Good morning, Aurora.

ABC7 Chicago started a special called 'Our Chicago: 600,000 Strong' for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month that streams now—reporters traveled to Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs, including Aurora's Pacifica Square Mall, to show how these communities renew local areas. They visited Chinatown, Little Vietnam, and Devon Avenue to explain how culture and local business are changing.

St. Charles North won the Kane County Meet with 132.5 points after Julia Rodney returned from a walking boot injury to win the 4x800 relay and the 1,600 race.

Coach Anthony Enright said the team's strong effort — including wins by sophomore Alexzandria Richardson and senior Tosin Oshin — helped secure a commanding victory over Batavia, which finished second with 94.5 points.
