Downers Grove South welcomes back junior Spencer Schmidt, a junior who qualified for state on floor last year, but will need to fill spots around him as another state qualifier, Michael Figueroa, graduated. Glenbard North has seen the numbers of its program skyrocket, which is one huge positive. Another is having Dan Housour returning for his senior season after tying for fourth on vault and 18th in the all-around at state. Seniors Abdullah Almasoudi, Hamza Faisal, Jared Mejia and Joshua Stanekas also return."A lot of these kids are just two years into it, but they've got that 'Eye of the Tiger.' They are hungry to get as far as they can," coach Denny Wellman said.
Lake Park will vie for a state title after a runner-up finish last season behind all-arounders Karl Vachlin, Ryan Czeck and Bryce Menski who finished 6th, 14th and 21st in the state respectively last May. Senior Nate Devitt also returns while sophomore Sergio Hernandez is a new addition.
Wheaton co-op sophomores Jack Ongstad, Patrick Malone and David Shimp return after impressive debuts that culminated at the state meet as individuals and as a team."Our younger athletes will have to develop and provide depth if we are to have a chance of returning to state this year," coach Greg Gebhardt said. Seniors Mike Hertz and Brad Riggs and junior Drew Berger return while Lars Berger, Nick Tabaku and Kaden Story join the team.
