Streaks Alumni Profile Vicki (Wardell) Legge 1990
Today’s Streaks Alumni Profile features Vicki (Wardell) Legge from the GHS class of 1990.
Vicki was active as an athlete at Lombard and at GHS. She has always had an enthusiasm for the Silver Streaks- first as a student and now as an adult.
For me it was special having coached Vicki in girls basketball, and then being able to coach her daughter, Kelsi. After playing, Kelsi became an assistant in Streaks basketball so Vicki has been an enthusiastic supporter of Streaks basketball for decades.
Vicki played an important role in getting Lombard’s Gym named in honor of Phil Erickson. Her leadership was very impressive!!

Eric had an excellent career as a multi-sport athlete for the Streaks. He was a guard, who seemed to be able to often make the big play on the Streaks Elite 8 basketball team.
