Let's talk Ohio HS XC

Weston Day is really going to fall off next year just watch. Mr. Schlabig isn't giving him 100 mile weeks like I'm running. I can already smell his fitness dwindling.

I would be surprised if any team other than Mason or Mas. Jackson gets in the top 2 next year

Doubt the St. Xavier Bombers at your own peril.

did you see gabelman 15:02

Connor Ackley 18th at NXN

super early top 5-10 XC boys AND girls for next season with those returning next year? D1

Boys D1:

1. Richutti

2. Smith

3. Gableman

4. Trapp

5. Bork

Girls:

1) Efa Paschka

2) Sarah Peer

3) Evelyn Prodoehl

4) Ava Beeks

5) Caroline Murman

Boys:

1) Sam Riccihiuti

2) Ben Gabelman

3) Luka Bork

4) Connor Reed

5) Ryan Smith

Honestly, Cernansky is better than all of them but if it's only DI this is what we got. A lot of people have been sleeping on Luka Bork, but he seems to be on the come up every season and wouldn't be surprised if he takes the whole thing in a tactical race. Overall, the state looks down next year at the DI level, but new people could rise.

I agree with this list..I like Richutti and Gableman a lot..I can see Trapp up there too. Girls I think that is interesting with Efa ahead of Peer but I do not think it is unreasonable..she had an outstanding freshman season. Beeks will rise too. What about top 5-10 teams each gender..and does Mason repeat both genders?

You have to go with:

Girls:

1) Westlake (Missing a top 2 runner all year)

2) Mason

3) Perrysburg

4) Hilliard Davidson

5) Dublin Jerome

Seems like a lot of the same teams are in it year after year. Also don't be surprised if Creek comes out of nowhere. Seems like Abby Roberts has led the team back to a podium level threat. Look out for the top teams to make a trip to NXN.

Boys:

1) Mason (A lot of people think Massillon Jackson, but they just can't get it done)

2) Massillon Jackson

3) St. Xavier

4) Worthington Kilbourne

5) Chardon

Seems like a down year on the team side for the boys.

Boys:

1. Sam Ricchiuti

2. Ben Gabelman

3. Evan Trapp

4. Luka Bork

5. Connor Reed

6. Billy Dennison

7. Weston Day

8. David D'Altorio

9. Elliot Zuckett

10. Landon Kimmel

Some others that can be top 10: Blake Baker, Dylan Wood, Connor Long, Noah Williams. Exciting!

Girls:

1. Sarah Peer

2. Efa Pascha

3. Evelyn Prodoehl

4. Ava Beeks

5. Caroline Murnan

6. Daniela Scheffler

7. Selah White

8. Milly Leonard

9. Kaitlyn Reese

10. Brianna Chaves

(But a few that could definitely be top 10: Helen Randolph, Abby Roberts, Natalie Sanders)..The top 10 next year will be good!!

You think Cernansky is better than ALL of those guys? At NXR, he raced some of those guys and got smoked.

Cernansky... 58th

Behind... Gabelman (11th), Richuitti (14th), Kimmell (30th), Day (43), and just ahead of Sebaugh (59th).

Smith has a lot of talent, but crumbles and DNFs frequently in big races. I doubt you'll see him get 2nd.

Where'd he finish at state XC this year? Hmm. Last year in track? Hmm.

Where did you finish? Hmm

You’re more than like a little punk ass loser that couldn’t crack a 10 minute mile…Hmm

You're right I'm not fast. I actually was in the JV race at Eisenhart when Smith dropped out because he couldn't keep up with Tommy Rice. I'm not hating on him. I'm just saying he probably won't get 2nd if he keeps dropping out when their is a lot of competetion. Same thing happened at the state meet and last year district in track when one of the Lanoys and Isaac Frank passed him with 150 to go. Dropped out both times.

Ever heard of a bad race? I wouldn't talk down on one of the most decorated runners in Ohio history

He's not even the most decorated this year (Rice, Ackley). Much less in Ohio history.

Just in the past 4-5years....

C'mon. Cernansky is so far away from these guys it's ridiculous.

You talk about and bag on a lot of guys. Perhaps you should get back to worrying about yourself and trying to improve your own game. Also, if you’re going to talk up some of the Ohio greats from the past, learn to speed their names correctly.

Now, put down the phone and pay attention in class!
