Kenwood Standout Moves To Higher Heights!
Aug 20, 2009, 5:36 pmAs Kawanna Brooks
closed out her high school and age group career she hoped to do it
as a national champion. As she prepared for her final meet of
the summer season Brooks was primed and ready to give it a
go. While primarily working on her hurdling and 400m
capacity...Brooks wowed the crowds. Brooks managed to squeak
out some good performances in the high jump (5'0"), stay
consistently in the 14's in the hurdles, and jumped near 19' on
every outing. "Yeah...my coach gave me a good regimen of
speed work and 400’s as

Congrats To Matthew Funches!!
Jun 17, 2009, 1:54 pmMatthew Funches was the first Bronco male athlete to make it
to the final day of competition at the IHSA State Finals (in any
sport) since 2002. Matthew rocketed a fine triple jump
performance which placed in him 12th overall in the state.
With this being his first time at the triple jump, Funches looks to
have a bright future ahead of him in this event. Way to
go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Other stellar performances from the state sectional were Keith
Ross in the triple jump (2nd place) and Brock Massie in the high
and triple jumps (2nd

Lady Broncos Go Out With A Bang!!!
May 25, 2009, 12:27 pm
Kawanna Brooks went
out with a bang. The
last two state finals had been virtually disastrous. Brooks over the past two state
finals had come in as one of the favorites in the triple jump and
had subsequently walked away empty handed, having to watch from the
stands as other competitors performed on Saturday of the state
finals, knowing that she should have been a part

May 19, 2009, 1:28 pmWith one of the worse state sectionals on record (in terms of
weather) in the books, the lady Broncos get set for their final
meet (as Kenwood Broncos) of the 2009 campaign. Of course
Kawanna won the long jump, triple jump, and the 100m hurdles but
the day did not afford her good marks. The day started and
ended with a driving rain coupled with 50 degree
temperatures. "It's amazing she was able to come close to 17
feet in the long, 37 feet in the triple, and run 15.5 with
absolutely no competition (2nd place ran 19.6), said Coach
Simon. She will be fine for the

Kenwood Campaign Gains Steam
May 10, 2009, 6:29 pmIn a meet that is
more participatory than highly competitive - the girls team manages
to walk away with a 5th place finish with only three
qualifiers for the finals. While last
year’s 3rd place finish was amazing
with only nine qualifiers, this year’s finish
further cements Kawanna Brook’s and Caja
Calhoun’s star power as they gather up 44 points
all by themselves – with Brooks capturing 38
points.
