Our high school representative, Sam Schmakel of Whitney Young, also did Illinois proud. The final crosstable is here, and Chess Life Online has a nice feature on the winners of the Denker and the Barber.
Sam has a perfect score in the early rounds of the U.S. Open (six-day schedule), and will be playing "behind the ropes" against GM Alexander Shabalov. You should be able to follow the action at monroi.com: action begins at noon Pacific, 2 p.m. Chicago time.
Both Sam and Sean Vibbert of Indiana (who also had a great event) came out swinging in the following game from Round 5. As often happens in Golden Gloves, they neutralized each other without doing damage.
