Lake Forest High School’s Nina Nissly swims in first athletes with disability competition and becomes Illinois’s first triple individual champion.
Three week ago Lake Forest High School senior Nina Nissly was a member of the Scout junior varsity swim team getting ready for the North Suburban Conference Meet as she had during all four years of her career.

Scouts swimmer must choose making research presentation over attending her final State meet.
After participating in the State swim meet for Lake Forest High School a year ago, Lilly Wang expected to return to the finals next weekend with her teammates for a run at a top-five team finish.

Scouts begin season's big three: Conference, Sectional and State meets.
Olivia Campbell has been a team player for Lake Forest High School's girls’ swimming team throughout her career. But she may be ready for her close-up, Mr. DeMille. This year, Campbell is favored to win a pair of gold medals as the Scouts head into the North Suburban Conference (NSC) meet at 1 p.m. Saturday at Vernon Hills High School. “I have always put her where we needed her,” Lake Forest Coach Carolyn Grevers said. “This year she had goals to go to state in the 200 IM (individual medley) and 100 fly (butterfly), but she did not have one of the two best times so she’s swimming the 500 free (freestyle) in Sectionals.” Campbell, who is seeded first in the league in the 200-yard individual medley, is also eager to produce points for the…
