Friday Focus - Freshman PE Triathlon
This past Friday, all of our freshman PE classes participated in the 2nd annual Frosh Triathlon. A big thanks to all our freshmen PE teachers and especially teacher Erin O’Donnell for organizing this great event. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate as well as hoped for, our students were all able to experience a real life application of living out a healthy, fitness-filled lifestyle!

Tom Cleary helps Buffalo Grove boys track keep its pace
Chicago Tribune, May 23, 2016
Running in the shadow of a more well-known teammate is not exactly what most athletes aspire to, especially given their competitive nature. Tom Cleary has used his teammate's notoriety — and his own relative obscurity — as motivation. The Buffalo Grove senior distance runner has been eclipsed by the brilliance of Kevin Salvano, the Notre Dame-bound runner who captured the Class 3A state cross-country championship last fall. "Because of Kevin, Tom has always been known as the other guy," Buffalo Grove track coach Tim Podulka said. "He has been a tireless and selfless worker who has contributed greatly to the cross-country and track success." Read Story
