There are probably many changes throughout the state. But no more important than the changes at Mason and Hilliard Davidson High Schools. Mason's Tom Rapp retired. Hilliard Davidson lost both of their legendary head coaches, Nate and Pat. Who are their replacements and other hires...

Are these answers a joke? In what world can a 70-90-year-old official wearing glasses, usually with blackout lenses, with hearing aids able to read a 2-inch number flapping in the wind flying past them at 15-25mph? There is only one reason for bibs. Control.

Can Wayne be beaten this year? They are loaded.

It could be a possibility next year in D1, not at the district level but at the regional level. With D1 probably not going to have a district competition in track, the prelims would be crazy. I cannot imagine prelims for the 3200 and 4x800. I would imagine OHSAA trying to avoid minimal...

*A coin flip to break a tie in Division III resulted in Boardman remaining at 7 representatives going to the state tournament and Tiffin going from 5 to 4 representatives to the state tournament. A coin flip?

I disagree. But lanes should be determined if the race starts on waterfall, lanes, or alleys. Most timing companies will have the race numbers in order from #1 the fastest to the slowest. I don't think this is always advantageous to the better-seeded times. This does come into play at...

What are the lineups? And how fast will the boys/girls go this year? The weather looks more than ideal tonight. 57 degrees with less than 5 MPH winds at 9 pm.

A couple of positive thoughts: 1- the new track is fast 2- the exchange zones are a different color- awesome! 3- the meet was well run. Meet was over at 8:30 on Thursday and a little past 10:00 on Friday. 4- the weather played well with the runners. There was little wind and the storms...

Wayne is historically the best regular season meet in the state of Ohio. What are the big match-ups at Wayne?

I would not make calls for high school meets. Middle school meets 100% yes at the beginning of the year. At this point in the season, the students need to take responsibility independently. Additionally, making the first, second, and third calls will be annoying to people in attendance and a...

I agree on no district races. Please clarify: Will 10-12 teams go to the state? I was told, in addition, that the state will be expanding the number of teams to 24.

100% my point exactly. Some people would be casual fans if it were more accessible. My father and his friends in their late 70s attend a couple of meets a year together. In the city, it was a right of passage to attend a Friday night meet and watch the 100-meter guys at the finish line. With...

Full disclosure, one reason I posted this was the indoor state meet schedule. Almost 12 hours of events. With warmup and cooldown, we are looking at 13 hours for one athlete. With driving my team 4+ hours and then having an athlete competing at 9 am for long jump and 8 pm for the 4x400, I...

I have fiddled with this idea the past decade in the back of my head. I would love to hear ideas from coaches and the general public. Through my research of trial and errors, the best way to make it better is to make meets simple: time schedules for all events and hosting a meet within 3...
