LEMONT – Hundreds of runners will hit the hills Saturday for Lemont’s eighth annual Advocate Good Samaritan Quarryman Challenge 10 Mile and 5K. The race will begin and end outside Lemont Village Hall. It is the Chicago-area’s hilliest and most challenging course, according to race director and Lemont resident Dave Fako. “We’ve got some unique terrain in Lemont,” Fako said. Fako is among the race’s founding organizers. The Quarryman is a village-run event, but the race was the brainchild of a group of local business owners who wanted to make Lemont a destination and thought the event had the potential to draw visitors to the village. “It’s developed a reputation for being really a safe, well-run competitive event,” Fako said. This year, Fako estimated the race will meet or exceed last year’s all-time registration high of 675 participating runners and that most of them will come from outside Lemont, with some even traveling out of state for the event. In total, 1,000 people are anticipated to attend the race. “It gives people an opportunity to see our town and specifically our downtown,” said Trustee Jeanette Virgilio, who is the Lemont Vil-

All the event costs are covered by registration fees and sponsorships, and most sponsors are local businesses and organizations. The course covers residential neighborhoods east and west of State Street. Event attendees are invited to cheer, play music and write encouraging messages for the runners on the streets in chalk. After the race, a pizza party with beer and music will be held in the Village Hall parking lot. The race is organized and

executed by about 200 volunteers. They include members of a student group from the Old Quarry Middle School Junior National Honor Society, who have participated for the past several years. “This race wouldn’t be the race that has developed over the years without our volunteers,” said Virgilio. Set-up will begin at 6 a.m. on Main Street. The race will start at 7:30 a.m., and cleanup is expected to be completed by 10:30 a.m. Runners can register on race day. The 10-mile registration costs $55, and 5K registrations is $40.

Multiple road closures Saturday for Quarryman race By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Several roads will be closed during the Advocate Good Samaritan Quarryman Challenge 10 Mile and 5K in downtown Lemont on Saturday, according to a news release from the organizers. The

road closure specifics are as follows: • Main Street west of Stephen Street to Lockport Street will be closed from 6 to 9 a.m. • Main Street east of Stephen Street to the intersection of Main Street and Illinois Street will be closed from 6 to 10:30 a.m.

• The intersection of Stephen Street and Main Street will close briefly at 7:30 a.m. • Illinois Street will remain open. But the race route crosses Illinois at Lemont Street and Holmes Street, which is expected to cause temporary delays. • McCarthy Road will remain open. However, run-

planning their drive to the school. Test-takers should avoid Illinois Street and the intersections at McCarthy Road and Julia and Grant streets and approach the school from the east via Main Street or McCarthy Road, using the driveway near the ball fields to minimize delays.

LEMONT – David Deitemyer, Patrick Kerrigan and Brian Bushnell were elected to the Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A Board of Education in the April 9 consolidated general election, according to unofficial vote totals. “I think that the village was fortunate to have five candidates, all of whom were very genuine and very earnest,” said Deitemyer. Deitemyer, Kerrigan and Bushnell received 21.3, 21.13 and 20.86 percent of the 4,879 votes cast, respectively, and have each been elected to serve a four-year term on the board. “It’s always good when the community chooses you,” said Bushnell. “I’m honored.” Candidates Susan Petrarca and Michael Clausen received 19.55 and 17.16 percent of the votes, unofficial totals showed. Outgoing board members Kevin Doherty, Lisa Wright and Karen Siston did not seek re-election. District 113A has faced significant financial challenges in recent years. The district reached a deficit of nearly $3 million, its lowest ever, in June 2008, said Business Manager Barbara Germany. District 113A was placed on a “financial difficulty” list by the Illinois State Board of Education in Decem-

ber 2009 and remains on state watch. Major layoffs were approved in early 2010, which led the district to cut 70 staff members and caused class sizes to rise significantly, Superintendent Susan Birkenmaier said. Simultaneously, funding for extracurricular activities, band and choir was reconfigured so that booster clubs and parents covered the costs instead of the district. The district has not invested in curriculum, technology or facilities since 2010. District class sizes average 27 to 36 students per class, Birkenmaier said. When asked about their top priorities for the district, both Kerrigan and Bushnell cited lowering class sizes and prioritizing technology and curriculum. All of the new board members addressed the importance of cohesion among the board, touching on issues such as increasing trust in the board within the community and cultivating respect among board members. “I look forward to working with the current board members,” said Kerrigan. Voter turnout on election day in the district’s 14 Cook County precincts was 10.65 percent, while 16.6 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in the five DuPage County precincts. In total, 1,919 ballots were cast in the district election.

By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com LEMONT – In the mood for a cold pint? A craft brewery is considering making its home in downtown Lemont. Members of the Lemont Village Board discussed potential retail space with the founders of The Brew Hounds, an up-and-coming production craft brewery, at an informal special meeting April 8 at Bottles. “A business like a craft brewery is a perfect fit for downtown and the historic

village of Lemont,” said Mayor Brian Reaves. The Brew Hounds is looking at a 5,000-square-foot space at 431 Talcott Ave. in addition to five other potential locations in the western suburbs along the Interstate 355 and Interstate 88 corridors. “It’s off two major highways, which is very important,” said Chris Heinen, who is one of the founders of The Brew Hounds. Heinen and two of his three business partners met through the Plainfield Ale and Lager Enthusiasts. The foursome hope to play a role in introducing the midwest to the craft beer phenomenon. “It gives people an opportunity to do something unique in the downtown area,” said Trustee Debby Blatzer. If The Brew Hounds is brought to Lemont, the Talcott

Avenue space would house a brewery, tasting room and packaging, shipping and loading facilities. The brewery would serve four regular beers on tap – an IPA, a blonde ale, an amber and a stout – as well as two seasonal beers. The people behind The Brew Hounds hope to be open for business by spring 2014, at which point they plan to hire five employees. Progress is being made toward Art Logistics’ opening in the village as well. During a Village Board meeting Monday, trustees passed a resolution recommending 6b status for the logistics company. The county-issued incentive status is typically granted to industrial properties and would allow the business a property tax reduction.

Special Kids Day is a non-for-profit organization providing celebratory events for children with disabilities and their families in environments designed to accommodate their special needs.

Art Logistics has purchased 10 acres of land on the 13000 block of Main Street. The company submitted engineering and building plans to the village, which are under review by the building department, Village Administrator Ben Wehmeier said in an interview with The Lemont Reporter/ Met. There is no projected open date for the business, which specializes in trucking maintenance, operations and product manufacturing. The Main Street property is vacant and will likely require months of construction before it is prepared to function as a trucking facility, said Wehmeier. Art Logistics employs 150 people, and the company will hire an additional 30 employees when it opens in Lemont. Wehmeier said that the

business will increase the village’s daytime population, which could assist in local development efforts. “It helps some of the neighboring businesses,” said Wehmeier. During the village administrator report, Wehmeier said that residents should be prepared for construction next week as the Triangle Project – which will install improvements on Archer Avenue, McCarthy Road and Derby Road – progresses. Wehmeier told the Reporter that Derby Road is expected to close next week and will remain out of service for several months. Businesses located on Derby Road will be accessible via McCarthy Road during the closure. Wehmeier said construction on Walker and McCarthy roads will begin in early May.

Rare diseases challenge fire chief ’s granddaughter, her family

BOLINGBROOK – Laughter is a powerful remedy. And while positive thinking, smiling and giggling might not be the best medicine for 4-yearold Bolingbrook resident Katie Churulo, it often helps her family cope with the young girl’s disposition. Katie is battling two rare, unrelated diseases: truncus arteriosus and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. As medical bills pile up, close friends, family and community members showed their support by gathering for a fundraiser the night of April 5 at Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill in Bolingbrook. About 370 people attended the event, raising more than

uation,” Stephanie Churulo explained. “They are patient with her, protective of her. The four of them have always been really close.” Katie was born Aug. 8, 2008 – about one month premature – and was diagnosed with the rare congenital heart defect truncus arteriosus. The youngest of the four Churulo children, the 13-day-old Katie underwent open heart surgery to repair a hole between her left and right ventricles to prevent heart failure. Although she was in critical condition the first 48 hours following the procedure, the surgery was a success. Katie even improved and stabilized without further intervention, a remarkable feat and testament to her strength, Stephanie Churulo said. But the family remained conscious that Katie would need a second open heart surgery in the not-so-distant future. “She had her second open heart surgery when she was 2-and-a-half years old,” Steph-

Tom Churulo holds his 4-year-old daughter, Katie, during the Yellow Brick Road benefit held April 5 at Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill in Bolingbrook. anie Churulo said. “The doctors were amazed how strong she was and how quickly she recovered.” “We thought we wouldn’t have to worry about surgeries for at least five years and it seemed like Katie finally caught a break,” Tom Churulo added. But in March 2012, just 10

months after her second surgery, Katie began running random, recurring fevers. After several more visits to the hospital and extensive blood work, doctors hypothesized multiple diseases but could not sufficiently diagnose the child.

A smile from ear to ear, she giggled constantly, whispering secrets into the ear of her older brother, Lucas, before skipping down the stairs with her sister, Abby.

Argonne receives state funding for Energy Innovation Center

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT – The village of Lemont lost out to Aurora in an online voting competition Tuesday morning during “The Eric & Kathy Show” on 101.9FM for the duo’s Suburban Madness Battle of the Burbs bracket contest. With the win, Aurora took home the title of 2013 Champion. The winning town will not receive a formal prize

but will have bragging rights on The MIX morning radio show. Members of the show will also visit the winning suburb. Suburban Madness is an annual March tradition for the show, and competition began last week. On April 4, Lombard won in a match-up against Brookfield and on April 5 came out on top over Glendale Heights, while Lemont beat Naperville and then Long Grove.

Director Eric D. Isaacs said. Innovations from JCSER research could create thousands of jobs, both in Illinois and nationally, in the

quick-growing advanced-battery sector, which is projected to expand from $10 billion to $50 billion internationally in the coming years.

• CHURULOS Continued from page 7 Early last fall, the Churulos received a diagnosis: hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. An extremely rare immune system disorder involving over-production and activation of normal infection-fighting cells, HLH is unrelated to Katie’s heart problems. Rather, doctors determined it is a partial genetic defect that might require a bone marrow transplant. Meanwhile, Tom and Stephanie Churulo are trying to balance their daughter’s steroid dosage and figure out the next steps. “Difficult is an enormous understatement,” Stephanie said, referring to the steroids that suppress her immune system but yield multiple un-

wanted side effects. “We want to ween her off the Prednisone. Obviously, this is not a long-term solution.” The Churulos said that Katie’s steroid dosage has resulted in weight gain, physical discomfort and what their son Lucas refers to as “roid rage.” The family is also trying to pay for the mounting hospital visits and intermittent trips to Ohio to see an HLH specialist. But in spite of the tumultuous last four years, they remain positive, thankful for family, friends and the many neighbors who have stepped up in their time of need. “This would have been impossible without the support from Bolingbrook, Lemont and our friends and family,” Tom Churulo said. “We feel blessed to have such amazing people in our lives.”

Voters must have voice in forest preserve issue To the Editor: Elected officials have an obligation to lead by example and do their part to fix out-of-control, unnecessary government spending. That’s what we were elected to do. The Illinois House took a step toward reigning in state spending by adopting a spending cap for this year’s budget that will force state government to live within its means. I joined many of my colleagues in sponsoring legislation to cut lawmaker pay and reduce or eliminate compensation for state board and commission members. These are all encouraging steps toward achieving fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget. But there is more work for us to do in order to achieve true fiscal responsibility for the taxpayers. I introduced House Bill 2377 to give voters the opportunity to eliminate the compensation of DuPage County’s six forest preserve commissioners and chairman. DuPage County Forest Preserve commissioners’ pay, pension, and dental and medical benefits are drastically out of line with our neighboring counties. DuPage County’s generous packages are worth up to $149,577 annually in exchange

for attending a weekly meeting, while other counties pay their commissioners a small stipend capped at $3,000 without benefits. If this bill passes, the power to cut politician pay would be placed directly in the hands of the voters. In these trying economic times, we cannot continue to ask hardworking families in DuPage County to fund extravagant compensation packages for elected officials responsible for attending one meeting a week. Instead, we should respect the public trust, invest our precious dollars into the forest preserve’s services for our families and stop forcing taxpayers to pay for disproportionate high politician pay.

• DAD Continued from page 12 ‘Oh gosh, it’s him.’” “I’m so excited I’m back,” said Fuentes, whose family has lived in Bolingbrook for seven years. “We’re going to make up for lost time. We’re going to do anything and everything. I can’t wait to get started with my life again.” Jackie, who says music is her favorite class at Pioneer, had a difficult time deciding whether to stick around and sing in one more number featuring all 17 elementary and middle school choral groups at the end of the show. “I don’t care as long as he’s with me,” she said before finally choosing to head home to spend some quality time with her dad. When Pioneer Principal Carmen Killingsworth asked Jackie if she would be in school the morning of April 4, the fifth-grader was unsure. Killingsworth invited her to bring her dad to school to meet her classmates.

Restaurant reviews

Hawthorne’s Backyard proves cozy dining retreat With a little imagination, you might think you’ve wandered off a Montana turnpike and landed in a rustic, rural roadhouse at Hawthorne’s Backyard in West Chicago. The post-and-beam construction in the dining room set on four acres of wooded grounds help fuel the illusion. And the restaurant and bar definitely cater to logger-size appetites with generous portions of homemade fare. Among the standouts is Momma’s Pot Roast sandwich, which we tried in its appetizer incarnation, happily learning we were in for the Tuesday half-price deal on starters. Served as four sliders on soft buns, they were big on well-seasoned, slow-cooked flavor. “Frazzled Onions” topped the sliders and my dining companion’s pulled-pork sandwich. Fine ribbons of crispy, battered onions lend a tangy touch as garnish and are a lighter, tasty alternative to onion rings. We shared a cup of the grill’s signature tomato-artichoke soup, prepared with big

chunks of artichoke in a mildly piquant, light broth. The pulled-pork sandwich serves as a taste test for the fullfledged pig roasts Hawthorne’s holds, including catering private events. “Very tasty,” was the twoword review as my companion gave full attention to the sandwich in hand, served with creamy cole slaw that has a gentle kick. It’s one of a choice of sides. The adjoining bar offers seven beers on tap, including Guinness, and an ample list of standard domestic and imported beers. Hawthorne’s also delivers its own twist on cocktails, including a Jack Honey Breakfast Shot whose ingredients include bacon. There’s no wine list. Our server recommended the wings and the barbecue ribs, and I couldn’t resist the latter. Incredibly flavorful, the baby back ribs didn’t require a slathering of the extra house barbecue sauce provided, but spoke volumes about taste all by themselves.

A half order of ribs at Hawthorne’s Backyard in West Chicago comes sions tuned silently to sports. with choice of two sides and soup or salad. When warm weather Entrees at Hawthorne’s Backyard range from $10.99 to $19.99, with Saturday nights featuring a crab leg and prime rib buffet for $25.99, beginning at 5 p.m. Bands play most Saturdays on the stage in the dining room, where a few tables are moved aside to accommodate dancing. The music usually ranges between rock and country, explained

the server, noting it kicks off after 9 p.m. For seafood fans, he recommends the barbecue grilled salmon entree and a blackened grouper sandwich. A holdover from the previous restaurant at the site is the “King James” fish fry Friday nights. The casual, family-friendly dining room offers tables and booths, and has several televi-

Suburban fashionistas Lisa and Kaitlyn Fergus find style fix By ALLISON HORNE msleditorial@shawmedia.com Many women would admit they’re guilty of a slight shopping addiction, whether it’s clothes, jewelry, shoes or accessories. And that’s where Because I Shop Too Much comes in. Co-creators Kaitlyn Fergus of Downers Grove and sister-in-law Lisa Fergus of Westchester recognized the problem in their own lives. As their solution to buying new clothes all the time, they began swapping and repurposing their apparel with one other. That spawned the idea for the duo’s website, Because I Shop Too Much, which launched last year. It was an idea that made sense - Kaitlyn combined her marketing experience with Lisa’s fashion (and motherhood) blogging passion, and the budding social media

More info What: Sisters-in-law develop online shopping forum where guests trade, buy or sell clothes straight out of their closet More info: bistm.com, or Lisa’s sister site at www.stilettosand diaperbags.com; both contribute to sistersmarie.blogspot.com Submitted photo

Sisters-in-law Lisa (left) and Kaitlyn Fergus invented the Because I Shop Too Much website. shopping site emerged. Users on the site have their own “closets,” where they can sell items and search through other users’ interactive closets to find styles and clothes they like. The site uses social media to stay connected and find “friends” whose styles they would wear. BISTM is set up so

users can keep in touch with people who share the same size and fashion sense. Selling, buying and trading are all possible on the site - sometimes with people hundreds of miles away. More than 500 women and six men are registered on the site, with 4,000 items to choose from. The duo also is branching out with Because They Grow Too Fast, a similar site that just launched - dedicated to

children’s clothing. Both also blog about style as the Sisters Marie (aptly titled after both their middle names).

swap and trade clothes just as I was doing from my blog. It’s just one big database.

How did the BISTM website get started? Kaitlyn: Well, we first started

What makes this site different than other shopping sites like eBay or Amazon? L: For me, I like the site

having the conversation because we always wanted new clothes for an event we were going to. We would swap clothes, so we could get something new without spending a ton of money every time. It’s one huge closet for everyone online. Lisa: I started a blog called ‘Stilettos & Diaper Bags’ about three years ago. About a year ago, I started getting questions like, ‘Can I buy from you?’ ‘Where can I get that?’ And I started selling my clothes right off my blog. I started asking around and engaging friends to see if there was a market for it. I figured we could buy, sell,

better for two reasons - the percentage of money that you’re actually getting as a seller, and because there’s a social media networking aspect. Instead of buying from someone you’re never going to see again, you can say, ‘Thanks for shopping in my closet,’ and they can let me know if they want anything else. It’s a lot more personable. K: I think a lot of young women our age like the idea that they can come to this … fashion marketplace. Girls who love style feel like it’s a niche - they can go here, and it’s different than sites that sell everything.

Lemont outfielder James Lulek fires to the infield Saturday at Wheaton North.

MIDLOTHIAN — One day after knocking out 18 hits, Lemont’s baseball team rode the right arm of Jake Terrazas to a series sweep of Bremen Tuesday.

Cody Caballero continued his dominance on the mound, improving to 3-0 on the spring after allowing just three hits in a complete-game effort. Mike Papierski, Jake Latz and Terrazas all went 3-for-3 at the plate. “Cody also threw very well,” the coach said, “and we hit the ball so that made his life a little easier. He is more of a control pitcher so as far as being so dominant, I think he has even surprised himself. But I couldn’t be happier with how he is pitching.” The Indians were coming off a 12-9 loss to Wheaton North Saturday in a non-conference affair. The two-time defending DuPage Valley Conference champions are 10-1 on the season after two victories over Naperville North this week. Bill Hayes was 2-for-4 with a homer while Tokarski went 2-for-4 with two RBIs. “We hit the ball well,” Storako said. “It came down to, they brought a guy in at the end of the game who was a really good pitcher and we struggled. We played with them and hung in there, just couldn’t get the big hit at the end.” Lemont was 5-3 through eight games and a perfect 4-0 in South Suburban Blue conference action. “Offensively, we are scoring something like eight runs a game,” Storako said. “That’s crazy. And our pitching is starting to round out. We are getting guys more work so they are starting to find their location. “We started off the conference with TF South and Bremen and they are both decent programs with some good players. They are no pushovers, that’s for sure. We are playing pretty well.” The Indians were scheduled to face Shepard on Thursday before traveling to play Lincoln-Way North on Saturday. Lemont opens a two-game series with Tinley Park Tuesday.

Red-hot Lemont softball wins 10 of first 12 games By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT — A slow start to the 2013 season wasn’t out of the question for the Lemont softball team which features just a few seniors on the roster. But the Indians apparently had other ideas and after Tuesday’s victory over Hillcrest, the squad had won 10 of their first 12 games. “Right now things are going well,” said Lemont coach Chris Traina. “But we still have things to work on defi-

Game box Lemont 10 Hillcrest 0 Winning pitcher: Lauren Young CG, 11 K, 2 hits Top hitters: Anna Smagacz 3-for-3, 5 RBIs; Allie White 2-for-3; Jordan Fiedler 3 runs, 2 RBIs, Young 2-for3, 2B, 3 runs, 2 RBIs

nitely, still some fine-tuning to do. It’s a long way off to the end of the season.”

Lauren Young did most of the heavy lifting against Hillcrest, striking out 11 batters in the five-inning win. She allowed only two hits as Lemont improved to 8-1 in the South Suburban Blue Conference. Pitching was also the major theme a day earlier when Carly Jaworski allowed just one hit while striking out 13 in a 2-0 win over Reavis. The senior also went 2-for-3 at the plate while Alyssa Molaro was 1-for-3 with an RBI. “It actually kind of came out of the blue,” Jaworski

said of her pitching performance. “The game before that (against Hinsdale South on Saturday), I was off. Not to make excuses but the wind was really bad and the way my screwball breaks, that is how the wind was blowing. I hit multiple kids. “So that (Hillcrest game) was definitely a positive note.” Lemont split the non-conference doubleheader with Hinsdale South on Saturday, losing the opener 7-4 before bouncing back to win 15-2 in

Game 2. Rylie Jay was 5-for-7 in the doubleheader with two home runs and seven RBIs. “Rylie has been seeing the ball really well and she is hitting the ball well,” Traina said. The Indians were scheduled to play Tinley Park Thursday before heading to Lincoln-Way North Saturday. “We are very young but we have a good team,” Jaworski said. “It’s a good start for us and I think we have a lot of potential. But we are just taking it day by day.”

proving, competing and winning against some solid teams,” said Lemont coach Jon DeGuzman. “Our top players have shown their confidence on the court and are learning from both wins and losses to some great players.” Sophomore Nick Urban is back after qualifying for state as a freshman and is currently 7-1 at No. 1 singles. Fellow sophomore Nathaniel Burner has a matching

7-1 mark at No. 2 singles. Alex Vasic was a state qualifier in 2012 as part of a doubles team with Jonathan Pacheco and is now teaming with senior Jake Smagacz in the No. 1 spot. That duo is 5-0 on the young season. “We look forward to the schedule ahead of us against the other teams of our conference,” the coach said, “and we hope to have a great showing at our two

tournaments — the Joliet Invitational where we will see many of our opponents at the sectional tournament and also the 24-team tournament hosted by Lincoln-Way East. “Playing against these schools and seeing some of these outstanding players will give our team the competition they need to improve their game as the regular season continues on.”

Lemont Coach: Jon DeGuzman Top players: Nick Urban so. singles Nathaniel Burner so. singles Jake Smagacz sr. doubles Alex Vasic sr. doubles What to watch: The Lemont boys tennis program has enjoyed a successful run in recent years, and early indications

show that this spring won’t be any different. After placing second at the Joliet West sectional a year ago, the Indians are off to a strong start this season, having compiled a dual meet record of 7-2 which includes South Suburban Conference wins over Bremen and TF South. “With some great matches over the last few weeks, I am happy to see the team im-

League-leading Indians still expect more By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT — The wins have been piling up for Lemont’s girls soccer team, but head coach Rick Prangen still feels his squad has ample room for improvement. “We’ve been inconsistent,” Prangen said. “We’ve had some good days and some bad days. But it is still early in the season with a young team. There is room for progression and the positive is we are getting victories when not playing our best.” On Tuesday, the Indians improved to 4-0 in the South Suburban Blue conference and 5-1-1 overall with an 8-0 victory over Oak Lawn. Eight different players

Big number 4: Consecutive games in which Lemont had not allowed a goal heading into Thursday’s non-conference matchup with Downers Grove South

scored for Lemont while goalkeeper Kelly Fritz recorded her sixth shutout of the spring. The squad was coming off a 1-0 win over Downers Grove North Saturday. Wendy Mazur scored the game’s only goal, and Fritz totaled eight saves in goal. On April 4, Lemont beat Shepard 3-0 behind goals from Kim Jerantowski, Lauren Lumsden and Reilley Sullivan. Fritz posted seven saves in the shutout.

“Our best game of the year I thought was our loss to Sandburg (a 3-2 loss March 30),” the coach said. “Even though we lost, I thought we played a great game. We did more right in that game than any other game this year.” Lemont, which was scheduled to play Downers Grove South on Thursday, returns to the field Tuesday for a matchup with Evergreen Park. A contest against Reavis follows on Thursday. “Evergreen Park is at the top of the other side of the conference,” Prangen said. “And the trap is, when you have been that dominant (in the conference), to come out soft and flat and have the other team hand it to you because they are up to play you.”

Cunningham leaps to high jump title SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT — High jump champion Rory Cunningham highlighted the Lemont boys track team’s fifth-place finish at Saturday’s Phil Svetich Argo Invitational. Cunningham tied for first place after clearing 5 feet, 10 inches. The Indians scored 52 points as a team, finishing 10 behind fourth-place Argo. Justin Stanwyck was second in the pole vault with a mark of 13-0, and Paul Rachwalski was third (12-0). Nathan Palermo and Matt McFraland finished fourth and sixth, respectively, in the shot put, Sebastian Bialas placed fifth in the long jump and Alex Micco was sixth in the triple jump. McFarland also took seventh in the discus. Also competing in the field

events were Mike Petruzzi (ninth in the high jump), Matt Dunne (10th in the long jump) and Edward Kostrubala (11th in the discus). In the running events, Scott Matulik placed third in the 1,600-meter run in a time of 4:58.80 and Scott Franklin was fifth (4:59.36). Matt Gagen and Luke Heatherington finished fifth and sixth in the 3,200, Joe Sciacca placed fifth in the 300 hurdles, Justin Stanwyck was seventh in the 800 with Evan Ganzer in eighth. Additional performances were put forth by Jaron Fay (seventh in the 110 hurdles and 10th in the 300 hurdles), Matt Dunne (eighth in the 100) and Eric Whatley (ninth in the 400). The 4 x 200 and 4 x 800 relays placed fourth, the 4 x 400 relay finished sixth and the 4 x 100 relay was seventh.
