YEAR in REVIEW by Randy Whalen 2020 History Will Never Forget The YEAR IN REVIEW By Randy Whalen 2020 History will never forget the year. Either will the athletes and teams at Lockport Township The start of the year brought another State Championship to the school. The fall brought the untimely death of beloved coach, Joe Lewandowski. In between brought a calendar year with a pandemic that ravaged the world and caused the outright cancellations of many a high school sport. This was 2020. "Since early March, I have been extremely proud, yet heartbroken for our Porter Athletic Family," Lockport Township athletic director Mike Dwyer said. "Our student-athletes and coaches have been tremendous in supporting each other and remaining positive during the past 10 months. My heart goes out to the Seniors of 2020 and the other athletes who missed the spring season of 2020. "But the silver lining has been a stronger focus on fundamentals and the renewed passion for our programs and athletes I have seen. The work continues, whether in small groups, remotely, or individually, our Porter coaches and student-athletes work hard to stay connected and ready when the seasons can begin again." It was almost appropriate that it was a Friday the 13th in March that the Illinois High School Association halted high school sports for the rest of the winter season. It was initially going to be a 2-week hiatus into the spring. But as we know, the COVID-19 outbreak had other plans and the spring sports were canceled as well. Lockport was hosting a Class 4A Boys Basketball Sectional, which never got to finish with a March 13 championship game matchup between East Aurora and Joliet West. At the start of the calendar year of 2021, winter sports are currently on hold. But last year all the Porter winter sports were able to finish before the coronavirus shut down the season. The top winter athletic highlight was obviously the girls bowling State Championship. Lockport won by nearly 400 pins on Saturday, Feb. 22 at The Cherry Bowl in Rockford. The Porters pummeled 12,353 pins over the weekend to topple second place Harlem (11,955) by 398 pins. Lockport's local rival, Minooka (11,857), was third for the second straight season. The margin of victory was the fifth-highest in the 48-year history of the girls bowling state tournament, and the 12,353 pin-fall total was the 10th most in state history. As usual, the entire team stopped up too. The Porters had their starting five bowl the entire time. They all finished 21st or better, which is incredible. Two of them, senior Samantha Traina (4th, 2,559, highs of 279 in the first game of Day. No. 2, and 241 in the opening game on Day. No. 1) and sophomore Isa Colon (11th, 2,490, highs of 269 in both Game No. 3 and Game No. 4 on the second day, and 250 in Game No. 3 on Day No. 1) made the Top 12 for All-State medalist honors. Payton Vanenburg (15th, 2,454, highs of 245 and 246 in the first two games of day two and a high of 234 in Game No. 5 on Day No. 1), fellow junior Chloe Siezega (19th, 2,428, high of 256 in the last game of Day. No. 1, and a high of 226 in the final game of the second day), and senior Jessica Ramirez (21st, 2,422, high of 256 in Game No. 5 on Day. No. 2, and a high of 203 in the last game of the first day) rounded out the scoring. All three of them, along with Colon, also had older siblings bowl at Lockport. It was the fifth state championship (1994, 1999, 2009, 2015) in the sport for the Porters, which is second most to Harlem (7). It is also their eighth state trophy, which ties Rich Central for second place in that department behind Halem, which now has 11, including the last two-second place finishes. It's the first state trophy for Lockport since finishing second to Harlem by 38 pins in 2017. The Porter's previous state championship was in 2015 when they set the state tournament pin-fall record of 12,689, and their five titles in the sport are easily the most in school history as no other program has more than two. The state championship is the 19th IHSA one, and 11th in girls athletics, in Lockport Township High School history and the first since the wrestling team won in 2017. "Coach Lynda (Siezega) kept the girls under control and did all the things with their equipment," Lockport girls bowling coach Art Cwudzinski said at that time.. "Then the girls went out and did it. All of these are special and I'm so happy for these kids." He didn't know it at that time, but after 20 seasons as head coach, with a trio of State Titles, Cwudzinski stepped down as coach. Siezega, a longtime assistant and former bowler in the program, took over as head coach. But as of the end of the year, the bowling seasons have not restarted. That obviously meant that the boy's team hasn't restarted a new season. The Porters finished last year, however, with another State Finals appearance. That was on Friday, Jan. 31, and Saturday, Feb. 1 at St. Clair Bowl in O'Fallon. There Lockport placed 10th as 12 teams make it to the final day. St. Charles East (12,836 pinfall total) rallied with a final day total of 6,533 which included a 1,279 fifth game to rally to win its first bowling state title. Only two Porters bowled all 12 games at state They were freshman Jason Laba (22nd overall, 2,577, high of 274 in Game No. 2 on Day No. 2) and junior Jimmy Kontos (34th overall, high of 268 in Game No.1 on Day No. 1). The only two Lockport seniors, Tim Hoak, who bowled in 11 games, and Ray Bufka, who bowled in 10 games, followed on the scoresheet. Hoak had a 2,103 total with a high of 246 in the opening game of the tournament. Bufka bowled a 2,032 total and also had his high game, a 236 in the first game of the first day. In the 16 seasons that the IHSA has had the boys bowling state tournament, this is the 12th trip for Lockport, which placed 11th in 2019, and seventh in the past eight years. It was the 10th Top 10 finish for the Porters, which ranks them second in that state category behind Harlem (11). Lockport also won the SouthWest Suburban Conference championship and were regional champions. Another state trophy was brought home by the competitive cheerleading team. The Porters accomplished it with a third-place finish in the Co-ed Division of the IHSA State Cheerleading Finals, which were held on Friday, Feb. 7, and Saturday, Feb. 8 at Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington. The third-place finish meant Lockport extended its school record for most state trophies to nine. It's the second third-place finish in the past three years for the Porters in the Co-ed Division. Their other seven trophies came in the Large School class, including a pair of state titles (2007, 2008), four seconds place finishes (2006, 2010, 2012, 2015), and a third (2009). This was the 15th season of the official IHSA tournament and Lockport's total of nine trophies is second only to nearby Lemont (12 in the Medium School Division). The Porter performance was very difficult, and that paid dividends for them as they had a stumble near the end of the routine. But still overcame that for the third-place finish. "Oh my gosh," said a very happy Lockport coach Jenny Krumlinde at that time. "We didn't have a perfect routine, so I didn't know what to expect. But the degree of difficulty helped us out. You just have to weigh the risk vs. the reward. "It's our third year in the co-ed division and the competition keeps getting better and better every year." Kennedy Aubry, Nicole Donnelly, Priscilla Preciado, Carleigh Pych, Alyssa Stevenson, Gia Stramaglia, and Halle Sweis were the seniors on the team. Wresting has also been an extremely successful sport at Lockport and this past February was no exception. The Porters went 20-1 on the season. But unfortunately, they got the wrong end of the draw in their state quarterfinal matchup last weekend. Their opponent was Montini and the result wasn't pretty as the Broncos bounced the Porters out of the dual team tournament with a 59-9 win on Saturday morning, Feb. 29 at Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington. Think the 59-9 score was lopsided? All Montini did after that was defeat eventual third-place team, Barrington 70-4 that afternoon in the semifinals. The Broncos then dismantled a powerful Mount Carmel team 37-9 in the state title bout that night. The state championship was the third straight, 11th in 13 seasons, and 16th overall since 2000 for Montini (24-0). The past three of those have all been in Class 3A, and although many of the other ones were in Class 2A, there's no doubt the Broncos have cemented their place in history as one of the best-ever wrestling programs. One of the few times that Montini (24-0) which won its 11th State Championship in 13 seasons and 16th overall since 2000, did not win a title in the last two decades was 2017, There the Broncos finished second to the Porters, who won that title match 33-20.

The report gives a background of the school district, describes the 45-15 plan in detail, analyzes its effects on school and community, and chronologically summarizes significant events that followed implementation of the plan. The plan, developed mostly by professional educators from the district, was developed out of economic necessity and not primarily as an experiment. Under the plan, students in the district spend 45 school days in school and 15 school days out of school in each of four cycles. In order to have the school in continuous operation, only one fourth of the students are on vacation at any one time. Hence, the students are placed in four groups staggered by 15-day periods.
