The quartet from Lakota West left no doubt who the country's premier 4x800 meter relay squad was due to their work on Saturday at the SPIRE Institute during the OATCCC Division 1 State Finale.
The Firebirds went a blistering 7:50.06 to outpace a very game runner-up squad from North Canton-Hoover, who went US No. 4 7:54.92, to secure the title and in doing so they claim the nation's top mark for the 2021 indoor campaign.
Zach Beneteau, Sergio Negroe, Cole Cronk and Zachary Plotkin represented the West Chester-based roster.
Watch their handiwork above and hear post-race assessments from the foursome below, which includes an unveiling of their goal to take down the reigning OHSAA 4x800m state record during the outdoor season.
