Athletes and Parents stayed hours at the Tailgate Party celebrating the Meet, and the Mustangs outstanding season.

 The Northside Varsity Men have an incredible 55-19 season record. Since the first meet of the season, the Northside Mustangs have posted a record of 53-11! This is the BEST Track & Field TEAM in the history of Northside College Prep! The Mustangs final meet before the Chicago Public League Championships will be at the Spartan Relays, which will take place on Friday, April 29, 2011. The Spartan Relays is the final opportunity to improve "seed" marks for Jumping and Throwing Events, and the 4x800m, 4x100m, 4x200m, and 4x400m Relays before the Chicago Public League Championships.

 Northside will have some "new" additions for the Spartan Relays, including Northside Junior Derek Lin. Lin is one of the mustangs top jumpers and hurdlers, and has battled back against all odds after being hit by a car last winter. Lin will be in the Long Jump Relay and Triple Jump Relay at Spartan Relays. It will be a special moment when he makes his first jump of the season! 

 This season, only one Chicago Public League Team (Simeon) has posted a victory against the Mustangs. Northside is looking forward to the friendly rematch at the Outdoor Chicago Public League Championships on May 3, 2011 (Prelims) and May 7, 2011 (Finals) at Hanson Stadium.
