The indoor season is wrapping up in Ohio, and four freshmen are leaving their names top of their class leaderboards. Vincent Campbell, Colt Craig, Lyla Bailey, and Madison Jones are all Class of 2029 athletes producing marks that are hard to ignore.

Campbell ran 4:31.61 in the 1600m finals at the OATCCC D3 Indoor State Meet, topping the Ohio freshman leaderboard by over a second. He opened his indoor season in December with a 4:39.65, so the progression has been steady all winter. He also ran 2:09.56 in the 800m this indoor season.

Craig opened his indoor season on Dec. 6 at 13-0 and just cleared 14-4 at the OATCCC D3 Indoor State Meet on Mar. 7. The 14-4 leads all Ohio freshmen in the pole vault by a significant margin, with the next athlete on the leaderboard at 12-9. He also sits tied for 26th in the state overall regardless of grade.
