Mid-Suburban league rivals Buffalo Grove and Hoffman Estates also finished 5-2 in 22nd and 26th place. The biggest surprise for the MSL was Rolling Meadows which managed to go 4-3 to finish 32nd place despite being seeded 96th after a disappointing regular season. Joining Meadows at 4-3 Fremd in 30th, Palatine in 52nd, and Barrington in 59th. Elk Grove and Conant finished 3-4 and Schaumburg finished 2.5-4.5.
Prospect's top scorers were 5th Board Mike Monsen and 6th Board Ekrem Genc who went 5.5-1.5. Happily, Both players are freshman. Junior Caleb Royse went 5-2 with 3 wins and 4 draws on 3rd Board and Sophomore Robert Moskwa finished at 4.5-2.5 on 1st Board with his only losses coming to 2304 rated FIDE master Gauri Manoj of Glenbrook South and 1905 rated Chengliang Luo of Northside Prep in Chicago.
