“You have to learn to play in a whole new style,” Fitzgerald said.

While both musicians have been playing their instruments since fourth grade and passed the competitive audition process for their respective traveling groups, the German conductors surprised them by leading the musicians to play the same pieces differently than they had learned in America.

Even though neither Klaas or Fitzgerald speak a second language fluently, they forged relationships with their budding foreign language skills.

ELMHURST – A pair of York High School students expected to learn new music and see new sights when they embarked on a monthlong European music tour, but they didn’t expect to also form such strong bonds with their host families.

“I’m an only child, so I have no siblings, but each family I stayed [with] had an older host brother, or younger host sister, or something,” said Kayman Klaas, 15, who plays the clarinet.

The York sophomore spent roughly two days with each of his host families while he toured seven communities in Germany, France and Austria with the Blue Lake International Southern Winds. Host families greeted him and his bandmates while they unloaded their bus at each new stop, and from that first moment, Klaas felt like a member of the strangers’ households.

This summer, Callie Fitzgerald, 16, a string bassist, traveled with the Blue Lake International Youth Symphony Orchestra for the second time. Although she traveled Germany, France and Belgium last year, the group spent the trip traveling Germany this time. An only child as well, Fitzgerald was excited to see familiar faces during the journey.

“We went to two of the same stops in Germany, and I saw both of my old host families,” Fitzgerald said.

Both students made friends with many of their

host family members on Facebook and hope to keep in touch with them. Klaas said he bonded with one of his host sisters over their mutual appreciation for the band, Green Day. She also said one of Fitzgerald’s host brothers would grill her about recently released American movies, trying to predict when they might be translated into German so he could watch them.

The trip also provided to the two musicians with new experiences, as well.

“I got to climb up a mountain in Austria,” said Klaas.

“That was probably my favorite thing that I did with one of my host families.”

He also performed at the base of a mountain during an outdoor concert in Austria.

Fitzgerald got the unique opportunity to perform in a 100-year-old castle and in a concert hall where classical music greats George Frideric Handel and Joseph Haydn once played.

“You sit in there, and you play just even one note and you think, ‘I could never find this anywhere else,’” Fitzgerald said.

In addition to incredible scenery and acoustics, the Elmhurst musicians learned more about music than they expected, too.

They spent eight hours a day learning their music for roughly a week before leaving for Europe, but their instruction didn’t end there.

Klaas traveled with an American conductor, but had the opportunity to learn from a guest German conductor,

Volunteers clean up Churchville gardens SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

EHP

ELMHURST – About 40 students, faculty and parents donated their Saturday morning to spruce up Churchville Middle School’s prairie and diversity gardens before school starts.

The group of volunteers pulled weeds and picked up trash last weekend. Art teacher Ashley Skinner set up a tie-dye station for student volunteers.

Churchville Principal Gina Reeder and Assistant Principal Peter Cunningham also made it to the annual event.

The Churchville Prairie, the dream of former teacher Ron Capek, serves as an outdoor classroom. It’s in full bloom this time of year.

Churchville parent Elizabeth Dierksheide helped fund the gardens through grants she wrote several years ago. Community groups such as the Elmhurst 205 Foundation, the DuPage Community Foundation, the Elmhurst Garden Club, the Elmhurst Park District and the Churchville PTA support the restoration of the prairie garden.

The real tragedy behind vision-stealing glaucoma is that most people afflicted with this eye disease do not even realize they have it. As a result, the condition goes undiagnosed and untreated, which too often leads to unnecessary blindness. Of the 2.7 million people in the United States with glaucoma, half are undiagnosed. Most are lulled into a false sense of confidence because glaucoma often displays no symptoms in it’s early stages. By the time it begins to affect vision, any lost sight is impossible to regain. The risk of developing glaucoma begins to increase dramatically at midlife, which is why everyone should have a baseline exam by age 40. A follow-up exam schedule can then be determined by baseline results.

Diagnosing glaucoma is not always very easy, and careful evaluation of the optic nerve continues to be essential to a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Detection of glaucoma requires periodic eye exams with ancillary testing. It is especially important for people over 40 and those with huge risk factors such as a family history of glaucoma and being severely nearsighted.

To schedule an appointment, please call SKOWRON EYE CARE. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

PS: While glaucoma is most common in middle-aged individuals, the disease can strike at any age, with those having a family history of the disease being especially vulnerable.

ELMHURST – An Elmhurst resident brings artistic talent to a newly created position at the Elmhurst Park District.

York alumna elected to Elon University Board of Trustees

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – A York High School alumna said she learned more than physics at Elon University, where she graduated from this past spring.

“I would do anything to stay a part of it,” 22-year-old Ali Deatsch said.

The volleyball star recently was elected to the Elon University Board of Trustees, but giving back to her community always has driven Deatsch in all aspects of life.

When she started college, she admits she wasn’t sure what her career path would be, but she knew she liked physics in high school.

Even while playing varsity volleyball as a freshman, Deatsch managed to earn impressive grades in her physics classes. She even began to apply her studies on the court.

“I can definitely see the forces and the angles,” Deatsch said.

Before she knew it, she had the opportunity to perform re-

“He taught me pretty much everything I know about research and physics,” Deatsch said.

Under his guidance, Deatsch explored how nontoxic magnetic nanoparticles could be used to target and destroy cancer cells as an alternative to chemotherapy. Deatsch had not only found a career field that she excelled at, but a cause that was dear to her heart.

“I had a friend who passed away from cancer my freshman year of college,” she said.

thigh eventually took Potts’ life four years later when she was a sophomore at Elmhurst College.

“She was just an absolute inspiration,” Deatsch said.

With Potts in mind, Deatsch worked on the alternative cancer treatment research that she hopes one day will save lives.

By her sophomore year at Elon, she had prepared a research plan worthy of her school’s prestigious Lumen Prize. As a 2011 Lumen Scholar, Deatsch received a $15,000 scholarship toward her research, which she also presented at conferences in San Diego, Philadelphia and Sorrento, Italy.

Presenting her research alongside other revolutionary projects going on throughout the country and around the world gave Deatsch a new perspective. She realized she was making new advancements like other researchers.

While working on her research, Deatsch also continued to play varsity volleyball for Elon throughout her college career, even taking on the role

of co-captain during her junior and senior years. She also found time to take a three-week environmental class in Costa Rica before graduating with a degree in physics and three minors in applied mathematics, astronomy and psychology.

“When you want to do all of those things and your passionate about it, it makes all the difference,” Deatsch said.

Her family also supports her. Deatsch calls her 24-yearold big sister, Kelly – who is in physical therapy school – her study partner, and plays volleyball with her youngest sister, 18-year-old Melissa.

While she begins her twoyear role as a youth trustee for Elon University, Ali Deatsch is pursuing her doctorate in physics at Notre Dame. She hopes to continue material science research like the work she did as an undergraduate, but she’s equally excited to be one of the two youth trustees to her alma mater.

schools in which at least 40 percent of the students come from low-income families, with the intent to offer programs that increase those students’ academic success.

During Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting, Pruneau said the Illinois State Board of Education tentatively published its list of schools that made AYP last year, and it included more District 205 schools than Jefferson.

“It appears that the state has made a decision to change the criteria this year of the finding [of] AYP in the state of Illinois,” Pruneau said.

He explained the state changed the confidence interval that is applied to the formula used to determine AYP from 95 percent to 75 percent.

The state also redesigned safe harbor, which deals with performance targets for student subgroups.

The changes to how AYP is calculated will not affect school choice because the district already declared Jefferson the only option for school choice.

Pruneau also spoke about changes to the Fischer ELL program. He explained that district staff and Fischer staff met multiple times to reevalu-

ate the program.

“We were able to come to a staffing model that I think the Fischer staff is supportive of and satisfied with, and meets the needs of all the students at Fischer, which was the bottom line for us,” Pruneau said.

The new model adds a bilingual resource teacher to the existing ELL program at Fischer. This resource teacher will provide additional support to students transitioning out of bilingual classroom if necessary. The district also brought back a teacher that it previously planned on transferring to another school.

ELMHURST – Thirty-two students are registered to transfer from Conrad Fischer Elementary to Jefferson Elementary this year.

Fischer students were given the choice under the No Child Left Behind Act to transfer to a school that made its adequate yearly progress (AYP) targets.

Fischer has not made its targets for the past two years.

District 205 gave parents just more than two weeks to decide if they wanted to transfer their students, even though the

state had not released final AYP results. District staff hoped to prepare students, teachers and parents by the first day of school, which is Monday.

“We did add a fifth grade [class] to Jefferson in order to accommodate those students,” Superintendent Dave Pruneau said.

An additional section of kindergarten also was added at Jefferson. The district will use up to 20 percent of Fischer’s Title I funding to provide free bus service to transfer students, as required by the No Child Left Behind Act, too.

Elmhurst College receives state grant for improvements SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA ELMHURST – Elmhurst College plans to renovate and expand its Arthur J. Schaible Science Center with $1.5 million in grants the college has received from the state.

The grant money comes as part of Gov. Pat Quinn’s Illinois Jobs Now! program aimed at creating construction jobs for state workers. The program provides $90 million specifically to address the needs of Illinois’ private colleges and universities.

DuPage and Will county private colleges and universities received a total of $6.7 million in grants for campus construction, improvements and upgrades.

The first phase of the multiyear project will address the Schaible Science Center’s most important needs, including new or renovated labs and classrooms. Elmhurst College President S. Alan Ray said the grant money will benefit the growing number of students who are majoring in science and health-related fields at the school.

York Township Senior Center is a ‘cool’ spot As the summer wanes and Labor Day approaches, please remember that the York Township Senior Center at 1502 South Meyers Road is an official cooling center for senior citizens.

Seniors who need relief from the heat can stay in our air conditioned auditorium, open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday COMMUNITY through Friday. If there is VOICE an event or class going on in the auditorium, please be disJohn creet. Either join in or find Valle a comfy chair in the hallway until the event is over.

Seniors should take extra precautions during heat waves and are advised to stay in air conditioned spaces at least several hours during the daytime. On extra hot days, anyone without air conditioning should take refuge with family or friends whose homes are cooled. Other alternatives are public buildings such as libraries, park districts and shopping malls.

And even if you don’t need relief from the summer weather, York Township Senior Center is a good place to be.

Depending on the day and time, you may play bridge or pinochle or attend an art class or sit in with a woodcarving class. We also have activities that provide a little more exercise such as Yoga, Tai Chi, Line Dancing and Yuan Ji, a combination of Tai Chi and dance.

For those of you who enjoy being pampered, a barber, beautician and occasional foot care clinics are available by appointment.

We have a free movie on the big screen in our auditorium every Tuesday afternoon.

Throughout the year, we schedule many one-day trips, in-house parties and entertainment as well as many educational seminars. We also offer referral services to seniors who need legal aid or chores done around their house.

Our capable Senior Center staff also can help you apply for LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program), Circuit Breaker Assistance and SHIP (Senior Health Insurance Program).

We continuously are looking for new programs and services to offer to our seniors. For information or if you have any suggestions about new activities, seminars or classes you want to see us offer, call York Township Senior Center at 630-620-2424.

John Valle is the supervisor of York Township.

Cooking partners Ryan Bowman and Matt Arnieri are shown after winning silver medals in a team competition last school year.

A thumbs up to Matt Arnieri. The York High School senior recently won the Kendall Cook Challenge for an original recipe. What was the winning dish? Arnieri won with stuffed poblano peppers with spicy salmon and Spanish-style quinoa. Sounds delicious to us.

A thumbs up to Elmhurst resident Joan Knippen. Knippen will serve as race chairwoman for Lombard’s third race at the Komen Race for the Cure 5K in Lombard on Sept. 22. After walking in her first race, Knippen set a tough goal for her self: she wanted to run – not walk – across the finish line. She did just that the next year.

Knippen said people’s stories of surviving breast cancer continue to inspire and motivate her to be involved in the Komen races.

Race on the weekend On the recent bicycle race in Elmhurst: Possibly I missed something, and was not aware, but it seemed like the timeframe for that during the day on a weekday could be better planned. I think I made about three different attempts to try to get to the library and streets were shut down. I know it was the first time they ever did this, but my opinion and suggestion, would be maybe to try it on a Sunday or Saturday morning early in the morning before businesses and things are open.

Elmhurst church sponsors clean water project mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com

In the heart of Downers Grove Looking for unique home decorations, furnishings and gifts? Then Max Logan’s is the place for you. The selection includes vases, plates, dishes, artwork and picture frames. as well as a variety of handcrafted jewelry and scented bath goods and seasonal gifts. Open Monday through Saturday.

ELMHURST – When the Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church’s community service team learned how far financial support could go toward clean water projects in developing nations, the group began a year-long search for the best nonprofit to partner with on such a project.

Elmhurst resident and community service team member Anna Wick described clean water projects as the “best bang for your giving buck.”

The team raised more than $30,000 through two events this summer, which will be enough money to cover the cost of a clean water project.

After narrowing the field to five potential charities donate, the team settled on Water Missions International and began a relationship they plan to build on for years to come.

“They have a sustainable model,” Wick said of why they were chosen.

Wick said the Christian engineering charity not only implements custom clean water systems in developing nations, but also trains people in the community to maintain them. The systems vary by each community’s need and proximity to a natural water source. Water Missions International also provides ongoing support should the system need repairs.

Wick said she is excited to learn about the community her church will contribute to through updates and photos.

She expects to receive a list of communities to choose from within the next few weeks.

The community service team raised the bulk of the funds for the project with the Walk in a Bucket event earlier this month. Around 175 people of all ages made a 2-mile walk from the church to the pond near Eldridge Park and back, filling buckets with water from the pond.

“The whole idea of it is to replicate what many women and children have to do every day for their water,” Wick said.

Wick said the experience was moving, especially when they saw the fresh pond water, unpurified and filled with dirt from the banks. While her children still are too young to understand the project, Wick said many parents used the walk as a learning tool for their children.

Because the church will continue to build a relationship with their future community partner, Wick doesn’t anticipate repeating the project the in near future. The community service team often chooses new projects in order to involve people with different passions.

“People have a heart for different causes,” Wick said.

The church used funds raised during a garage sale earlier in the summer to surpass their goal, which Wick admits she had doubts about reaching during the project’s planning stages.

“To have it come out like this and to have us reach our goal; it was really an amazing feeling,” Wick said.

Proft said.

Proft remained hopeful despite the dismal picture he painted for Illinois’ future – a view shared by audience mem-

ber Charles Falk.

“He’s very much on target,” said Falk, of Schaumburg, who had seen Proft speak before.

But while Proft held on to the

hope that Illinois could survive, Falk said he wants to move out of state soon.

“I believe the state is beyond redemption,” Falk said.

ELMHURST – WLS Radio talk show host Dan Proft stated he was not running for governor when his former boss, Lee Daniels, pressed him during Proft’s lecture on Illinois politics at Elmhurst College last week.

Proft worked on Daniels’ staff when he was House Republican leader in 1996. Proft also ran for governor in 2010, an event the former candidate joked about last week.

“I know it was kind of a well-guarded secret, but I did run for governor in 2010,” Proft laughed.

Although Proft denied he was running for the office,

a member of his staff said recently that he still hasn’t made a decision. He did, however, offer ideas about how to reform state politics during his lecture titled “Illinois Isn’t Broken. It’s Fixed,” which was the second installment in an ongoing speaker series at Elmhurst College about Illinois politics.

“State government must be producing what [politicians] want it to produce because it serves their interests very well,” Proft said.

Proft stressed the need to change the political culture of Illinois before the law will follow.

“We have systems that are set up such that they cannot deliver what they promised,”

• LETTERS Continued from page 12 in mind. Even though school staff can have their summers “off,” most are still thinking of their students, reading and/ or finding research, shopping for classroom materials and attending summer workshops.

I especially want to wish the Conrad Fischer staff, led

by Principal Jane Bailey, the best as they return with many changes in their building.

School choice and transfer of staff are two of these biggest changes. I hope District 205 administration, with Mr. Pruneau in charge, will support Fischer in all aspects.

I am also hopeful that ELL Supervisor, Ms. Mulattierri, will work with the Fischer staff and all interested community members in making sure significant decisions are made with the students in mind. All students.

What you will find within the Fischer walls are young, innocent minds who are eager to learn and look forward to seeing familiar Fischer faces.

These children thrive in this diverse setting, as they learn many academic and social life lessons which prepare them for middle school, high school and beyond.

In turn, Jane and her staff are positive, intelligent, creative and visible for many hours before and after school. They also consider data and look at the whole child, as they consider best practices in teaching.

Thanks also to the District 205 School Board as Fischer parents and community members voiced many questions and concerns and board members sought answers. With federal and state mandates affecting curriculum, instruction and financial matters, District 205 administrators and faculty will have to think “out of the box” many times this school year, but good decisions can be made with feedback from all stakeholders, honesty, support and respect for one another, and always keeping the students in mind.

Ask a Pro Q:

I have had an ongoing sewer issue for the past several years. he culprit is tree roots and I have been told by a number of plumbing and sewer outits that the solution is to replace it. Of course my sewer line travels beneath my relatively new landscaped yard and also the front walkway and I’ve been putting of this project. I have done some poking around and discovered that an alternative to digging would be to insert a liner so the tree roots don’t grow back. Is this a viable solution?

Sewer lining is an excellent solution. Provided that the existing line doesn’t have signiicant shits, separations, or misalignments that would impede the insertion of a liner, “trenchless” as it is commonly referred to, may very well be the answer for you. To ind out if your line is a candidate, you will need a clear picture of your entire line so the line may be inspected for pipe integrity. In the case where tree roots are present, a clear Mike Borowski visual on the camera will typically irst require a thorough cleaning of the entire line. If it is Vice President determined your sewer is a candidate for a lining, then you can decide on whether to reline just the problematic area(s) where the roots are causing the backups, or you may opt to line the entire sewer. he liner is made up of a felt “sock” permeated with a resin and an inner bladder that will allow the liner to be inlated with air during installation.

Once the prepared liner is inserted into your sewer line, the liner gets inlated so it presses tightly against the inner wall of your existing sewer until the (630) 225-7060 resin is cured in place. Once the resin has cured, the bladder is removed and www.precisiontoday.com you are let with a seamless pipe inside of a pipe, prohibiting the roots from obstructing your sewer line. To ind out if you’re a candidate for this solution, call your trusted and licensed plumbing professional for an assessment.

Restaurant reviews

A splendid taste of East Asia at Thipi Thai GLEN ELLYN – There’s nothing quite like the mix of sweet and savory flavors that you get from Thai food.

Spiciness is a hallmark of many forms of Asian cuisine, and you’ll get that from Thai food, too. But the combination of opposing flavors sets Thai food apart.

As a longtime fan of the cuisine, I had high hopes when I stopped by Thipi Thai in Glen Ellyn on a recent weeknight. And my dining companion, even more of an aficionado, was nearly chomping at the bit with hunger.

Fortunately, we were not disappointed. From the enchanting decor to the delightful dishes, we were in for a terrifically memorable meal.

Without hesitation, we placed our drink orders as soon as we saw the menu – we never pass up a chance to get Thai iced tea. It’s a strongly brewed iced tea with sugar and condensed milk.

The milk and the sugar complement the bitterness of the tea rather than masking it, making for a sensation that engages your taste buds.

For appetizers, I opted for the shumai steamed crabmeat dumplings served with soy sesame vinaigrette for dipping. It’s a common order for me, and Thipi Thai’s version was just right. My companion went for the coconut shrimp, which came with a pineapple mango sauce.

“Perfectly sweet and tangy,” my dining companion said.

On to the entrees. We’re both big fans of pad woonsen, which is what my companion ordered, but I thought I’d try something different and selected the orange beef. I’m only moderately tolerant of spicy food, but the menu showed just one pepper next to my choice – the scale appears to go up to three for items such as kung pao noodle chicken.

One particularly spicy pepper caught me by sur-

Pad woonsen chicken can be flavorless at a lesser restaurant, but that’s not a problem at Thipi Thai.

The coconut shrimp are plenty tasty, but it’s the pineapple mango sauce that really seals the deal.

prise, but otherwise it was just right, with the pineapple and mandarin orange slices providing the perfect contrast to the peppers and beef.

I should have saved some to bring home, however,

because I left myself without any room for dessert.

I probably would have chosen the “chocolate pyramid” – chocolate mousse with sauteed bananas over a rum sauce.

I requested a few bites of my companion’s pad woonsen with chicken, and very much enjoyed the mix of cellophane noodles (I’ve seen them referred to as glass noodles elsewhere), chicken, egg and vegetables in a brown

garlic sauce.

Thipi Thai has a high-ceilinged dining area, with an alcove toward the back that’s

up a flight of stairs. Prints of Asian scenes and delightful elephants carved from driftwood adorn the walls.

We found the service to be excellent, attentive without being obtrusive. And the menu has plenty of dishes I’ve never tried before to tempt me to return.

Different feel for preseason football practices

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com Fall sports officially began practicing on Wednesday, but football teams are being forced to work a little bit differently starting this year.

New practice rules set by the IHSA have altered the way coaching staffs are allowed to operate summer practices that take place before school hours return.

Some schools, like York, IC Catholic and Montini, shifted to normal practice hours this week as the start of the football preseason coincided with school starting, so the limitations on early practices only had a minimal impact. Others will be limited for a little more than a week.

The two topics that most coaches brought up were that three-hour practices put an emphasis on efficiency, and

that prohibiting teams from tackling until closer to the first game could cause problems.

“You really have to plan your practices to hit all three areas,” Montini coach Chris Andriano said. “In the preseason that’s hard to do. We’re going to have to be very organized and very smart.”

Andriano used to have Montini run separate practices for offense, defense and special teams. He believes the limited practice time will impact special teams the most.

York coach Steve Nye mentioned that most of the base offensive and defensive concepts were worked on during summer practices. It’s the blitz packages and other more intricate things that will get worked on now. The limited practice time and tackling time makes that tougher.

It also makes it tougher on the younger levels, where play-

ers are still learning the basics of tackling.

“I think it’s really difficult for freshmen to be able to get a team prepared to play in two and a half weeks when they really can’t hit until 10 days before the first game,” Nye said.

“They haven’t really done any tackling. You want to teach them the proper way and the proper technique, but it proves to be pretty difficult. In order to learn how to tackle you have to tackle.”

The general consensus among coaches was that no one argued with the concept behind the new rules. Safety is the priority. However, the complaints came in smaller nit-picks over how the changes were implemented.

“You’re going to find out what happens because of the limited contact and practice time,” Glenbard East coach John Walters said. “It’s going

and heat exhaustion, I’m all for it. It’s one of those things where you’re going to have to take a wait and see stance.”

Entering her second season at Michigan, Christina Ordonez wants nothing more than to help the Wolverines win the Big Ten.

Ordonez is on pace

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Even after starring at the club and high school level, Christina Ordonez still needed time to adjust to Big Ten soccer.

The York grad, who is the school’s all-time leading scorer, is entering her second season at Michigan. In her freshman season, she saw regular action, but wasn’t featured as prominently and had to adjust to the new role.

“It was definitely different for me because it was a lot faster pace, but I had a great experience and I had a lot of fun,” Ordonez said. “I end-

ed up really, really enjoying my first year and I got a good amount of playing time for a freshman.”

Instead of playing up top at forward like she did with the Dukes, which allowed her to score goals in bunches, Ordonez played her club position

of midfield with the Wolverines. It’s the position she said she feels most comfortable with. During the offseason she has been training out wide in both the midfield and defense.

Her versatility will help her get on the field for the Wolverines, which had a 16-53 record and made the NCAA Sweet 16 last fall despite having just three seniors on the roster. Ordonez played in 16 of Michigan’s 24 matches and saw playing time in the NCAA Tournament.

“It’s definitely a really competitive atmosphere and practice is tough, but it’s nice because you really do have to work for your spot,” she

said. “It was a really cool experience to get that far in the tournament. It was cool to be a part of the tournament.”

Despite playing further from goal than she did in high school, Ordonez still found the back of the net twice for Michigan. She said scoring her first career goal was the highlight of her season.

Ordonez said the day-today commitment and hours put into soccer was the bigger adjustment from her club and high school days. All the games and travel throughout her youth career were trumped by the work and training Michigan demands.

“I think it’s definitely a lot

different than club because it was so much more intense and so much more soccer,” Ordonez said. “When you’re not doing soccer you’re doing weightlifting and other fitness things.”

Ordonez hopes to earn more playing time and thinks the Wolverines can be even better this fall. Her early impressions of the new squad have been positive, and she’s thinking big: Big Ten champs and a Final Four appearance.

“We have a lot of good players, and we had a really good freshmen class come in, which has made it that much more competitive in practice,” she said.

York grad Katie Gallagher had an impressive freshman season for Indiana volleyball.

The setter led the Hoosiers with 679 assists and also contributed 131 digs. She was also the Big Ten Freshman of the Week first week of the season. As a sophomore Gallagher will have a full year of experience and will be the expected starter from the beginning of the season.

Katie Gratzianna heads into her final year with Valparaiso soccer after earning a starting spot on the back line as a junior last fall. The former York standout started every match for a team that won 10 matches, the most the Crusaders had won since 2009. Gratzianna is one of six seniors on the roster.

York grads Khushpal Sangha and Billy Clink ran against each other in the Horizon League last fall. Sangha placed 15th for Loyola and Clink was 20th for Illinois-Chicago in the conference meet. Sangha enters his senior year with the Ramblers while Clink will be a sophomore.

On the women’s side Rebecca Zaiter was 10th in the Horizon League meet for UIC last year as a sophomore for a second team all-conference showing.

After also earning experience at the NCAA Midwest Regional, Zaiter will be looking for more.

After making 498 digs as a junior, Lauren Zerante has a chance to move up the career digs list at Bradley. The 498 digs were the fourth-most in school history. The York grad spent her first two years as a hitter at Bradley, but was a prolific libero last fall. She enters her final year 24th on the career digs list for the Braves and if she matches her 2012 production would move into fifth.
