Let's talk Ohio HS Track

Great way for Lancaster to redeem themselves after not winning Xc state. They could have won xc state if their 4/5 did better. Mason didn’t do their best at xc state so Lancaster could have taken advantage of that

Mason - junior Liao beat their #1 Xc runner from fall. Markich did triple jump

Any predictions for Outdoor?. Ackley with state records in mile and 2mile. Nastari chasing Nick Plants record.

1600 & 3200 or mile and 2 mile? Just asking because the 1 & 2 mile are sometimes run at invites. Different records are maintained for both events.

Regardless, he'll do well but no records for him.

Lancaster looked very very good this week. Maybe 7:40 could happen.

Hilarious you'd bring up Scrape when he was simply not as good in hs as Ackley is right now. Where are you from exactly?

I’m from Indy but I know who you are. I was with your girlfriend this past weekend.

IF they all run PRs in the same race....

Thress - 1:53

Lanoy - 1:56 (Guessing his split was somewhere around here on Sat, given the 7:48 and Thress anchoring in 1:54)

Taylor - 1:56

Schorr - 1:59

So... 7:44-46.

7:40 would definitely take some magic, but they're not far off.

Are there any Ohio relay teams (distance or sprints) entered in either the New Balance or Nike meet this weekend? I’ve looked at the start lists but you can’t always tell by the team names since they’re not always the schools’ names.

Is Ohio a bit down this year in the sprints?

Actually I’ve only looked at the start lists for the NB meet. The Nike website is horrible and I can’t find the starting list.

The national meets are turning unserious anyways. Instead of being elite meets with only the very best, they’ve become cash cows with way too many entries.

If it’s easier to make the National meet than the Indoor State meet, something is wrong.

Agree but aren’t there still qualifying standards to make the “championship” races? It seems like they classify them by “rising stars,” “championship,” etc.

The National XC meets seem a bit more difficult to make since they’re are qualifying regional meets.

Marlington did manage to get 2nd in the 4 x mile at New Balance which is seriously impressive. Dublin Jerome and Dublin Scioto both ran the 4 x Mile at New Balance, but with mediocre results. Medina also ran at New Balance with a mediocre performance, and Beaver Creek ran at New Balance with a subpar performance, both in the 4 x Mile.

at Nike Lancaster ran the 4 x Mile in a solid time of 17:39, capturing 4th. They also look to be running the 4 x 800 on Sunday at Nike.

The lost by .12 to a school that recruits

Lancaster won the 4x8 in a close race at 7:48.84

Tommy Rice had a solid race in the 5k. Although it's going to be a tough path for Rice to repeat as state champ. If Ackley decides to go after the 3,200 at the state meet this year, I don't see anyone that can beat him. Eli Ilg from Jackson HS is someone to keep at eye on as well. Ran 9:08 indoors this year as a sophomore.

I know we tend to focus on distance events here, but can we take a moment to acknowledge what a stud Juliette Laracuente-Huebner is from Highland?

HJ - 5' 9" (D2 state champ, 4th at NBIN, #4 US)

LJ - 20' 3 3/4" (D2 state champ, 2nd at NBIN, #4 US)

TJ - 42' 0.5" (D2 state champ, 1st at NBIN, #3 US)

60H - 8.55 (D2 state champ, 13th at NBIN, #20 US)

Is she the best Ohio HS T&F athlete ever? I mean, this is ridiculous... beyond just winning the indoor D2 state meet by herself.

And before you laugh me out of the gym... this is right up there with Nelloms. If not better.
