"If I fell or had a major wobble on...

By Pamela Lannom [email protected] When COVID-19 interrupted the boys 2020 track season at Hinsdale Central High School, assistant coach Noah Lawrence tried to put things in perspective for team members.

Lawrence also wanted to remind the teens why...

Name: Isa Hitchens Year: senior Hometown: Hinsdale What's it's like competing in your final track season? It's pretty crazy to think about. It seems like yesterday was my first track practice. What events do you compete in? I run the 400, 200 and 100 meters. This season I'm really focused on the 4x400-meter relay and the 400-meter solo, because I think that's what I have the most potential in and I have the most fun in. What's your goal for the season? To win a state title in...
Shooting 1 over par on the front nine was not exactly the way University of Iowa sophomore golfer Mac McClear fantasized his final round unfolding at the Big Ten Championships May 2. The Hinsdale product reluctantly checked the leaderboard at the turn of Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Ind. To McClear's relief he was still on top, albeit by just a stroke.
