A most unusual high school winter sports season has concluded, only about a month after the first competitions were held for some programs. Despite the abbreviated schedule - with no postseason - and the COVID-19 protocols mandating masks and barring fans, coaches and senior players say they were happy to have a season at all (see season-ending results on Page 46). Boys basketball senior member Charlie Herbst said adapting to wearing a mask during play was a challenge. And so...

Name: Olivia Widtfeldt Year: senior Hometown: Clarendon Hills When did you first start gymnastics? I think I probably started doing the little mom and tot classes around 2 or 3.

Name: Angelia Berti Year: senior Hometown: Hinsdale What was the feeling last year when the season was canceled? I was extremely disappointed because I only play one sport, and when you train for something all year and then for it to get canceled, it just feels like you wasted a lot of time. Does this season have more significance? In a way because it's my last year, and I think I have to do my best. My goal is to win a state medal with my doubles partner Lily (McCain). What g...
Last year was a year like no other - especially for the docs who take care of Chicago's professional athletes. "It was kind of eerie - kind of like watching a men's softball league game," Dr. Chuck Bush-Joseph of Hinsdale, a surgeon at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush and one of the team doctors for the Chicago White Sox, said of the team's games in empty stadiums. This March looks much different. Spring training is in full swing, and the Sox home opener is set for April 8. But...

Name: Erkan Ozgen Year: senior Hometown: Burr Ridge When did you first start swimming competitively? I was about 5 or 6 years old when I first competed. My mom used to (swim) in high school, so she had my brother start. After watching him, I wanted to start doing it. What do you enjoy most about the sport? Just all the relationships I've made throughout the years I've been swimming. All of those guys are some of my closest friends. Did COVID-19 make it tough to stay in shape i...

With years of playing sports under her belt and a degree in communications, a young Katie Maley planned to go into sports broadcasting. As a senior at DePauw University, she secured an internship at Comcast Sports Net. She loved meeting the athletes and logging play-by-plays.

Name: Maria Rivera Year: senior Hometown: Clarendon Hills How did you react to learning there'd be a girls basketball season? We really had not hoped as a team that there would be a season. It was literally like we learned it was happening and we had practice the next day. We were all super-happy, and being a senior, I knew this is my last time to shine and to play a sport in high school. What's your earliest memory? I've played basketball since I was able to walk. I played in...

Name: Lainey Harvey Year: senior Hometown: Willowbrook When did you first start bowling? Freshman year. My friend at the time, she was going to try out and then she encouraged me to try out. At the time, I really knew nothing about bowling. At the first tryout, I did surprisingly well. What do you enjoy most about the sport? It's just a fun activity that you can kind of pick if it's competitive or not. How has COVID-19 affected competitions? It used to be three girls on one...
