Westmont junior Kyla Babb, who took third place in the Class 1A race at the First to the Finish Invitational in Peoria in a personal-best time of 17 minutes, 29.3 seconds over 3 miles, is the Suburban Life Athlete of the Week in an online vote. Here is her Q&A with Joshua Welge.

Hosts Steve Soucie and Josh Welge preview Week 4 in IHSA football on the latest Friday Night Drive podcast
While St. Francis players and coaches were happy to move to 3-0 after a win over Loyola on Friday, the program knew the importance winning on the road against the Ramblers. Plus more CCL/ESCC notes on St. Rita, St. Viator, Mount Carmel and Nazareth.
York junior Henry Duda said he was shocked to learn he was the starting running back for the opener, but he's making quite an impact through three games. That, Owen Lansu and Downers Grove North's offense just scratching the surface and more in Bob Narang's football notes.
Glenbard South junior offensive lineman Josh Schwendeman showed tremendous upside during the spring. Then he tore his ACL in May. But he hasn't let that injury get in the way of his college dream, documenting his recovery as he continues his recruitment.
Benet volleyball beat St. Viator to stay unbeaten, and Glenbard South, Timothy Christian, Wheaton North and Willowbrook volleyball were also winners Tuesday.
