North Adams Has a State Champion & A Freshman State Finalist

FROM 800 CHAMPION TO THE 400

North Adams keeps showing up

On Mar 30 at the Georgetown Vern Hawkins Invitational, Beau Hesler ran a 10.73 in the 100 and a 21.71 in the 200. Eden Bosko threw the discus 110-0. Bella Gray high jumped 5-3.5 for a PR. Three North Adams athletes, each one producing what would become a season-defining mark.

Hesler won the OHSAA D3 State Championships in the 800 last June at 1:51.78. This spring he is running the 400. The 46.59 that made him first in Ohio came at OHSAA D4 Districts, where he also won the 100 in 11.01 and the 200 in 21.98. His 800 of 1:53.62 sits 7th in Ohio, his 200 sits 16th, his 100 sits 27th. He was 3rd at OHSAA D3 State in the 800 as a sophomore in 2024 at 1:55.46 before winning it outright in 2025. The transition from defending state champion in one event to first in Ohio in a completely different one isn't something you see every day!

Bosko started throwing the discus in 2023 at 89-1. She threw 118-9 in 2024. She threw 122-1 in 2025. This spring her PR is 143-1.5, thrown at the West Union High School Invitational on Apr 14, 8th in Ohio. Each year defined by steady progress, and a longer throw. Her younger sister Ellie Bosko (2028) is already throwing 120-10, 86th in Ohio - further than Eden threw in 2024.
