As a 13-team contingent converged on the campus of Lake Zurich High School for Friday's Bears boys track and field invite, they along with the meet's host would have to successfully work through difficult weather conditions.

They saw temperatures go from the low 60s with a nearly 20 mile per hour westerly wind to an almost 20 degree temperature drop by evening's end into the mid-forties.

"I've got to give a lot of credit to my kids," Broncos coach Todd Kuklinski said."They're a little tired. cold, windy. You never know what's going to happen. really proud of our kids. They're awesome and they did a great job." Plus, it earned wins by seniors Luke Hall in the 400 meter dash and Andre Van Vuren in the 800 meters. Sophomore Justin Hurtado brought home the final win for the Broncos in the 3,200."All my competitors and I were in the same boat," Van Vuren said."Using that wind to my advantage with the other side of the track with 300 to go, I knew it was at my back so that I used it then and felt pretty powerful in the home stretch.
