Ohio Runners

I'm sure there will be more to name, but let me start out by listing athletes from Wayne HS that qualified for the NCAA outdoor championships next month at Des Moines, Iowa.

Senior Michelle Eby (c/o 2008) of University of Cincinnati cleared 4.05 meters or 13 feet 3 1/2 inches to claim one of the top 12 marks. Michelle also holds the outdoor UC record with a leap of 13-8.5

Junior Alexis Thomas (c/o 2009) of the Ohio State University qualified 6th in the hammer throw, tossing 60.40 meters or 198 feet 3 inches. Earlier in the year, Alexis was named BIG 10 Field Event Athlete of the meet, by throwing a school record AND BIG 10 record of 64.62 meters or 212 feet.

Finally, sophomore Demoye Bogle (c/o 2010), also of the Ohio State University, went 13.81 (fourth fastest in OSU school history), finishing 10th overall, for his first trip to NCAA's.

I know there will be more to list, but wanted to list from our school (it's the proud coach in me)....

Iowa sophomore Ashley Liverpool(Walnut Hills '10) finished 2nd in her West Region 400m quarterfinal with a 53.36, automatically qualifying to Nationals. Ashley a week earlier PR'd at 52.47 while placing 2nd at the Big 10 championships.

NE Ohio girls qualifing for NCAA D-1 Nationals:
Emily Infeld(Beaumont)-1500, Madeline Chambers(Magnificat)-5000, Bekka Simko(Gilmour)-800, Kaila Barber(Midpark)400H& 4x400,Jade Barber(Midpark) 4x400, Shaniqua McGinnis(Shaker Hts)-400, Aeron Payne(Beaumont)-200. Congrats to this group of ladies as well as the above group!

@karl_kauffman

Well, she's the heir-apparent to the former Walnut Hills girls' 400m queens, and that hand-over of title just may happen this year!

@JAVMAN83

She is well ahead of Wineberg's curve that's for sure lol. It will be interesting to see if Ashley can get under 51 by the time she's done at Iowa, which should earn her a pro contract. With two years to go she's certainly well on her way.

Taylor Burke, from Medina HS, now at Florida. She won the SEC as a freshman, and has now qualified for Nationals.

Believe former Trotwood runners Chris Burrows and William Henry are on the Arizona State 4 X 4.

Quincy Downing of Glenville qualified in the 400 and 4x4 for LSU.


Also Aisha Cavin and Chelsea Sykes from Bishop Hartley qualified in the 4x1 and 4x4 for OSU.
