The athletes listed above have earned a Varsity letter by scoring a Varsity point in a Track meet.  

 On Tuesday, May 17, 2016, Northside Head Coach Jon Gordon, and Senior Brendan Powers traveled to Whitney Young High School for the IHSA Sectional Pole Vault Competition. There was two surprise vaulters entered in the competition from North Lawndale.

 Brendan Powers showed great mental toughness and determination, and WON the Pole Vault Competition to QUALIFY for the IHSA State Track & Field Championships! Powers is the first northside athlete since 2013 to qualify for STATE in Pole Vault.

 Northside does not have a Pole Vault Pit, and only has ONE 160 lbs Pole. Powers weighed less than 150 lbs when the season began in January 2016. Brendan Powers increased his body weight to 154 lbs to fit the pole, by putting on more muscle in the weight room. He trained himself this season, and did an incredible job to WIN the IHSA Sectional title!!

 Powers will vault in Charleston, Illinois on Friday, March 27, 2016 at the STATE Championships. Northside has started the IHSA Sectional Championship meet with 10 points, thanks to the tremendous efforts of Senior Brendan Powers.

 The remaining events in the IHSA North Lawndale Sectional will take place at Hanson Stadium on Wednesday, May 18, 2016. 

 On Saturday, May 7, 2016, the Northside Varsity Men and Sophomore Boys traveled to Hanson Stadium in Chicago, Illinois for the Chicago Public League Outdoor Championships.

 The Chicago Public League Championships is the largest conference meet in the Nation. A record 70 high schools competed in CPS Varsity Prelims and/or CPS Varsity Finals. 

 A year ago (2015), Northside finished in 11th place with 17.50 points.

 In 2016, the Chicago Northside Mustangs had one of their best TEAM performances in the history of the program.

 The Northside Varsity Men finished in fourth place with 46 points. The Northside Varsity scored a total of 46 points in the 4x800m Relay, 3200m run, 110m Hurdles, 4x200m Relay, 300m Hurdles, 1600m, and the 200m Dash.
