Excellent! Keep 'em coming.
I doubt that about Glenville. I could be wrong, but I don't think Glenville has produced any real great distance runner. I would say the teams that are most likely to have a history of qualifying to states are the balanced ones. Not sure how many, if any, throwers or short sprinters Woodridge has gotten to states either. I would say SVSM would be among the most solid pick, they represent well every year in both distance and sprints. They've put up some good jumpers over the years. Only their throwers and hurdlers leave something to be desired, but I would not be shocked If they have had at least one state qualifier in any of those events in the last 40 years
Grenville did have some very good distance runners in the 50's and 60's..but not since the 2 mile was added in the late 60's
If you go back to just 2012 and then all the way up to and including this year's meet (this year added shot put, discus, and 3200), Thomas Worthington boys' team has qualified an athlete in every event (including all relays) except pole vault and 110H. TWHS record holder in pole vault was 14'6" from 2010, but that person got 9th at the Regional with a 14'0" jump and did not qualify. A quick internet search didn't find any other pole vaulters from TWHS or just back when it was Worthington High School, but there could have been one that I just can't find. Also can't find a 110H guy with a quick search.
Whats the status of SVSM?

I think Liberty Benton girls might have gotten all events covered as they have been very deep team for many years.
Findlay boys might have all but 4x200 as Tyler Brown qualified in 4 himself his sr. year.
Off Topic Question:
Speaking of OSSHA releasing divisions for basketball and wrestling does anyone have any idea why they are delaying releasing the Swim divisions for 2 months? It does not fall under competitive balance formula so it should be easy to calculate from straight enrollment numbers. Could they be looking at adding another division? It is not close to the 250 cut-off so I don't thing that would be it.
I don't know why swimming would not have come out yet unless they're still trying to make sure they know exactly how many teams there were in 2016-2017 before they create divisional assignments. Also, there may be some other more pressing issues related to swimming right now with regards to who will be the state swim meet manager in the future...

I looked as much as I want to. Versailles Boys have every event with the exception of Long Jump. I am about 80% confident that they have sent a LJer to state (the school record is 22'01 in 1969), but no way to be sure.
Did a quick check. Versailles girls have had All-Ohioans in every event. (top 8)
Has everyone already seen this?

Love seeing that Middletown has produced a state champion in 8 of the 12 running events since 2000.
I just noticed a quirk. For my Alma Mater (anderson) they have Anderson Township and Cincinnati Anderson.
