Justin Cooper saw exactly<br />
what he wanted from<br />
his Glenbrook North team<br />
at its IHSA sectional.<br />
The Spartans finished<br />
ninth in the 14-team sectional<br />
held at Loyola in<br />
Wilmette on Thursday,<br />
May 9, but many of his<br />
young Spartan athletes<br />
finished with personal records<br />
at the right time.<br />
“Generally I was really<br />
happy with how things<br />
went,” the head coach<br />
Cooper said. “We didn’t<br />
qualify anybody to state<br />
but we continue to get<br />
better and better, so I’m<br />
really excited for where<br />
we’re at.”<br />
New Trier won the sectional<br />
with 98 points, edging<br />
out Evanston in the final<br />
event of the afternoon,<br />
who finished the meet<br />
with 97 points.<br />
One of the highlights<br />
for the Spartans in a day<br />
filled with person bests<br />
came when sophomore<br />
Natalie Sandlow finished<br />
third in the 400-meter<br />
dash having entered the<br />
meet with no prior official<br />
time in the meet. Because<br />
of that, Sandlow raced in<br />
the third heat of the race,<br />
beating the rest of the<br />
competition with quite the<br />
advantage.<br />
Sandlow’s large lead<br />
actually made it hard for<br />
her to keep pace with<br />
what the state-qualifying<br />
time would’ve been, according<br />
to her head coach.<br />
‘That’s really challenging<br />
to run out,” Cooper<br />
said. “I’m really proud of<br />
her and how the girls ran<br />
today.”<br />
Alexandra Chertok and<br />
Claudia Herman provided<br />
some other highlights in<br />
the 3,200 run. Chertok<br />
and Herman finished fifth<br />
and sixth, respectively, in<br />
the meet and improved<br />
on their own times. Junior<br />
Carly Anderson finished<br />
fourth in the pole<br />
