At Night of Champions on Wednesday, June 20 from 7-8:30 p.m., at the Lund Auditorium on the Dominican University campus in River Forest, the Riverside-Brookfield Landmark All-Stars will represent more star power than the ESPY’s or the courtside crowds at Staples Center and Madison Square Garden.
Over 80 of the best student-athletes from RBHS, LTHS and Nazareth are invited to attend the annual sports awards party. We’re talking about state champions, record-breakers, scoring leaders, defensive stoppers and a plethora of current All-Conference performers and future college athletes.
The Landmark All-Stars will be recognized on a posterboard in the foyer of Lund Auditorium and also during the show with a round of applause.
Aside from honoring the All-Stars, elite category award winners like Danny Kilrea (LTHS cross country/track & field 2-time state champion, senior year), Annie Stritzel (Nazareth guard), as well the Nazareth baseball team, Nazareth girls basketball team and Lyons Township boys swimming team will be celebrated as the Best of the best. RBHS girls water polo coach Todd Fridrych is another worthy honoree as Coach of the Year.
