Filling in the Blanks - Names requests from the Past

Well-known member
OK...I'm working towards completion of a compilation of the Cincinnati area district winners of the last 40 years (start of the 3 divisions in 1971). I'm about 2/3 through now, but am needing help with filling in some blanks regarding first names from various schools and their years of graduation. I'll be adding requests as I go along here.

To start with the Cincy District (now Mason), here are some requests:

1980 100m/200m - ? Campbell (Withrow)
1980 - 100mH (30") - Valecia Kelly (West Hi)
1980 - 800m - Lori Hammons (McAuley)
1980 - 1600/Mile (?) - Jackie McVey (Mt. Notre Dame)

1981 - 100m - Kim Stanton (Withrow)
1981 - 100mH (30") - ? Brown (Taft)
1981 - 1600m(Mile)/800m - Diane Hoeting (Seton) - Which one of the Hoetings was it?

1987 - 300mH - ? Klug (Anderson)

1987 - 100mH (33") - ? Walker (Withrow)

1988 - 100mH (33") - Nicole Cross (Princeton)

1988 & 1989 - 3200m - Susie Hollingshead (Lebanon)

1989 - 300mH - Danya Kemper (Withrow)


That's enough for now...any help would be appreciated!

I should note...the compilations are of BOTH Division 1 districts, boys and girls, and both D2 & D3, boys and girls.

This is a massive database I hope to get out...a.s.a.p.
 
Here's a few:

Valecia Kelly
Lori Hammons (Hamons?)
Jackie McVey

K Stanton
Diane Hoeting

Nicole Cross

Susie Hollingshead

Danya Kemper
 
Thanks...I did track down Stanton's and Cross' first names since I posted earlier, but thanks for all of them.
 
Javman- Please correct a spelling error when you compile your list:

2003 D2 3200 winner should be "McArthur".

Also, I know grade levels are not always recorded in the results. If you come across any other freshman boys that have won the district 3200 please let me know. I don't think it has happened very often. Thanks.
 
While looking at some of the past district results on Baums Page I came across some weird results in the 2003 Anderson district race:


Event 20 Boys 3200 Meter Run
=======================================================================
Name Year School Finals Points
=======================================================================
1 Tony Matheus 11 Kings 9:37.00 10
2 Neumann Brad 12 Sycamore 9:38.70 8
3 Luke Beuerlein 10 Moeller 9:39.40 6
4 Thomas Balmat 11 St Xavier J9:59.80 5
5 Matt Winebar 10 Kings J9:46.40 4
6 Jon Gest 10 Mason J10:22.30 3
7 Pat Witte 12 Moeller J10:20.00 2
8 Ben McGlothlin 10 Mason J9:59.30 1


What is that all about?

Already corrected. Tracking down graduation years for the older dates is going to take time.

You're guess is as good as mine as of this moment. I suspect possible entry error that never got corrected.

FWIW, my records show Balmat 4th with a 9:42.0.

I trained with Larry and Jim. Armentrout spanked me when I dared to drop down to the 880.

Hah, hah...we've all been spanked at one time or another. 1989 Alabama Relays...I'm the farthest non-qualifier to finals with a 175' 3" javelin throw...top 9 was 195+, with the winner at 250+. 1994 @ Indy, I lose by 90+ feet to US #1 thrower. Very humbling :)
 
If they're any left by this evening, I'll try and assist. Without my notes, Marcus Dudley won the 1600m in 1981 for Withrow, I think the 1974 Section II 880 yd. winner is Cleo Kelley of Courter Tech, John Nichwitz of Moeller upset Bill Budke in the 1982 3200m, Bill Wilson was a fine distance runner for Amelia, as was Pete Strimple of Western Hills.
 
Thank you, all. The District Winner Archive Project (DWAP for short) is in the homestretch now. Over 95% complete now, with only a few hundred winners left to fill in. As those are filled in, I'm looking for first names along with a few missing performances not able to be identified from microfilm archives due to microfilm issues or lack of reporting at the time of the mark(s). All of your help is valuable in trying to make the 1st issue of the archive as complete as possible.

Thanks. I should've picked up on Marcus Dudley as he was a teammate of mine at UC.
 
There was a Cleophis Kelley that I beat in a 220 yard dash at UC around 1971 when both of us were students at UC. Could there have been two with the same first name. The odd thing is that I remember that the guy I beat also ran the 880 in high school in Cincinnati, but he coudn't have been the 1974 guy because I graduated from UC in 1974.

I lived next door to Joe Murphy and the Mellots lived just up the street. Those are awesome websites.

I just spent 30 minutes looking through those websites, GREAT STUFF. I'm a little surprised that the boy's distance records aren't a little better...

keep in mind that until three to four years ago, Elder never had their own track to train on. I don't think it mattered as much for cross country, because obviously Elder has had a very successful program through the years. For track though, we hit the streets much like we did in the fall. We did speed training on what we had to work with, which was very little.
