Dub Jerome has a solid 1&2. Their 3-6 pack is really close, which really helps them. If Kilbourne had a 5th man finish right behind Knuth, they would have tied Orange, and Kilbourne would have won the 6th man tiebreaker.
It definitely seems like conditions improved for boys d1 races 2 and 3 as there seemed to be relatively fewer PRs in the first race. Either way, amazing racing the whole day.
Finish Timing really sucks. Hate it when have the meet.
FinishTiming was the gold standard until they started working with MileSplit. This year especially has been terrible. I really hope we aren’t sitting around waiting for results at Regionals and State. No excuse to not have live results starting next week.
Yeah, FinishTIming used to be great. The results were reliable and timely. In some events there would even be in-race splits.
As you say, this year has been really bad. What is most annoying is sometimes not even knowing the results until later in the day. The navigation is not as easy, either. The old format on the MileSplit website was so seamless and reliable. I am hoping that they get back to how it was before.
I am wondering if the company was sold and now has different personnel.

It was not sold and it's the same guys who work hard and love the sport. I think that they are just trying to figure out the new software system. I'd be curious to know what the new software upgrade is/was supposed to do vs the old stuff that seemed pretty reliable.
I'd rather see the live team scores as they are changing than wait till the conclusion of the competition but I know that there are others who would disagree. I remember walking to the finish area watching our team bounce back and forth between spots. It was gut wrenching but also fun at the same time.
Jerome - 66 Orange - 68 Kilbourne - 72. Not missing any of their top 4. I think they need to close the 4-5 gap to make state
Incredible race between teams and individuals in the 3rd section.
It’s pretty much a toss up between WN, Lancaster, Coffman, Jerome, Orange, and Kilbourne.
I wouldn’t be surprised if any of those teams win.

I notice you didn't include Scioto in your little list there. BIG mistake. Also Weston Day was within 2 to 5 seconds of both Ryan Smith and Sam Ricchiuti. I told everyone he is ELITE. He's right in the mix for runner up individually.
MileSplits official results list for the 2023 OHSAA Division 1 District - Lorain County Community College, hosted by Ohio High School Athletic Association in Elyria OH.
Peer from Westlake did not race, Avon had 6 runners as it seemed like one of their top 5 runners was DNF, Heine from Medina did not race, Strongville with a solid race. At Boardman they will join Shaker Heights, Glen Oak, Wadsworth, St Joe's, and Chardon. It will be a battle for Obetz as 8 make it and these Region loaded with Stat ranked teams (11!)
River with a great win, Steele edging out Medina by 1 with Bowlsby and Perez with a strong finish, Avon with a surprise 5th, Revere a little back. They will be at Boardman joining Jackson, Hudson, Chardon, Hoover, Mentor, New Philadelphia, Perry, St Iggy and Boardman. 7 Teams make it to Obetz and I feel like the last 3 spots will be very close with a few teams looking from the outside by a hair. Jackson should win relatively comfortable with River, Steele, and Medina

Why do they get 7 teams and Pickerington only gets 5?? I'd bet the 6th place team (non-qualifying) there could win the Boardman regional.
We knew Davidson would have a down year as they lost their entire Varsity and are in such a stacked field. I think they will come back very strong next year as they get a new freshmen in Ryan Kaulen who recently ran 10:53 2 mile in cross this season.
It's ignorant to think that the 6th best Columbus team would be Jackson. I do believe that the 6th best Columbus team would have a decent chance of finishing as high as 2nd at Boardman, though.

You're right. Aside from Jackson, obv. I was looking at the list of regional qualifiers in the previous post, think about 7 v 5 (which still puzzles me!), and forgot aout Jackson. They're one if a handful that could win at Obetz.

Thanks Mr. Kaulen! Thomas Worthington has a 7th grader who ran 10:07, and 5 under 11:20. But middle school times don't always translate to hs success. Plus, I think you need five guys. And your son's 10:53 probably only means 17:00 next year.

I hope that you’re not solely basing that on times. Also, when looking at regional results, don’t assume that you can predict where the teams will finish based on times.
The course at Boardman is more challenging than the one at Pick North. More than once the teams from NE Ohio were underestimated based on times from the regional meet.
I’m not discounting the Central region. There’s no doubt that it is loaded and, unfortunately, a deserving team from that region will not advance to state.
