Major Update:
As I'm working to finish up the Ohio All-Time lists for Outdoor & Indoor in 2024, those will become just a yearly maintenance issue. In recognition of that, I'm re-focusing all-time lists developments back to not only the Cincinnati-area schools, but have now begun the slow build of the Dayton-area schools as well. This was suggested to me years ago by a famous Cincinnati coach that once was a stand-out coach @ Trotwood-Madison of 50 years ago. Dayton schools used to rule the Dayton regionals before the decimation of the manufacturing base during the 70s-90s. Proper attention to their all-time lists have never been given the attention they're due.
So, could I get a fresh reminder as to the criteria for inclusion in the Cincinnati-area lists? My memory seems to recall these three (3) items for inclusion: 1) School residing within 30 miles of downtown Cincinnati, 2) school historically has competed in Cincinnati districts (Mason, Ross, New Richmond) throughout the majority of their history, and 3) school competes in a conference historically recognized as comprising Cincinnati-area based schools. If my memory is incorrect, I would appreciate being set straight. I plan to apply the same criteria to Dayton-area lists. In addition, I wish to build a database of "county" records for Southwest Ohio that include the following counties: Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Clermont, Brown, Clinton, Greene, Clark, Miami, Darke, Preble, and Montgomery counties. All of this list building will most likely take another 2-4 years to accomplish given my work load, but I'd like to leave these efforts for a future historian in good shape once I'm through.
Thanks so much to the community at large, and especially to Lancermania, SeekUp, and others who have built the Cincinnati lists over the past 15-20 years.
