Track & Field State Success

US Track & Field ran, jumped, threw, and pushed their way through another very successful season. It was their first time competing in OHSAA Division II, which expanded from three to five divisions this year. 

In a dense regular-season schedule, they competed at the premier regional invitationals across Northeast Ohio, and captured the championship crown at the Dick Beeler Invitational.

At the OHSAA District Championship, Thomas Lodowski ’27 set a new DII record with a 1:49:85 in the 800 meter. This run ranked him No. 16 nationally for the season and became the sixth-fastest 800-meter time ever recorded by an Ohio high school athlete. 

 

Several Preppers advanced to the Regional and State Championships. At states,  Thomas Lodowski ’27 took second place in the 800-meter run at 1:49.92, and Nathanaël Honvou ’27 claimed second place in the pole vault, clearing a height of 15 feet, 8 inches. 

The team was led by captains Ethan Ansevin '26,  Charles Gilson '26, Alex Schott '26, and Travis Skinner '26. The team was coached by Erik Bunce, Gabe Richmond, Nathan Taylor, Michael Beros ’22, Gabe Laskey ’19, and Tremayne Harvell.

Congratulations on a record-breaking season!
