Handful of collegiate commitments from New Trier, GBS

OF NOTE 

There’s plenty to be excited about in the CSL as the leaves change color, postseason sports get into full swing and state championships are crowned. Some changes may be coming to the newsletter soon as I take on a new opportunity that I can share about in the coming days.

 Glenbrook North claimed a Class 2A state championship with a 2-day score of 603 at Hickory Point Golf Club in Decatur. They were 2 strokes better than runner-up Hinsdale Central.

The 2-day scores that counted toward that 603 came from Kacie Moon (148), Laura Hu (150), Martha Kuwahara (152), and Alexis Myers (153).
