Northbrook Woman's High School Record Restored

A Northbrook woman is once again the all-time girls basketball scoring leader at a south suburban high school.

The Southtown Star reports a decision by Oak Lawn Community High School District 229 Superintendent Michael Riordan this week rescinded an earlier decision to replace current Northbrook resident Kathy Levin’s name on the all-time scoring list with LaTondra Brooks - who did score more high school points than Levin (Kathy Krzak when she played at Oak Lawn), but many of which came her freshman year when she attended an out-of-state school near St. Louis.

Levin played at OLCHS in the 1990s. Brooks is now a player at Western Michigan University.

A campaign initiated about a year ago by Drew Levin, Kathy’s husband, to have his wife’s name restored.

An email from Riordan to Levin said the school has now “established clear administrative procedures” regarding how athletic records will be maintained, and that they will “only reflect achievements earned at the varsity level of Oak Lawn Community High School.”

Levin’s record may last for less than a week, however, as another Oak Lawn star is expected to top her point total when the Spartans host Shepard on Thursday.
