The student athletes and coaches will attend the event in Springfield on Thursday, November 20. They will meet with Rep. Bellock, tour the State Capitol before the House convenes and then attend the adoption of all the House Resolutions in the chamber of the Illinois House of Representatives. The group is also planning to visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum before returning to Hinsdale later that evening.
