Fiegen Goes Ivy
New Trier’s Jake Fiegen became the latest Central Suburban League athlete to commit to a Division I institution to compete athletically. Fiegen pledged his verbal commitment to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
A a sharpshooter for the Trevians, I watched Fiegen play briefly this summer and saw what a capable shooter he was.
New Trier sharpshooter Jake Fiegen commits to Cornell.
Glenbrook South graduate Cooper Noard is on the Cornell roster for this upcoming season.

When you lose a Super Hero the entire community feels it 😞🙏🏾. A loving father, husband, and amazing mentor for so many students has been taken from us too soon. The Town, track community, and the sidelines won’t be the same. One last “Sak Pase N'ap Boule” 🇭🇹💔🕊 Coach Thomas https://t.co/8Q3vALepiW
