Any further thoughts on ways to address the massive disparity between certain districts feeding the same region?
In the Central District 1, Westerville North didn't advance in the 4x8, despite running 8:02. Pick Central ran 8:06, also not advancing. In the Marietta District, which also feeds the Pick N Regional, the following times advanced - 8:41, 8:46, 9:00, and 9:06.
In that district, Connor Ackley alone could've advanced in the 4x8.
How is this fair? Westerville N could've lapped that 9:06 squad. And yet... nope.
I know this was discussed a bit on a different thread, but does it seem like OHSAA has any interest in taking a look at this?
I'm sure there are numerous other examples of egregious, annual differences between districts - beyond random chance and yearly talent dips and rises.
Thoughts?
