2024 Fall Season Wraps Up

The 2024 Fall Season came to an end with The IHSA Swimming and Diving State Finals this weekend in Westmont, IL. Congrats to our state qualifiers: Sophomore - Brooke Eliacin and Junior - Emily Fraser.  Brooke advanced to Saturday’s medal round in both the 50 yard Free and 100 yard Breaststroke. She finished in 13th place in the 50 Free and 15th place in the Breaststroke. Congratulations to all the athletes and coaches in the Girls Swim & Dive Program.

Congratulations to Girls Tennis and Boys Cross Country who brought home CSL North Conference Championships at the Varsity level this Fall. It was also great to see many of our lower level teams perform well during the Fall season. While not every program brought home trophies or set school records, everyone helped make memories over the past few months. Our building and grounds department and security staff deserve a shoutout as well. We hosted almost 150 contests this Fall and the support of these individuals was instrumental in helping things run as smoothly as possible.
