Winning any tournament first-place medal is pretty cool. Beating Homewood-Flossmoor to do it?

PEORIA – Amanda Fox learned her lesson well enough that she aced her biggest test of the season. The Naperville Central senior lost just one race all fall, finishing behind Lake Park’s Kaylee Flanagan at Wheaton North. Fox made sure on Saturday that neither Flanagan, defending Class 3A champ Ariel Michalek of Oswego East nor anyone else would catch her. Fox set … ]]> Sat, 05 Nov 2011 20:34:44 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/oswegoeast/other_sports/8642222-393/girls-cross-country-naperville-centrals-amanda-fox-takes-state.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/oswegoeast/other_sports/8642222-393/girls-cross-country-naperville-centrals-amanda-fox-takes-state.html
The wind made it a chilly day for the West Aurora Girls Tennis Sectional on Saturday, yet the Batavia Bulldogs didn’t seem to notice — they were only interested in holding the plaque representing their first ever sectional championship.

PEORIA - Earlier in the season, Oswego East runner Ariel Michalek prognosticated that if she ran the way she knew she could, she would be in the mix for a state medal. The junior lived up to her forecast and then some, as she won the Class 3A state title Saturday during the IHSA girls cross country finals at Detweiller Park.
