Finally, one of my autistic daughter’s fixations has morphed into something constructive.
High on the list of autistic traits are “narrow interests,” which can range from the fairly benign, like a nerdlinger obsession with American presidents and dinosaurs, to the mildly annoying, like Thomas the Tank Engine, to the more, shall we say, impactful, like dismantling toilets. There is virtually no obsession too esoteric that it cannot be indulged today via the Internet, specifically sites like YouTube. We have many little friends that are into elevators, and you would be amazed at how many videos can be found of random people riding elevators … and helpfully telling you details about them. Suffice to say that if I ever find myself at the Tanglewood Mall in Roanoke, VA, I will never have to wonder if their JC Penney has a Dover …

Taylor Southworth in action for the Lions during Friday's preliminaries; Cozza performs well Saturday.
The uneven parallel bars have not been very good to Carolyn Cozza and the rest of the Lyons Township girls gymnastics team. As for Cozza's vault and floor exercise, that's a completely different story. A handful of stumbles and falls on the bars during the Hinsdale Central sectional kept the Lions from advancing to the state finals for the fifth straight year. The Lions were the runner-up to Carmel last season and Carmel won once again this year with a 149.450. While the disappointment of failing to qualify for state lingered with the team, Cozza and Taylor Southworth had to quickly put the team behind them and turn their focus to individual success since both advanced to Palatine for last week's IHSA State Finals. Cozza posted the fourth …

Red Devils fall to Glenbard West in Saturday's conference meet but still win conference; Lyons Township takes third place.
The Hinsdale Central girls gymnastics team went undefeated during the regular season of the West Suburban Conference Silver this winter, but the Red Devils knew Saturday's conference meet would be highly contested against Lyons Township and Glenbard West. The Hilltoppers edged Hinsdale Central, 144.625 to 144.450 to win Saturday's meet, but the Red Devils still were awarded the conference title based on a combination of regular season results and Saturday's meet. "It's a huge deal to win this, and one of our goals going into this season was to win conference," Hinsdale Central's Erin Usher said. "We were the only team to go undefeated this year so that felt good, and to also come away as conference champions feels very good." Usher …

Lyons Township graduate and Western Springs resident, Kathryn Mahoney, was injured while practicing for the Michigan State gymnastics team.
Kathryn Mahoney, a Lyons Township High School graduate and Western Springs resident, is paralyzed from the neck down following a horrific fall on vault in December, Dr. Larry Nassar, team doctor for the Michigan State gymnastics team, confirmed with Patch on Thursday. “I expect her to be able to live an independent life, regardless if she gains her legs or not," Nassar said. Mahoney has had some, not full, feeling in her upper extremities, Nassar said. He said it is his belief that she will eventually recover use of her upper extremities and that those close to her are hopeful that she will continue to make progress. Mahoney, who Michigan State coach Kathie Klages had anticipated to be the team’s top all-arounder this season, is now …

Kathryn Mahoney, a Lyons Township graduate, Western Springs resident, and standout on the Michigan State gymnastics team, sustained the injury while preparing for her senior season.

Maren Craig takes third place in the all-around with a 33.725 to pace the Lions.
Last year Lyons Township almost ended Fremd's ridiculously long consecutive titles streak in the Mike Williams Big Purple Invite at Downers Grove North. Almost is the key word as the Vikings did what they needed to do on beam and held off the Lions. On Saturday, Fremd edged Libertyville, 103.750 to 103.00 while Lyons Township took third with a 101.425 as Fremd claimed its 18th straight title, a streak that started the same year that Pearl Jam jumped on the music scene with "Ten." None of the Lions gymnasts came close to scoring a Perfect 10, but the team came away satisfied with some of the things they were able to accomplish. "I don't have a blanket statement of what we wanted to do today because it was different for each girl," Lyons …
