Chinmay Amin Year: senior Hometown: Westmont What do you remember about your first cross country running experience? I started running when I was in sixth grade. I played tennis, too, but I found that I was enjoying running a lot more that tennis. Once I got to high school I was fully committed to it year-round. What makes it so enjoyable? There's just something about running a lot of miles with a group of guys. You develop a bond that you don't get in other sports. It's reall...
LOMBARD SHUTS OUT 11U GOLD The Hinsdale Falcons 11U Gold lost a tough game against the Lombard Falcons Sunday by a final score of 12-0.

What is your greatest strength? I approach the game of golf as an athlete having played different sports growing up other than golf...
