ICYMI: Tinley Park Teens Recognized By Village Officials

TINLEY PARK, IL — Two local students were honored by the Tinley Park Village Board on Tuesday, as the board works to recognize youth achievements.

One Tinley Park student, Solomon Wilson-Smith, was recognized by the board for winning the 2A Illinois State Championship 110-meter high hurdles in May with a time of 13.98 seconds, the village posted on its Facebook page.

Wilson-Smith is repeatedly the champion, including four times in the conference and four times in the sectional. He's got three state qualifications and has four all-state athlete recognitions under his belt. He also placed third twice in the Illinois Prep Top Times indoor meet.

The board also recognized David Sedivy who earned his Eagle Scout rank with the Frankfort Square Boy Scout Troop 237. For his Eagle Project, Sedivy designed, built and installed a live display at Kids Works Children’s Museum in Frankfort, the village said.

The project took Sedivy nine months. In it he features fruit, vegetables and flowers for kids to learn about the origin of food.
