 In the Varsity 55m Hurdles, Northside Junior Justin Washington finished in sixth place overall to earn All City Honors, and complete the scoring with an outstanding time of 8.68.

 In the Varsity 1600m run, Taft Senior Abraham Tobias won it with an official time of 4:35.66. Northside Senior Malcolm Grba ran 200m splits of 34, 35 (69 400m), 36 (1:45 600m), 35 (2:20 800m), 33 (2:53 1000m), 35 (3:28 1200m), 35 (4:03 1400m), and then ran the final 200m in a NEGATIVE split of 34 seconds to finish in SECOND place with an outstanding time of 4:37.79. Malcolm Grba was awarded a MEDAL for finishing in second place overall. Whitney Young Junior Charles Sandberg earned a Medal by finishing in third place overall with an outstanding time of 4:50.95.

 Grba also played three positions (Pitcher, Centerfield, Leftfield) in a double-header against Niles North for the Northside Varsity Baseball Team the day before the Indoor City Championships on Saturday, March 21, 2015.

 Malcolm Grba striked out four batters in two innings of work on the pitching mound. He also had a good day in the batters box. He broke up a no-hitter with a single in the first game of the double-header, and then immediately stole second base like a true track and field athlete.

 In the second game, Grba helped Northside get their first win of the year in baseball, by hitting a line drive to right field for a double, and then scoring the go-ahead run.

 In the Varsity 400m Dash, Northside Senior Tom Frejowski finished second in his heat, and fourth overall with an official time of 55.04
