 On Monday, February 1, 2010, the Northside Track & Field Team will issue "new" uniforms for the 2010 Track & Field season. Uniforms will only be given to athletes that have turned in a (1) Physical, (2) Players Record Card, (3) Code of Conduct Form, and (4) Steriod Testing Consent Form. ALL uniforms will be collected after the final event at the State meet in May 2010, so the team will have the uniforms for years to come.

 A special thanks to Northside Athletic Director Andrew Mayer and Principal Barry Rodgers for their special assistance in getting the Team new uniforms, to help meet the demands of an expanding roster.

 On Friday, January 22, 2010, an army of athletes filled the main entrance of Northside College Prep, the northside cafeteria, and hallways, waiting for departure to North Park University for the 5th Annual King of the Quarter. A special thanks to North Park University Head Track Coach Skip Stolley and staff, for hosting this great event.   

 Every member of the Northside Track & Field Team, regardless if they were thrower, distance runner, sprinter, jumper or hurdler, would race in one of seventy heats of the 400m Dash. Although the event was just a time trial, the crowd was so large at Alford Indoor Track at North Park University, that spectators had to stand in the balcony of the stadium to see the 400m time trial.

 Despite the size of the crowd, you could hear a pin drop, when it was announced Sophomore Mac Melto or Freshman phenom Nathaniel Agharese would be in an upcoming heat.

 Prior to Friday night, the fastest Northside time ever recorded at King of the Quarter was a 57.50. That changed dramatically on Friday night.

 A year ago, Mac Melto ran a 60.22 as a Freshman at King of the Quarter. On Friday, January 22, 2010, Sophomore Mac Melto dropped six seconds from a year ago, and ran the fastest time ever by a Northside athlete at King of the Quarter with an outstanding time of 54.78 to win the 2010 King of the Quarter.

 Freshman King of the Quarter: Nathaniel Agharese

 Sophomore King of the Quarter: Mac Melto

 Junior King of the Quarter: Dominic Sieminski

 Senior King of the Quarter: Cooper Eben
