Junior Molly Orbon advanced in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:11.17 and senior Jessie Dinelli took eighth in diving to earn a spot at state. GBN will send relay teams in the 200 free relay and the 400 free relay as well.
BOYS HOCKEY - GBN upped its win streak to six games after wins over Evanston (9-3), the Park Ridge Midget Major Team (5-3) and Loyola Maroon (5-1). The Spartans (16-6-3), , are an impressive 9-0 in the Metro North and will play at Warren and Highland Park in conference games after a Tuesday home against Prairie Ridge.
GIRLS BASKETBALL - Winter sports kick off this week with the Spartans taking part in the Mundelein Invite to launch the season. GBN opens Tuesday against Grayslake North and also plays Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday games in the tournament. The Spartans return seniors Rachel Blitt and Whitney Landman and welcome senior transfer Gracie Sanchez to the starting lineup and should fare better than last year's 6-24 squad.
