I think much of the problem was due to the conversion….. which most were a big fan of. Now, that it changes some of the qualifiers, some may not like it, as it knocked their kid back a couple places and out of qualifying. Also, a few tried to register for the wrong division and maybe were...

Patience… we may not find out til August. It could very well be that Division 1 will only have 10-12 teams at the state meet. This could also change the district/regional format….ie. if there are only 80 schools in D1, does each district only have 4-6 schools?… or does everyone just compete at...

I don't believe the original post is about the Hammer being added to the meet events for HS meets. That has never been proposed to my knowlege and has only been discussed on forums like this site. There is discussion about meets that have the correct (safe) facilities to host the event. As of...

Because there are a few (many), who would take advantage of it being “open” and would not only get through without paying the $15, but could possibly interfere with the competition. I have been to the boardman regional for years and the officials are sticklers for staying off the course but...

The weight throw is only similar in the technique used to preform the event. The flight of the implement is very different due to the length and weight distribution of the hammer and the distance in can be thrown. In general, the weight goes the distance of the shot put and the hammer...

LaVonna Martin also won the "Team" title by scoring all the points for Tratwood Madison in 1983. she won the 100H, 100 Dash and 200 dash to score 30 points. In 1992 she won the siver medal in the 100 hurdles at the Olymbic games.

Sarah DeWolf - Ayersville? Girls DIII in 1995? I think 38 points with 100 (1st), 200 (1st), 400 (1st) and LJ (2nd)…. This is just recall, but you can research the specifics.

Dillon Morlock did indeed thake his 6 throws in the discus during the DIII regional meet yesterday at Norwanye, his home facility. This is because there is a fence at about 205' at Austintown and they did not want to hurt his chances of a State Record. His best throw will be the mark he...

The top girl in D3 in the NE is from Oberlin HS according to milesplit. A little research finds a girl with the same name at Oberlin College. So, although it may not cause people to scratch like a running event, misinformation is problematic.

This is a great accomplishment for the Bulldogs. This is often the goal for us.... to qualify or to score in every event at districts. Generally, would rather get 3rd/4th in every event than to win some events and not advance in others at the District level. In 2018 our boys qualified in 14...

East Canton has a relay meet with 3 for each field event. Has an opening for this year. The meet is this weekend. It’s short and sweet. Starts at 10 am and last event is run at 1:30. Good for prom time as all can be home byefore 3 pm. Go on milesplit to check it out.

This is not a JV championship that we are talking about. The IVC administrators allows every sport in the conference the chance for “JV” kids (kids beyond the usual varsity/starters) to compete in inter conference contests except in cross country where it is forbidden. Obviously...

First, it was a great effort by the OATCCC, officials, Coaches and especially the kids. I was there the entire time for both days, and took it all in, but there were some things that may need work. #1 - both days were much too long..... could get both meets done in the same day (Akron did it...

I would think (hope) that the OHSAA and the board of control would use common sense for these numbers or some group would be able to educate them to enlighten their thinking on these number so girl's CC and wrestling would lose divisions.... if the number disparity is really their concern. We...

Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately) most people reading this on yappi have a keen interest in the sports of track and cross country.... sometimes to the level of keeping it sacred or at least "special". I too believe that our sports are unique and should not be compared to other sports. I...
