Who Is the Greatest Athlete

Quinn Urweiler/Batavia - pound for pound 2 way player, long snapper and extra point blocker is the best high school player I've seen.. Whether he had the ball or was on D he loved making your acquaintance..
Not sure there are any great pro athletes in Chicago at the moment..
AJ Epenesa - All American in football and track, all-state in hoops.
Tim Anderson was another good choiceI knew a White Sox fan would jump on that comment..
Marcellus Moore broke the state’s 100 meter record as a sophomore. Being the GOAT sprinter in state history has to rank pretty high on the athletic scale
Hawthorne... Appleton.... Thomas..... Burden

You don't have to persuade me for the Dergo vote. Played LB too right?
Greatest I saw in person was SHG and future Denver TE Albert Okweugbunam. In high school, he was about 6’5” and 225 and usually the fastest guy on the field. Took a short sideline pass against Rochester for 80 yards by destroying the first tackler then running away from everyone else.
Greatest I saw tv only was Montini WR Jordan Westerkamp, who had 9 td’s in 3 state title victories, 5 in the shootout with Joliet Catholic in 2011. Made one big play after another.

LaQuan Treadwell was a baaaaad man on the football field and hoops court
