Senior girls track and field standout Aaliyah Brown the headliner in Lincoln-Way East's recruiting class.
The first time Lincoln-Way East girls track and field coach Caroline Gerritsen met Aaliyah Brown's father she was set back on her heels by his line of questioning. Angelo Brown wanted to know if the Griffins ran in any national track meets. Gerritsen soon learned she was in for the ride of her life when Aaliyah joined the program at Lincoln-Way East. Four years later, Brown is the reigning Gatorade Illinois Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year.

Lincoln-Way East 10, Lincoln-Way Central 8: Kevin Duffin had four hits, including a two-run homer, and drove in four runs as the Griffins rallied to defeat the Knights Thursday in a semifinal game at the Class 4A Providence Regional.
Touching All the Bases: Just when it looked like Lincoln-Way East was on the verge of falling victim to a surprise small-ball attack by rival Lincoln-Way Central, the Griffins’ offense exploded in a 10-8 victory over the Knights Thursday in semifinal play at the Class 4A Providence Regional. Kevin Duffin turned momentum—and the game—around with one swing of the bat in the bottom of the third. After Central built a 6-1 lead, he belted a two-run homer. Duffin went on to bang out four hits and headed an 11-hit attack for the Griffins. He also drove in four runs as East scored nine runs in its last four at-bats. Tommy Fuessel added two hits, including a two-run single that was the highlight of a five-run fourth-inning uprising for the Griffins…

If Griffin fans had any concerns about the team's quarterback position with Blake Winkler graduating, those worries should be allayed thanks to his replacement's performance at a recent high school combine. Lincoln-Way East High School junior Tommy Fuessel impressed college scouts at the 2012 Nike Football SPARQ Combine on April 7 in Lake Barrington by running a combine-best 4.46 40-yard-dash and ranking in the top five at the event, according to the ESPN HS website. ESPN HS writer Brian Stumpf named Fuessel an honorable mention performer and wrote: Fuessel doesn't have a lot of tape playing quarterback, as he was behind a senior starter last fall, but his athletic ability alone should lead to some interest (from colleges) under center or …
