Tyler Leahy has at least one thing in common with movie star Hugh Jackman. The two actors will play the lead role in upcoming productions of “Les Miserables” — Jackman in Hollywood and Leahy at Hinsdale Central. Leahy and Jackman will portray Jean Valjean, the condemned prisoner seeking his freedom in the musical version of Victor Hugo’s book. With that in mind, … ]]> Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:25:05 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/10944949-393/boys-gymnastics-tyler-leahy-plays-important-role-for-hinsdale-central.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/10944949-393/boys-gymnastics-tyler-leahy-plays-important-role-for-hinsdale-central.html

Lyons senior Elly Vitek didn’t intend to break any records at the Downers Grove South Sectional Saturday. It just happened. Lyons’ top swimmer advanced to next weekend’s state meet for the third consecutive time and set a pool record along the way in the 200-yard freestyle when her winning time of 1 minute, 52.96 seconds eclipsed the mark of 1:53.21 established by … ]]> Sat, 10 Nov 2012 20:58:28 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/16307306-393/girls-swimming-lyons-senior-elly-vitek-breaks-pool-record-advances-to-state-in-four-events.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/16307306-393/girls-swimming-lyons-senior-elly-vitek-breaks-pool-record-advances-to-state-in-four-events.html
Going into Saturday, Jill Hardies knew that no Hinsdale Central girls runner has ever medaled four times at the state cross country meet. “I knew that, but it was not a big goal of mine,” Hardies said. “If I had any kind of a decent race, I was hoping that would come.” But previous runners for the Devils have never been able … ]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:53:59 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/16178056-393/girls-cross-country-hinsdale-centrals-jill-hardies-earns-school-record-fourth-medal-at-state.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/16178056-393/girls-cross-country-hinsdale-centrals-jill-hardies-earns-school-record-fourth-medal-at-state.html Oak Park-River Forest senior Samantha Halpern saved her best for last. Halpern swam a personal-best 1:12.08 Saturday to finish third in the 100-yard breaststroke at the West Suburban Silver meet at Hinsdale Central. Halpern also swam some of her best times in her portions of the 200 medley relay, 200 free relay and finished 10th in the 100 butterfly. But Halpern competed … ]]> Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:51:12 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/16040169-393/girls-swimming-new-champ-lyons-snaps-hinsdale-centrals-dominant-run.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/16040169-393/girls-swimming-new-champ-lyons-snaps-hinsdale-centrals-dominant-run.html Maddie Lipp elected to play through a trio of lingering injuries for the final three weeks of her senior season both in the pursuit of a state doubles title and to try to lead Lake Forest to a state championship.

Marika Cusick and Caroline Lorenzini know they have a chance to make state history this weekend. They just don’t think about it as often as everyone else does. The Hinsdale Central doubles team will attempt to become the first in IHSA history to win three consecutive girls state championships. The feat has been accomplished twice in boys tennis.

For the majority of the season, the consensus around the state was that the Class 3A St. Charles East Sectional at St. Andrews was the most difficult boys golf sectional around. After the first day of the Class 3A state meet at the Den in Bloomington, that fact couldn’t have been clearer. The top three teams from that sectional, Hinsdale Central, Naperville … ]]> Sat, 13 Oct 2012 19:19:16 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/15736575-393/boys-golf-day-2-cancelled-jack-junge-ian-kelsey-share-medal.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/15736575-393/boys-golf-day-2-cancelled-jack-junge-ian-kelsey-share-medal.html

Caroline Lorenzini has always wanted to play tennis in college. It wasn’t until a conversation with her father, Ron, before she considered going to a service academy.

Rosanna Lederhausen is quick to point out that she does more than golf. Lederhausen might be the best golfer in West Suburban Conference history after becoming the first to win conference girls titles in all four years Sept. 26 at Village Greens of Woodridge.

She is also an accomplished musician, who plays … ]]> Tue, 02 Oct 2012 18:50:47 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/15525327-393/girls-golf-rosanna-lederhausen-no-one-dimensional-golfer.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/hinsdalecentral/other_sports/15525327-393/girls-golf-rosanna-lederhausen-no-one-dimensional-golfer.html
