In the third set of a tennis match at University of Chicago two years ago, Kenyon College's Erika Oku started to cramp up, a familiar nemesis during grueling contests. "I told my coach I needed to retire," Hinsdale's Oku recounted. But her coach exhorted her to keep fighting. And her resilient spirit responded. "Something kicked in and I got back up and was able to finish the match and beat her in three sets," she said. "The fact that I was able to fight through the pain, I...

Three years ago, members of the Wizard Football Club girls soccer team were in the finals of a tough North Shore tournament. At halftime, the score was 3-0. Coach Dean Harding gave the girls a pep talk, encouraging them to have fun, and sent them back out on the field. They scored three goals and won the game in a shoot-out. "That's when I knew, at that point, that I was head coach of something really special," Harding said. Now the 14 members of the U11 Diamonds team are...

Name: Franny Schiavitti Year: graduated senior Hometown: Hinsdale How difficult was the cancellation of last year's soccer season? It was pretty tough without anything, but I was lucky I still had my club season. It definitely felt like I missed out. Has it given this season greater significance? It made it a lot more special and I kind of allowed us to appreciate the season more and work even harder. We got close pretty quickly as a team, and I would say our team has a...
Hinsdale's Olivia Giunta figured her dreams of qualifying for USA Gymnastics Level 10 Women's Development Program National Championships had slipped away as her hands slipped from the uneven bars at the regional meet in Cincinnati last month.

Name: Mary Grant Year: senior Hometown: Clarendon Hills When did you first start playing softball? First grade. My sister played and my dad coached, so I grew up watching it. What do you enjoy most about the sport? I just like being part of a team. It's really team-driven, and I like the game. I've always liked watching baseball and softball. Something has always drawn me to it, I guess. Is it strange playing after graduation? It's been kind of weird because normally we're...
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. He penned a poignant blog on March 14, reminding the student-athletes that baseball great Joe DiMaggio's career was interrupted for three seasons after he enlisted in the U.S. military following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. 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. "I knew if I played a solid back nine I could win it," McClear said. "I told myself, 'Stay in your own mind and focus...

The teams' coaches offer a look at the athlete...
