143Advocate Good ShepherdHospital construction on schedule
By TARAH [email protected]
BARRINGTON – AdvocateGood Shepherd Hospital sup-porters and staff are quick tocelebrate any constructionmilestone in their $247 millionmodernization project.
A ceremony on Aug. 26marked the signing and rais-ing of the final steel beam forthe exterior portion of theproject. The beam was placedon the top corner of a newlyerected 208,000-square-footbuilding on the north end ofthe hospital.
Hospital president KarenLambert said the north build-ing has been “a dream and vi-sion” for about seven years.
“We’ve always been focusedon ‘what we need,’” Lambertsaid. “What we need is privaterooms.”
Once all exterior and inte-rior construction is completein 2017, every patient will haveprivacy. The hospital will in-crease its bed count from 169to 176.
Interior construction be-gan in October. A new chapel,administrative departmentand temporary west entryare now complete. This fall,the hospital will have a ren-ovated testing center and anexpanded gastrointestinalsuite.
Larry Arndt, general man-ager of health care for theproject’s contractor, Morten-son Construction, said exte-rior work is on schedule forcompletion.
“We started building thefoundation for the northbuilding in April and theweather has been great thissummer,” Arndt said. “We’veeven been able to pour con-crete through recent rain.”
Arndt said the north build-
ing will be ready to house pa-tients in January 2016 whena new two-story glass atriumentry will be complete on thehospital’s south side.
Earlier this summer, ele-vator shafts went up on thenorth building. The finalbeam was signed Aug. 26by the hospital’s governingcouncil, engineers, planners,construction workers, physi-cians and volunteers beforeits lift.
Project director AllisonWyler said this was the hos-pital’s first beam signing. Agroundbreaking ceremonywas held about a year ago.
“You’ve got to celebrate themajor milestones with a proj-ect of this size,” Wyler said.
Wyler said the main goal isto “co-locate” services, mak-
ing hospital visits convenientfor both in- and outpatients.
The hospital has about1,300 employees – a numberLambert said she doesn’t ex-pect to change.
“I don’t foresee additionalhires,” Lambert said. “We arealready at high patient occu-pancy now and will have moreflexibility with all-privaterooms. We won’t have to closeoff half a room when patientsrequire isolation and wastethat space.”
Lambert said the hospi-tal updates will allow staff tobring tests and procedures topatients’ bedsides, in additionto guests being able to stayovernight with family mem-bers.
Also being modernized arethe hospital’s radiology, am-
bulatory care, cardiovascularand pulmonary centers, labs,operating rooms, visitors’areas, lobby and conferencecenters.
Arndt said the update is a“fun, challenging project” forMortenson’s 200-person crew.
Construction has beennight and day, Arndt said,adding that noise is moni-tored to ensure patients aren’twoken in their sleep.
When asked about new bed-side and operating room tech-nology, Arndt estimated theconstruction cost is just a frac-tion of the multimillion-dollarmodernization plan with tech-nology upgrades as the bulk ofthe expense.
“Almost every update in-cludes technology,” Arndtsaid. “Every patient’s room
will be called a ‘smart room,’where medical records arereadily available on electron-ic viewing screens.”
Advocate Health Care iscovering the bulk of projectcosts. The hospital’s projectsteering committee has set agoal to raise $25 million of the$247 million for moderniza-tion. Lambert said more than$20 million has been raised sofar, with a fund-raising cam-paign that’s still active.
The hospital’s annual gala,scheduled for Sept. 13, will ad-ditionally benefit the project,Lambert said, adding that theproject is about more than con-struction beams.
“It’s about the peopleand the care,” Lambert said.“That’s what enables us to de-liver world-class results.”

Animal foundation founder of Barrington to open new location
By JOSEPH [email protected]
ALGONQUIN – An animaladoption and animal-assistedtherapy center is proposed fora site on Main Street in Algon-quin.
The Creme de la CremeAnimal Foundation wouldoperate in an existing vacant1,150-square-foot building at1325 S. Main St. The buildingwas constructed as a house buthas been used as a home and a
business, according to villagedocuments.
Creme de la Creme founderLisa Petrongelli, who lives inBarrington, said she expects tobe able to open the location inabout two months.
“This is something we’vebeen hoping for a long time,”Petrongelli said.
Petrongelli is a nurse prac-titioner as well as a clinicalpsychologist and had her dis-sertation in animal-assistedtherapy, she said.
The foundation, whichneeds a special use permit fromthe village to operate, receivedpositive feedback from villageboard members who are sched-
uled to vote on the matter attheir Tuesday meeting.
“I think this is a great busi-ness,” Trustee Brian Dianissaid. “I hope it does very well.”
Creme de la Creme oper-ates out of two locations, onein Barrington Hills and one inan unincorporated area nearAlgonquin. It has grown to apoint where it makes senseto have an adoption center,according to a village memowritten by senior planner Ka-tie Parkhurst.
Now, the foundation usesfoster homes to house pets.The building would be used toshow pets that are availablefor adoption to potential own-
ers and to conduct animal-as-sisted therapy. It would serveas a neutral meeting place ifsomeone came to look to adopt.
Dogs on site would only beat the site for a few hours at atime, Parkhurst said.
“Barking dogs should notbe an issue,” Parkhurst said.
Only cats and birds wouldbe housed at the proposedMain Street location. Therewill probably be 20 cats housedthere, Petrongelli said.
The foundation would haveone full-time employee, threepart-time employees and 12 to15 volunteers at the location,according to village documents.
Creme de la Creme is com-
pleting a building renovation,which includes fixing leaks,replacing a fence, putting innew flooring, fixing a deckrailing and floor boards, andadding a ramp. The organiza-tion already replaced the roof.Creme de la Creme has spentabout $10,000 on materials,Petrongelli said.
Much of the work is beingdone by Creme de la Crememembers.
“It’s a real ideal space be-cause it’s off Route 31, so itshould get some good drive-by traffic so people will knowwe’re there,” said Kathy Wi-esner, a volunteer with Cremede la Creme.

New class hits Barrington High SchoolBy STEPHANIE KOHLBarrington Suburban Life
Contributor
BARRINGTON – A newclass at Barrington HighSchool will have its studentsdeveloping their very ownmobile apps by the end of theschool year.
The new mobile applica-tion development course ismodeled off an intense eight-week iOS Bootcamp known asThe Mobile Makers Academy,which started in May. TomBredemeier, a computer sci-ence teacher, and Brian Math-ian, a graphic design teacher,attended.
“The boot camp was beingtaught by real developers withreal customers,” Bredemeiersaid.
During the first four weeksof boot camp, participantslearned how to use the soft-
ware and code. For the rest ofthe time, they developed a mo-bile app.
“I love to code, and so everyday I got to go downtown andjust do coding all day long,”Bredemeier said.
Mathian, however, had noprevious coding experience butwanted to try something new.
“We built two basic apps onthe first day,” Mathian said.
While the majority of build-ing an app is coding, he said,there also is a visual appeal tomobile apps that appeals to thegraphic designer in him.
Barrington High School of-fers three sections of the classthis year, with more than 70students enrolled. Classes,which have no prerequisites,are open to sophomores, ju-niors and seniors.
Bredemeier said he hopesto get some of the apps into theApp Store.
Bredemeier and Mathianagreed the class appeals to awide range of students, includ-ing experienced coders, inex-perienced coders, boys andgirls, computer science stu-dents and students interested
in any program.“I’m astounded with the
students that are in there,”Bredemeier said. “When theyshow up in class, they are ex-cited to be coding.”
Bredemeier said he wouldconsider the class to be collegelevel. Since the class is proj-ect-based, grading will be donebased on the students’ masteryof the subject. Mathian addedthe course is set up to differ-entiate for all skill levels, sowhile there is always basiccriteria to meet, the course of-fers additional “stretches” forthose with more coding skills.
“You can meet your ownexpectations,” Mathian said.“Kids will be able to make amobile app (at the end of thisclass).”
Bredemeier added thatcompletion of this course issomething students can puton their resumes. The pro-
gram also teaches Swift – thenewest coding language – justlaunched in June.
Enrollment in computerscience has steadily increasedat Barrington High School.About 300 students, or 10 per-cent of the high school popula-tion, are enrolled in computerscience courses.
Bredemeier said enroll-ment has doubled each yearfor the past five years, andwhile the split isn’t yet 50-50boys and girls, enrollment ofgirls has quadrupled, jumpingfrom 20 to 80. Part of that, hesaid, is that computer scienceoffers a fast-growing job mar-ket with a huge demand formobile app developers.
“I think one of the bigthings (this new course) adds,is it really opens up opportu-nities,” said Julie Baylor, de-partment head for science andengineering.
“I’m astounded with the students that are in there.
When they show up in class, they are excited to
be coding.”

Many towns are seeingplenty of foreclosures or shortsales, especially in low-incomeareas.
That seems to be the casefrom numbers provided byPattie Palzet-Taylor, a RE-MAX real estate agent in Wau-conda.
According to her informa-tion, in the Round Lake mar-ket, 42 percent of closed orpending sales in the last sixmonths were foreclosures orshort sales, which are trans-actions in which proceeds areless than the debts on prop-erties. That’s in an area withsome the lowest median house-hold incomes in Lake County– Round Lake Beach’s, for in-stance, is $60,869.
During the same time, 20percent of Wauconda’s and 9percent of Barrington’s saleswere foreclosures or shortsales. Wauconda and Bar-rington have median house-hold incomes of $74,552 and$106,127, respectively.
“There’s nothing in this in-formation that surprises me,”Palzet-Taylor said. “It’s themiddle class that gets whackedthe most when there is an eco-nomic downturn.”
According to the MainstreetOrganization of Realtors, pric-es for single-family homes insuburban Chicago rose 5.7 per-
cent in July, compared withthe same period a year ago.The number of homes undercontract increased last month
2.7 percent.“The number of suburban
homes under contract contin-ues to trend strong, which will
lead to more closings in thefall,” Michael Parent of theRealtors group said in a newsrelease. “During July and Au-
gust, buyers typically put theirhome search on the backburn-er in favor of family vacations.Market activity cools, thenheats back up in Septemberand October.”
Over the past year, theRound Lake market has seenits median home price sky-rocket – from $77,000 last Julyto nearly double that this July.Wauconda’s dropped by 6 per-cent in the same period, butjumped by nearly a quarterfrom June to July this year.
In general, Palzet-Taylorsaid she has seen houses morethan $200,000 move faster thanthey did a year ago, but buyersare being careful.
“I think buyers are waymore cautious after the eco-nomic tsunami,” she said.“There was a time when peo-ple used their homes as anATM machine. That time hasgone.”
The interest rate set by theFederal Reserve, Parent said,is expected to increase in thecoming months, making thepresent a good time for buyersto act.
“The current low interestrates are a fortunate byprod-uct of a national economy thatis still recovering,” he said inthe news release. “Rates re-main below 5 percent, but astronger GDP in the comingquarters could increase inter-est rates by 1 or 2 percent inthe course of a few weeks.”

Wellness Place closes, staff encourages supporters to still walk in ChicagoSUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
PALATINE – WellnessPlace will close its doors, at1619 W. Colonial Parkway inPalatine, Oct. 15, because of alack of funds.
The nonprofit cancer re-source and education facility,which has provided free pro-grams and services to north-west suburban residents for14 years, by means of privatedonations, will close due to“projected financial sustain-ability concerns,” a news re-lease states.
Cathy Schulze, chairman ofthe Wellness Place board, saidthe center closes with a “heavyheart.”
“As we prepare for thistransition, we are fully com-mitted to working with eachand every participant to findresources for ongoing support,and we are grateful for the gen-erous community support thathas allowed us to fulfill ourmission for so many years,”Schulze said.

will be available to patients,such as support organizationslike Cancer Wellness Center,Wellness House, Cancer Sup-port Center, Living Well andGilda’s Club, as well as areahospitals like Advocate GoodShepherd, Advocate LutheranGeneral, Alexian Brothers, St.Alexius and individual coun-selors and therapists in thecommunity.
“We have set up folders inour front waiting area list-ing the location of each can-cer-specific support group inthe area,” Scortino said.
Wellness Place staffers areavailable to meet with groupsand individuals to assist inidentifying continued supportfor all participants. Programsand services will continue asplanned through September,as the board, staff and vol-unteers work to “facilitate asmooth transition” for currentparticipants to other availablecommunity resources, the re-lease says.
Schulze said she encourag-es any concerned participantsto call for individual appoint-ments with staff counselors, as
needed.In addition, Sept. 14 is the
10th anniversary of the SeaBlue Prostate Cancer Walkand Run in Lincoln Park, Chi-cago.

A crowd watches as Ace Hardware’s John Brown pours a bucket of water on people during the PaulLauner’s Iron Horse Brigade Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS at the Gazebo in downtown Barrington.
In wake of the Barrington Community Ice Bucket Challenge a
week ago, Paul Launer’s Iron Horse Brigade ALS Walk team has
raised more than $50,000 to fund ALS research. The local Fog-
lia Family Foundation agreed to match donations up to $50,000,
which means Launer’s supporters will be able to bring more
than $100,000 to the Les Turner ALS Walk on Sept. 21 at Chicago’s
Soldier Field.Launer, a Barrington father of two, was diagnosed
with ALS in June 2011. A group of friends, family and communi-
ty members join together to fundraiser for the walk in Launer’s
honor each year.
Barrington High School has been named one of the nation’s best
public high schools by The Daily Beast. BHS ranked in the top
100 public high schools for ACT and SAT scores. Judging criteria
included graduation and college acceptance rates, college-level
courses and exams, percentage of students with free or reduced
lunch and test scores. About 95 percent of BHS students gradu-
ate and are college-bound, and about 30 percent of students are
enrolled in college-level courses. BHS placed 213 out of more than
735 schools.

Summer has ended, and that means it’s back to school timefor families across the country. For those parents who recentlyloaded up the car and dropped their kids off at college, the ex-citement of another year of school is tempered by another yearof looming tuition bills and ever increasing education expenses.
To take some of the guesswork out of financial planning,the House passed the Strengthening Transparency in HigherEducation Act, which creates a consumer-tested College Dash-board, giving students and parents the tools to fully under-stand the total cost of collegebefore deciding where tocontinue their education.
Another bill, the Em-powering Students ThroughEnhanced Financial Counsel-ing Act, provides interactivecounseling through an online tool each year a student partici-pates in a federal loan program. By increasing loan awarenessand financial planning before and throughout the collegeexperience, we can eliminate surprise expenses and ensurestudents work through available grant and scholarship optionsto shrink the size of their student loan.
The House also passed two bills that would streamlinethe tax code, making it easier for families to use tax creditsto make college more affordable. The Student and FamilyTax Simplification Act consolidates four existing educationprovisions into a single, modernized and permanent AmericanOpportunity Tax Credit that families can use to offset tuitionexpenses, fees and course materials. Middle- and low-incomefamilies would be eligible for a 100 percent tax credit for thefirst $2,000 of eligible higher education expenses and a 25percent tax credit for the next $2,000 of such expenses, provid-ing relief for those who need it the most. The House also votedto reform the Child Tax Credit, indexing it to inflation andeliminating the marriage penalty so families can more easilyreceive their full eligible amount. Simplifying education taxcredits ensures families can get the most savings possible, andstudents can spend less time worrying about financing theireducation, instead focusing on developing the skills necessaryto enter the workforce.
Obtaining a quality education is key to bettering the lives ofour children and ensuring their long term success, and gettinga college degree shouldn’t mean a lifetime of student loan debt.These common-sense, bipartisan bills are a big step towardtackling the cost of higher education, and opening up moreopportunities for the next generation.
U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, represents Illinois’ 6thDistrict.

Advocating for aRound Lake youth centerThere is a great way to createtogetherness within the RoundLake community. Help give thestudents of District 116 anotherpositive outlet. Feel free to visitwww.rlayc.webnode.com tobe a part of the discussion increating a youth center for theRound Lake area.
Concerns aboutSilverado buildingI see that one of our neigh-
boring villages is having a newcomplaint day. I wish that LakeZurich would have one and,of course, we could start offwith the old Paradise Park, newSilverado building, because Iam elderly and I find that placeabsolutely scary. I think youshould go through it and kind ofstraighten it out.
What a worldWow, dogs can pee on your
flowers. And you can have aflowerbed attract butterflies,finches and hummingbirds, butit’s considered a noxious weed.What a world.
A response to theincident in Ferguson, Mo.I want to respond to the
person that said somethingabout Ferguson and the video.They said that Brown was not agentle giant. I don’t care whatkind of giant he was. He did notdeserve to be shot six times andtwo times in the head. He was ahuman being, OK? Wake up. We[are] tired of shooting peopledown. And as always – why[does] it always have to be awhite cop and a black youth?Why is that – a white cop and ablack youth? It’s never a blackcop and a white youth. Whyis that? It happened too manytimes. Give me a break, OK?
More about Ferguson, Mo.This is in response to the man
whowondered about the riots inFerguson, Mo. Rather than doingall that fancy thinking you’redoing, maybe you should do alittle research and realize that inthe last number of years it’s beenopen season on African-Ameri-
cans by the police, whether or notthe African-Americans are armed.Howmanymore dead peoplemust there be before someonedoes decide, “Hey, let’s protest?”
All political candidatesare liars about assetsIt’s humorous as how the people
running for office accuse eachother of using loopholes to notpay taxes. One example is havingtheir money saved overseas indifferent accounts, which is justlaughable because they all do thesame thing. They all knowwhereand how to hide their assets andthen lie to the voters. Not every-one believes these lies, I hope.
Nothing but complaintsHave you noticed that people
in the Sound Off, all they do iscomplain. Yes, the taxes arehigh, but what are you going todo? If you own property, real es-tate taxes are high. Also, aboutcomplaining about anything youhave to fix around the house.You have to hire somebody.It’s very pricey. That’s anotherissue. Yes, you have real estatetaxes. But if you don’t own aproperty and rent, what doesthat cost you? They can just tellyou to move out, like they did tomy godmother. Owning or notowning, that’s all there is.

SOUTH BARRINGTON –Edging Hoffman Estates, TheLucky Monk brewery andeatery is hidden from plainsight. The nearly five-year-oldrestaurant is just far enoughfrom the hustle and bustleof the Arboretum shoppingcenter, but don’t let it foolyou. This joint draws a crowdof its own.
My date and I made theright choice in reserving aFriday evening table daysin advance. Our arrival wasseamless – able to find park-ing without using free valetand being seated immediately.Plenty of visitors were able toenjoy a craft brew at the barwhile they awaited a table.
Our waiter was incrediblyknowledgeable about both thebeer and the food. He recom-mended just about everythingon the menu and we soonfound out why. I’ve grownto rank my Mystery Dinerexperiences and The LuckyMonk’s food is in my top three– amazing.
After taking a peek into theon-site, 10-barrel brew house,we asked to start with anorder of ‘Crisp Calamari’ and‘Tomato Goat Cheese Fon-due.’ Other starter items onthe menu included hummus,warm pretzels, buffalo wings,cheese curds, empanadas andfried pickles.
I have no words for thefondue. It was above andbeyond what I would haveever expected. Goat cheesecan have a strong flavor andthis dish accommodated forthat by pairing it with freshtomato sauce and herbs. Weeach had our own small loaf ofgarlic oil crostini bread to dipat our leisure. I really enjoyedthe dish because fondue canbe too filling when it’s solelycheese and the tomato saucedefinitely lightened it up.
The calamari was a sur-prise as well. It didn’t includeany fried squid tentacles –phew. “Point Judith” cala-mari came breaded in ringsand mixed with giardiniera– a fun spin on the commonappetizer for us hot pepper
lovers. A small cup of Parme-san and tomato fondue wasserved on the side for dipping.Let’s just say we couldn’tget enough fondue. It wasrefreshing to have somethingfresh to dip with, rather thana pre-made cocktail sauce.
Where we ready to placeour dinner order? Why not.
Burgers? Pizza? Salad?Fish? Tacos? The choice washard. My date went with the‘N’awlins Chicken’ sandwich. Iselected the barbecue salmon.
As you can imagine, we
were well on our way towardsfull; however, a good dent wasmade in these meals. My dateexclaimed that his sand-wich – cajun chicken breast,pepperjack cheese, crispyonion strings, chili-garlicmayo, lettuce and tomato on
a brioche bun– was one of thebest chicken sandwiches he’shad in his life. I could say thesame for my salmon.
The fish came roasted ona ceda -plank, but tasted com-pletely different than I hadimagined – in a good way. Itdidn’t taste smokey at all. TheBBQ sauce really sweetenedup the dish and if I hadn’tused a fork, it would havebeen finger lickin’ fabulous.Plus, the fillet was still tenderand perfectly done. Mashedpotatoes and seasonal vegeta-bles were menu sides. I choseall vegetables and finishedthem entirely – very seasonal.
A round of applause goesto anyone who can move ontoThe Lucky Monk’s ‘House-Made Sticky Donuts’ or‘Turtle Cookie Dough Brown-ie’ after a meal of that size.We enjoyed just sitting backand looking at walls full ofempty bourbon barrels. Therestaurant was comfy – some-where you could stay awhileafter your meal. It appeared asthough a live band was gettingready to set up.

16 First football game sets momentum for seasonBy TIM SIECK
Barrington Suburban LifeContributor
BARRINGTON – Fast startsare always key for any gameand any sport. Barrington’sstart against Jacobs on Fri-day night couldn’t have beenmuch faster in the Broncos’37-0 shutout.
On the opening play ofthe season, junior JohnnyDavidson connected withsenior Scotty Miller, and Ja-cobs had no chance as Millertook it 64 yards for the open-ing score. Before the offensecould even get settled, theBroncos defense forced a Ja-cobs turnover. Three playslater, Davidson used his legsthis time and scored on an11-yard scramble to put Bar-rington up 14-0. It took just 31seconds for Barrington to puttwo touchdowns on the score-board.
“I was happy with the waywe came out today.” Bar-rington coach Joe Sanchezsaid. “We were able to grabhold of the momentum, andthat is crucial when you play agood team like Jacobs.”
Barrington (1-0) welcomedback wide receiver MitchellPfeiffer, who sat out last sea-son, and the senior wasted lit-tle time to show he was happyto be back. Pfeiffer’s first re-ception resulted in a 32-yardscore, and he followed that lat-er in the second quarter with a67-yard touchdown receptionto put the Broncos up 27-0 at
the half. The senior receiv-er finished the evening withthree receptions for 113 yardsand two touchdowns.
One question Barringtonneeded to answer this seasonwas who would be the team’sstarting quarterback. The bat-tle seemed like an even oneall summer between juniorDavidson and senior AdamBroomfield. Two weeks ago,
Davidson was named thestarter, and although Fridaywas just one game, the deci-sion sure seems to be the rightone. The junior finished a firststart going 14-for-17 for 255yards and three touchdownspassing and one touchdownrushing in just under threequarters of play.
“I was nervous before thegame, but that first completion
really helped me get over mynerves fast,” Davidson said.“The first play was huge formy confidence. We have a lotof depth and a lot of weaponson offense, and that reallyhelps me be successful.”
The Broncos defense wasalso in midseason form asBarrington held a high-pow-ered Jacobs offense out of theend zone and forced three
turnovers. The defense wasled by Jake Coon, who hadseveral huge hits from thelinebacker position and an in-terception.

Barrington quarterback Johnny Davidson throws a pass for a touchdown the first play of the game Fridayduring varsity football against Jacobs at Barrington High School.
“I was nervous before
the game, but that first
completion really helped
me get over my nerves
fast. The first play was
huge for my confidence.
We have a lot of depth
and a lot of weapons on
offense, and that really
helps me be successful.”

Strong projections forBroncos cross country
By TIM SIECKBarrington Suburban Life
Contributor
BARRINGTON – The ex-pectations are high once againfor the Broncos as the crosscountry season is ready to be-gin. Coach Tom Root said hefeels this team has just whatit needs to be successful andis excited for what this seasonmay bring.
The team: Returning run-ners for Barrington includeseniors Konrad Eiring, KyleMonahan and Ben Laning.The key newcomers will beseniors Tate Fisher, KurtisMonahan, and Andy Gens-burg along with juniors AlexMaher and Jack Coombs.
The schedule: Hersey isthe defending champion ofthe MSL and figures to betough again this season. TheBroncos begin their seasonwith a meet against Herseyso they should know early onhow they stack up. The restof the conference season willbe tough because if history isany indicator, the MSL shouldagain send many runners tothe state meet.
Outside of the conferenceschedule, the Broncos also willrun at the Lake County Meet(Sept. 3), Wauconda Invite(Sept. 13), Argo Invitational(Sept. 20) and Wheeling In-vite (Oct. 11). The measuring
stick for Barrington will be the
Peoria Notre Dame Invite on
(Sept. 20).This meet features a
lot of the top teams and run-
ners in the state, and the Bron-
cos can see how they rank. In
the past, the Broncos have run
some of their fastest times at
this meet and this will allow
them to see how they compare
to past Barrington teams.
The season will conclude
with the conference meet on
Oct. 18, regionals on Oct. 25,
sectionals on Nov. 1, and the
state meet Nov. 8.
The outlook: This team can
be good if it attacks every race
as if it was their last and hold
nothing back. Coach Root
feels the team could work on
their confidence.
This team is relatively in-
experienced so it will quick-
ly need to realize how fit and
strong it is after a great sum-
mer program and need to
learn to rely on one another
and work together in races.
The main objective of this
team is to remain healthy and
strong come October and No-
vember and a state appearance
wouldn’t be out of the ques-
tion. The top seven runners
will feature quite a few new
faces who will need to devel-
op into a cohesive and trusting
unit. The potential is there,
but like most teams they will
live or die by the strength of
their pack.
