran the bases. 

“We got pretty flustered 

during that second inning,” 

Boilini said. “When they 

scored seven runs in that 

inning, you could kind of 

tell that we got flustered. 

Our pitcher Lydia (Taylor) 

has thrown the ball well all 

year. But they hit the ball 

well and were running every 

chance they had.”

Girls soccer 

Spartans fall to Trevians in conference championship 

Michal Dwojak, Sports Editor 

A span of a couple 

minutes can change the 

outcome of a game, and 

sometimes, a championship. 

That came into fruition 

when Glenbrook North 

and New Trier battled it 

out for the Central Suburban 

League Championship 

on May 8. The 

Spartans used the first two 

minutes of the game to 

set the tone in what they 

hoped would be enough 

to surprise one of the best 

teams in the nation, but 

the Trevians used four 

minutes at the end of the 

first half and beginning 

of the second to eliminate 

any hope of a GBN upset, 

defeating the Spartans 

3-1. 

“There were flashes of 

really good things and I 

think it’s all about putting 

together an 80-minute 

game to play these types 

of steep competition later 

come playoff time,” GBN 

head coach Craig Loch 

said. 

GBN started the home 

championship game with 

an impressive start when 

Alyssa Nekritz scored 

just over a minute into the 

game and surprise New 

Trier. The Spartans didn’t 

let up, though, creating 

different offensive opportunities, 

but also limiting 

what the Trevians tried to 

run. 

North ran a 4-4-2, 

something New Trier 

hadn’t defended against 

this season and proved 

to provide some problems. 

The Trevians tried 

to push the ball deep into 

the GBN zone, but whenever 

they got there, the 

Spartans defenders had a 

solution and made sure

the ball didn’t make its 

way toward the goal. 

But then New Trier put 

it together. 

The comeback started 

in the 37th minute of 

the game when Fallon 

Warshauer scored on a 

dribbler that just made 

it past the GBN goalkeeper. 

Then Nicole 

Kaspi changed the pace 

completely when she 

scored on a rebound that 

bounced off of Spartans 

goalie Ellie Scott. 

Meredith Nassar scored 

with 25:53 left in the 

game to add one more insurance 

goal. 

“I think going into it, 

we knew GBN was an 

amazing team,” Kaspi 

said. “During the game, 

we were shaken up because 

they were able to 

score early, but we leaned 

on each other and relied 

on each other.” 

The Trevians talked it 

over at the half by themselves 

before head coach 

Jim Burnside came over 

to talk about what happened 

and what needed to 

be done. This is an experienced 

New Trier team 

that’s won conference 

championships and state 

titles, so they know they 

can put it together. 

Burnside still wants 

his team to work out possessing 

the ball better and 

take advantage of key moments 

in the last regular 

season game before starting 

the campaign for another 

state championship. 

He knows his team 

can flip the switch like it 

did against GBN, but he 

Glenbrook North’s Katie Benson moves the ball against New Trier on May 8 in Northbrook. Photos by Michal 

Dwojak/22nd Century Media 

doesn’t always want them 

to have to flip it. 

“I know it’s there,” 

Burnside said. “I don’t 

like that and I don’t want 

to have to that happen 

when we fall behind, but 

it’s good to see the grit 

when we fall behind out 

of there and do what we 

need to do.” 

GBN wasn’t happy to 

just be in the championship 

game. The Spartans 

have caught a lot of teams 

by surprise this season 

and have proven why they 

can be considered one of 

the best in the state, up 

there with New Trier. 

While the team didn’t 

look to just participate in 

the championship game, 

they knew playing New 

Trier would be a good 

measuring stick as to 

where they are this season. 

“We definitely learned 

a lot,” Nekritz said. “We 

Alyssa Nekritz (left) battles for the ball with a New Trier player. 

learned how to play better 

in the air. We learned 

that we can play in games 

like this. We haven’t been 

that good in the past few 

years, but now we can 

compete against the top 

teams in the state.” 

And they don’t want to be 

called a surprise team either. 

“I think we’re a dangerous 

team,” Loch said. 

“I don’t think we’re an 

underdog. I think we can 

have that mindset to push 

ourselves, but I think we 

can compete with anyone 

in the state.”

Glenbrook North had 

worked all season to 

achieve their best, and 

that’s what head coach 

Justin Cooper got from his 

runners at the IHSA Sectional 

meet on Thursday, 

May 10, in Skokie. 

While none of the his 

runners qualified for the 

state meet, many of the 

Spartans finished with 

personal bests and he 

saw his team get better 

as the season went 

along. 

“Some of our top performances 

were our fourby-one 

and four-by-two 

ran season bests, which 

was great,” Cooper said. 

“They were in the top six 

so they scored points. 

“I think we exceeded 

our expectations in most 

events. I’d say a lot of 

girls are [setting personal 

records] and peaking at 

the right time of the season 

is a great thing to see 

as a coach and all I can really 

ask for.” 

A week after winning 

seven of 18 events at its 

conference meet, Loyola 

Academy took first in the 

800-meter relay and pole 

vault. 

The relay team of Jacqueline 

Topping, Arianna 

Awdisho, Brooke Moran 

and Addison Bendery won 

the race in 1 minute, 42.93 

seconds and Kate Santangelo 

won the pole vault by 

defeating her competition 

by six inches after hitting 

the 10-foot, six-inch mark 

to help the Ramblers finish 

fifth at the meet. 

“Sectional champ (Santangelo), 

she [set a personal 

record], best she’s ever 

done,” Simon said. “She 

just kept thinking 10-6 in 

her head and she thought 

she could do it. If you 

can do that, you’ll be in 

good shape. 

The 3,200-meter relay 

of Sarah Jay, Louisa Edwards, 

Nicole Cleland 

and Emily Plodzeen took 

third, finishing with a time 

of 9:31.75, Bendery second 

in the 100-meter dash 

in 12.50 and 200-meter 

dash (25.69). 

Bendery set a personal 

record in the long jump 

and set the school record 

in the 100, beating alum 

Debbie Mokeleba’s 12.6. 

Glenbrook South finished 

two points behind 

Loyola thanks to impressive 

performances in the 

field events. Sophomore 

Raelynn Roberson took 

first in the long jump with 

a jump of 18 feet, eight 

inches, while teammates 

Taylor Ozimek and Annie 

Streb qualified for state in 

the high jump. 

“Today’s been a pretty 

good day,” GBS coach 

Anthony Griffin said. “We 

qualified our four-by-200 

relay team, which was 

a goal of ours, Raelynn 

Glenbrook North’s Leah Matlin (left) anchoring the Spartans’ 4 X 100 relay team, 

flanked by Lake Forest’s Kamila Obrzut at the IHSA Sectional on Thursday, May 10, in 

Skokie. Gary Larsen/22nd Century Media 

Roberson did a great job 

for us. Emily Noone four 

years in a run qualifying 

on the 800, that’s great.” 

Roberson qualified for 

her second individual 

event after finishing third 

in the 100 with a time of 

12.6, while Emily Noone 

qualified in the 800 after 

running 2:17.88. 

“All you can do is ask 

them to do is their best,” 

Griffin said. “Raelynn’s 

just a competitor. She 

works hard, loves the 

sport, has a great support 

system. Her competitive 

nature is what makes her 

so good. she wants to be 

the best. You can’t beat 

that and she has the mental 

toughness to do it as 

well.” 

For the fourth year in 

a row, coach Robert Spagnoli 

and his New Trier 

Trevians walked out of 

the sectional meet with 

smiles on their faces after 

winning the team title at 

the sectional. The Trevians 

finished with 100.5 

points, outdistancing 

Evanston, which finished 

with 81. Highland Park 

was third with 69 points, 

Loyola fifth with 64 and 

GBS sixth with 62. 

“You’re just so happy 

for the kids right now 

and heartbroken for the 

kids that were so close,” 

Spagnoli said. “You see 

all the hard work and 

the dedication they put 

in and it’s paying off 

right now. 

“To have these kids step 

up as a group and do what 

they did, you have all the 

confidence in the world in 

them to qualify and to not 

only qualify, but to also 

have a big time drop.”
