Grade-school students from three Lombard private schools took part in a new cross-country event on Oct. 3. Runners from St. Pius X School, Sacred Heart School and St. John’s Lutheran School participated in the inaugural Lilac Village Invitational at Lombard Common. The event featured boys and girls races in each grade level from 5 to 8. The photo shows the top two finishers from the 2-mile eighth-grade girls race. Molly B.
