What Ohio team do people think has the best squad of 1600 runners currently? Suppose you could make a 4 x 1600 team with any ohio high school squad. What team would most likely win?

Wor. Kilbourne has a solid top 3:
Smith (4:16), Miller (4:18), Hawkins (4:24).
Needs one more; there are a bunch of sophomores in the 4:40s. They would need one of them to step up.

Dub. Jerome has:
Ricchuti (4:16), Guerrera (4:18), Tyler (4:27), Ishida (4:29)

Wester. North has:
Gabelman (4:12), Dellasanta (4:20), Carlos (4:28)
They have 2 more solid XC guys (Kerns, 16:06), Mazek (16:03). maybe one of them can put up a solid 1600 time

Olen. Orange has:
Schroff (4:15), Rudraraju (4:18)
They also have 15:47, 16:20, 16:36, and 16:39, 16:41 guys. Maybe 2 of those guys can put up solid 1600 times.

Dub. Coffman has 4:17, 4:22, 4:23, 4:28

Apparently there was a middle schooler in this HS race

Can someone explain how Competitive Balance works in Ohio for the sports of Track & Cross Country? Has it been a good thing? Wisconsin somehow passed the plan and now the cross country coaches are 85+% against it and sounds like wrestling likes it even less!

There is no competitive balance in the sports of cross country or track & field in Ohio

I think that the 4x800 will be between St. Xavier and Wor. Kilbourne (if Smith / Miller / Hawkins choose to do it).

St. Xavier returns 3 sub-1:59 guys. Also a bunch of other 2:0x guys.

Kilbourne returns 1:56, 1:56, 1:58 (all seniors), and also a 2:05 sophomore.

2024 OATCCC D1 Indoor State Meet

Live results link (entries are there)

That boys 3200m looks very, very interesting.

Ben Gabelman will win the indoor 1600m time with a time of 4:0x. No one will come close, as I don't think anyone has the wheels at this moment to reel off 4 consecutive 62s.

The aforementioned Connor Long will place high, perhaps as high as 2nd. He has had a very nice trajectory over his HS career and things have been working out well for him during his senior year. Ditto this for Jake Sebaugh, who should have good indoor and outdoor seasons.

Will they be running in college? Where would they be headed? UC? OSU?

what is the toughest double at indoor state? (distance wise)

4x800m, 1600m

4x800m, 800m

1600m, 800m

800m, 3200m

1600m, 3200m

4x800m, 3200m

I lean towards 1600, 800

Definitely 800 and 3200, they’ll be the closest together and you wouldnt really be able to train for either specifically

that is true. I change my answer to that, with 1600, 800 2nd. I wonder if any have done this double (open 800m, 3200m) at the state meet, indoor or outdoor.
