New Balance Nationals Ohio All-Americans - Girls Edition

           Paige Floriea / Mentor 

Paige Floriea secured sixth place in the long jump competition due to her jump of 19-4.  The rising sophomore was the only non-senior to earn All-American status, so she figures to be a major factor at Nationals for years to come.  Floriea is ranked first in Ohio due to her 20-0.5 effort at the Greater Cleveland Conference meet last month.

Thomas Worthington recorded a time of 3:49.10 to finish sixth in the 4x400m relay.

           Kings / Distance Medley Relay & 4x800m Relay
