Keeping up on current high school con-ference baseball standings isn’t the easiest thing in the world to do, given rainouts and makeup games in this part of the country.

First-year Northwood coach John Segura knows his team’s record and he knows the Rangers are tied for fi rst place in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference. He just doesn’t know who the Rangers are tied with.

“The fi rst-place TAAC team has two losses,” Segura said, “and I know we’re one of them.”

Northwood, which traveled to Danbury on Thursday, improved to 8-11 and 5-2 in the TAAC with a 15-1 win over Danbury on Monday and a 21-2 win over Emmanuel Christian on Tuesday. The Rangers last won a TAAC title in 2011 and just one current player, senior pitcher/catcher/shortstop Jake Davenport, played on that team.

Head coach Dave Russell resigned fol-lowing last season and his assistant coach of six years, Segura, took over. Segura inher-ited a varsity program that graduated seven seniors and returned just three starters.

Segura said the Rangers have been on a “rollercoaster” for much of the season, although they had a three-game winning streak heading into Thursday.

“I took the job because I wanted to make sure the program was still going in the right direction, something that Dave turned it into,” Segura said. “At times I like our grit, the way we play the game. But, we’re up and down. We’re either extremely good defensively and can hit the ball, or they both fail together. It depends on which team shows up.”

Segura said the team’s catalysts are Davenport, junior catcher Myles Habel and junior infi elder/pitcher Jack Romstadt.

“If Jake and Myles come to play, we play with the attitude they bring,” Segura said. “Their teammates ride that. Those

two, along with Jack Romstadt, those three are the big leaders on our team.”

Habel, a second-team All-TAAC catch-er last year, leads Northwood with a .526 batting average. He has three home runs and 26 RBIs, and his 12 doubles is a school single-season record.

“For his size, he runs extremely well,” Segura said. “He’s 6-3, 280 pounds and he is the best catcher in our league. He has a great arm, he blocks the ball well and he is an extremely intelligent kid.”

Davenport, the Rangers’ No. 1 pitcher,

is 2-1 with a 2.74 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 23 innings. He’s also hitting .400 with eight RBIs and 10 stolen bases.

“Jake is our emotional leader,” Segura said. “If he comes in having a great day, we ride Jake’s coat tails. He has control of the mood of the team. He’s our vocal leader and he’s my coach on the fi eld.”

Davenport plays behind the plate when freshman pitcher Evan LaPlante is on the mound. LaPlante (2-2, 2.33 ERA), who has 31 strikeouts in 21 innings, threw a seven-inning no-hitter in his fi rst varsity start, a

1-0 win over Vanlue.“Jake catches Evan because he can con-

trol him,” Segura said. “If Evan gets rattled, Jake can go out and settle him down.”

Romstadt, who pitches and plays shortstop and second base, is batting .388 with 12 RBI.

“Jack has been a starter all three years in high school,” Segura said. “He has an ex-tremely high baseball IQ. He’s a situational guy. He knows what to do in every situa-tion we’re in.”

Junior Stephen Sutton, who lettered last year, is Northwood’s No. 2 pitcher and has a 2-2 record with a 2.84 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 32 innings.

“He throws strikes and makes the other team put the ball in play, and he is extreme-ly confi dent on the mound,” Segura said. “He has good size and is a strong kid.”

Another valuable player has been ju-nior Jacob Zieroff, who can pitch and play center fi eld, second base and shortstop.

“He’s pitched some really big games for us this year and he’s one of our biggest surprises,” Segura said. “He’s hitting about .255, but defensively he’s sound wher-ever we put him. He does everything. He’s stepped up and fi lled a huge role for us.”

Northwood’s seniors are Davenport, right fi elder Lukas DeSelms, third baseman Antonio Espinosa and Marco Ortiz, who can play third or fi rst.

“Antonio hasn’t played since his fresh-man year,” Segura said. “He keeps the dug-out light and he has never complained once about playing time. He’s gotten signifi cant playing time because of the attitude he car-ries. He’s accepted being a role player.”

Segura looks for the Rangers to carry their winning streak into Saturday’s Division III sectional opener against host Otsego.

“Our goals from here on out are to win the TAAC and take the playoff games one game at a time,” the coach said. “We’re not looking past Otsego at all, and that’s it. Our No. 1 goal right now is to remain in fi rst place in the TAAC and take the state tour-nament one game at a time.”

Former Waite and Florida State women’s basketball star forward Natasha Howard made her preseason WNBA debut on Tuesday as the Indiana Fever hosted the Washington Mystics at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. In their fi rst preseason game of 2014, a depleted Indiana Fever roster fell to the Washington Mystics, 80-63. Indiana got off to a fast start, taking a 25-20 lead after the fi rst quarter, but the offense stalled from there, combining to score just 17 points in the next two periods. Howard led the Fever with 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting. In her second preseason game, an 81-80 loss to the Mystics in the nation's capital, Howard scored 11 points. The No. 5 pick in the WNBA Draft, the 6-foot-3 Howard added a game-high seven rebounds in her second game as a pro. She teamed with Marissa Coleman and trade acquisition Lynetta Kizer to command a 41-24 advantage on the boards. Kizer, an-other University of Maryland product and D.C. native, had six rebounds. The trio combined to shoot 15-of-30 from the fl oor. “We were a helluva lot better than yes-terday,” said Fever coach Lin Dunn. “We

played really, really well for 37-and-a-half minutes. I wanted that second or third group of players to either win it or lose it for us in the fourth quarter. “We dominated the boards. We im-proved a lot from Tuesday. We did a lot of things well and it sure helped having Layshia Clarendon back.” Anchored by Howard and Kizer, Indiana scored 20 second-chance points, compared to 11 for Washington, helping outscore the Mystics 46-30 in the paint. Howard made FSU program history in several ways, most recently becoming the school’s highest WNBA Draft pick on April 14. She became the fi rst Seminole to be drafted in the WNBA since former player Jacinta Monroe was picked sixth overall in the 2010 draft by the Mystics. Howard had one of the fi nest seasons in school history in 2013-14. She earned honorable mention All-America honors from the Associated Press and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, and was a second team Senior Class All-American. She fi nished her FSU career with a program-record 41 double-doubles, including a sin-gle-season record 15 in her senior season.

the award.“Dylan and

John share many of the same character-istics and personali-ties,” the coach said. “Dylan’s presence behind the plate was an asset all spring, as teams knew he wasn’t going to be an easy catcher to run on. On top of his presence at the plate, Dylan was a tough out all season. He was probably our most consistent hitter

B-2 THE PRESS MAY 12, 2014

Two athletes from The Press coverage area picked up major awards on April 30 at The Ohio State University at Lima baseball banquet.

John Segura Jr., a freshman outfi eld-er/pitcher from Northwood, was named the Barons’ Freshman of the Year. Dylan Clifton-Lorton, a sophomore catcher from Waite, was voted the team’s Player of the Year after earning Freshman of the Year honors in 2013.

“I was pretty shocked,” Segura said. “I thought our second baseman, Dan Ankrum, was going to get it. Dan was a pretty good player all year and led the team in hitting. I tried to be a leader for the team as much as I could. I thought I had a pretty good year. I had high expectations for myself and I felt I met them.”

The 6-foot-2, 245-pound Segura, who moved from fi rst base to left fi eld and also pitched some middle relief, batted .293 with 11 walks, nine doubles, 12 RBI and 21 runs.

“John was chosen as freshman of the year because he helped the team in numer-ous areas and was Mr. Clutch,” said OSU-Lima coach Abe Ambroza, whose team fi n-ished 18-26 and 12-7 in the Ohio Regional Campus Conference. “He hit anywhere from second to fi fth in the order and had some huge hits and huge defensive plays. He brought an energy that the team could rally behind. John had a fi elding percent-age of .975, with several great diving plays made in clutch situations.”

The 6-foot, 185-pound Clifton-Lorton hit .365 this season, with seven doubles, one home run, 17 RBI and 11 runs. He said he was “surprised” he was named the team’s player of the year.

“That’s not something I shoot for,” he said. “I just try to make myself the best I can be to help the team succeed. I un-derstand I put in the work to deserve the award, but it wasn’t necessarily what I was

shooting for.”Clifton-Lorton, 19, said he fi gured

the award would come down to he and Ankrum, who is from Grove City.

“He got Slugger of the Year and was de-serving of it statistically,” Clifton-Lordon said. “I feel the player of the year is more broad in terms — defensively, offensively, your mentality on the fi eld. I felt I held my composure and that’s key when your team is full of freshmen. They look for a way to look at reactions. If I broke down in situ-ations, it would refl ect on the rest of the team.”

Ambroza said that Clifton-Lorton, who had a .986 fi elding percentage and threw out 11 of 20 base runners, was deserving of

and he never really ran into an extended cold streak.

“When he stepped up to the plate he was putting together a good at-bat, with a purpose to help the team. He was great at working counts and getting on when we desperately needed a runner. He is a pas-sionate and very intelligent baseball play-er.”

Segura, 19, a four-year varsity letterman at Northwood who earned second team All-Toledo Area Athletic Conference honors as a senior, said he worked out with the OSU-Lima coaches and players last October.

“I kind of shopped around for schools for football and baseball,” he said. “I had a school down for both sports, and I kind of chose Lima. I love it here. Everybody is friendly and they get along with you. It was nice being around different people and it’s nice being away.”

Segura, who is majoring in education, played fi rst base for most of his career before Ambroza asked him to move to left fi eld.

“I moved to left after our trip down South,” Segura said. “I played right fi eld my sophomore year (at Northwood). I like the outfi eld. (Ambroza) moved me to left to put more hitters in the lineup, and I felt I was able to be moved out there. I played pretty well (defensively) and I was pretty comfort-able. I had a diving catch my second game out there that helped us win a game.”

Clifton-Lorton, a business major, said he had high hopes for this year’s squad, which had no seniors. He said he wants to play for the Barons again next season.

Ambroza certainly wants Clifton-Lorton and Segura to play for the Barons in 2015.

“Both of them are quality young men who make it apparent right away that they have been educated correctly in their lives,” Ambroza said. “Both have high goals for themselves as well as their teammates, and they work their tails off to achieve those goals. I expect them to be very successful for the remainder of their collegiate careers and after they graduate and move on to their respective professions.”

Eastwood senior discus and shot put thrower Emily Hayward found herself in an unenviable position two years ago.

Hayward tore her left ACL just four games into her sophomore basket-ball season, in the fourth quarter against Woodmore. She missed the rest of that sea-son, along with the entire 2012 volleyball season. She didn’t get cleared to play sports again until October of her junior year.

“It was tough,” said Hayward, an honorable mention All-Northern Buckeye Conference middle hitter last fall. “I wanted to be out there with them and celebrate the wins. I don’t think about (the ACL) much now. I got out of my brace during basketball this season. It’s scary to think about it, but you have to let it go. If it (injury) is going to happen, it’s going to happen.”

As a thrower, the 5-foot-11 Hayward relies on her leg strength to give her the power she needs to throw the shot and dis-cus as far as she can. She threw the shot a career-best 34 feet, 11 inches last season, and her career best is 109-8 in the discus this season. Hayward placed third in the shot at last year’s NBC meet and took fi fth at districts.

Hayward won the shot and took third in the discus on Tuesday in the Eagles’ wins over host Fremont Ross and Woodmore. Coach Nikki Sabo’s squad is 9-1 in duals and tri-meets this season, with its lone loss coming against Clay.

Sabo said Hayward has been more con-sistent with the discus of late.

“I personally think the shot is her best event,” Sabo said. “She has a lot of power in her legs and is very quick in the (throw)

Thrower reaches career bestring. Those two things can make for a pretty good thrower. Right now her shot is consis-tently over 32 (feet), and she’s been around 105-110 these last few meets in the discus. Last year she would hit 100 every once in a while. She has potential to get into that 110-120 range.”

Hayward’s throw coach is Whitney Hartman, who holds the Eastwood record in the discus and shot.

“I give her all the credit,” Hayward said. “Without her, I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am today. She’s a really good coach and she knows what she’s talking about. She takes time to stay after practice and she videotapes us to show us what we do wrong.”

Hayward threw the shot as a fresh-man and also competed in the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay. Near the end of Hayward’s freshman season the Eastwood coaching staff planned to get Hayward into throwing the discus as a sophomore. The ACL injury scratched those plans.

“She was out for a year and a half,” Sabo said. “I’m impressed with how she came back through adversity. She fought back through her therapy and came back with a vengeance. It was a thrill having her back. She is very encouraging of her team-mates and she has that internal fi re where she wants to do well. It just carries over to the rest of our throwers. She’s a hard work-er.”

Hayward admitted that although she tends to tense up more in the shot, she prefers throwing the eight-pound ball to throwing the discus. Competing in the shot, she said, forces her to push herself.

“This is only my second year doing the discus, and I’m still learning,” she said. “It’s all technique. People think it’s easy. It looks easy, but when you go to do it, it’s

all technique. If you don’t have your tech-nique down, you’re not going to do well. It all comes with practice.”

Hayward said her goals entering this season were to reach 35 feet in the shot and consistently throw in the 100s in the dis-cus. There is one more thing.

“I’d love to get to regionals,” she said. “My ultimate goal is to get to state, but re-gionals is more of something I can see in my future.”

Hayward, 19, who has a 3.3 GPA, plans to study psychology at Eastern Michigan University in the fall.

Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School has found its new head boys basketball coach after a month-long search.

A 1993 Rossford graduate and for-mer college basketball assistant, Jamie Kachmarik informed school offi cials that he will be accepting the 2014-2015 boys basketball head coaching position.

“Actually they just reached out to me probably about a week and a half ago,” Kachmarik said. “My kids go to All Saints in Rossford. So there was a little connec-tion of people he knew that I now know and I stopped college coaching and came back because this is where my family is from. My wife’s family is from here and it was time. I have a 7-year-old son, a 4-year-old daughter. So it’s time to get back to family.”

A graduate of Bowling Green State University, Kachmarik worked for then-BG-SU head coach Jim Larrañaga while earn-ing his degree. Upon graduation, Larrañaga helped Kachmarik get involved and land a job as part of the Jim O’Brien coaching staff at Ohio State, where he was part of the 1999 fi nal four team and the 2000 Big Ten championship team.

“I coached at (the College of) William and Mary for three years, from there I went to Coastal Carolina University for six years, then Appalachian State for a year and UNC-Wilmington for three years. So I’ve got about 16 years on the coaching staffs at many different places — everything from video coordinator at Ohio State to associ-ate head coach at Appalachian State and at

UNC-Wilmington,” explained Kachmarik.“This is a big hire for the program and

we are excited Jamie decided to become a member of the Cardinal family,” said

Athletic Director Craig Meinzer. “Jamie has a wealth of basketball knowledge and we are excited he has decided to bring that knowledge to Stritch.”

During his tenure at North Carolina of Wilmington from 2010-2013, Kachmarik spent time breaking down video, fundrais-ing for the school and handled a number of basketball operation duties. Kachmarik also handled the offensive coordinating for the team.

In addition to coaching, Kachmarik has shown involvement and leadership off the court. He is currently a member of the committee for the CollegeInsider.com Basketball Tournament and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

“Whe n talking to Jamie, we felt as though he understood not only the impor-tance of basketball, but the importance of academics and other high school activi-ties at a faith-based school,” said Rev. Eric Schild, president of St. Kateri Catholic Schools. “Jamie told us he wants to be an important member of the basketball pro-gram as well as a key member of the school overall.”

Energetic and optimistic, at a press conference Kachmarik was visibly excited about the local opportunity to excel.

“Once I talked to Craig and everybody and met everybody that was it. I thought Stritch, as I would call it, is a little ‘Sleeping Giant’ over here. I think they could be a very good program. They have a very good player in Austin Adams in the program al-ready and I think we can build off that, get some momentum over here and people will start to fi nd out a little more about Cardinal Stritch,” Kachmarik said.

New gridiron coach impressed by community’s passion

Paul Patterson. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com)

By J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

At a press conference Thursday, new Genoa head football coach Paul Patterson began tearing up when thinking about his mentor, Central Catholic head coach Greg Dempsey. Patterson was an assistant under Donnelly 10 years, winning one state cham-pionship, and last fall he was an assis-tant under Genoa coach Tim Spiess, who announced his resignation early this spring. Patterson, who played high school foot-ball at Canton Central Catholic, was intro-duced to the media and community at the Genoa Schools administration building late in the afternoon Thursday. “The interview committee members were impressed by Paul’s passion and lead-ership style to guide our student-athletes next fall,” Assistant Athletic Director Daniel Dippman said. “As you are aware, the Comet football program has been one of the elite Division III football programs in the state of Ohio and we are confident that Paul and his staff will continue that tradition to be the best by building champions on and off the field.” Patterson first thanked his wife and family, saying his wife is the “No. 1 reason that I’m here.” Then, he thanked Genoa school officials, the community, former coaches Tim Spiess and Mike Vicars, and then he turned to the corner of the room, where Dempsey was standing next to Mike Padgett, a Central AD and Genoa resident.

Patterson never mentioned Dempsey by name, but he nodded towards him. He sim-ply referred to him by the usage of personal pronouns. “I’m a football coach who cries because I’m emotional,” Patterson said. “I’ll be pas-sionate about it, but he’s a good friend of mine and he means the world to me, and he’s another reason that I am here. What I’ve learned from him and how to do things in a championship style of way, and that’s this passion thing. I cried at the state championship game getting ready to give a pep speech after our quarterback was

warmed up. It’s a normal thing — it’s that passionate part of it. I appreciate so much what he’s given to me.” It was during his only year as an assis-tant at Genoa that Patterson saw what he needed to apply for the position. “I’ve seen things going on in the com-munity that made me even more excited about having this opportunity, and I brought that up in the interview,” Patterson said. “One of the coolest things I’ve seen in high school football in my time coaching was the playoff game against Bryan where the fans were lined up from the gate all the way to the field for the team to come in. One of the coolest things I’ve ever been a part of. “Being here for a year — it has helped me. It gave me positive vibes for this oppor-tunity. It showed how great this oppor-tunity was to be the head coach here at Genoa because of the community, because of the kids, because of the support from the administration, and how much this commu-nity enjoys being out on Friday nights and being a part of Friday night football. You can’t beat that.” “It means opportunity — being in a community and position like this, and to get an opportunity like this in a great com-munity with great kids and great support around you. A coach can’t ask for more than that, and I’m appreciative for that and grate-ful for this opportunity. This is obviously a program that is not broken.” Patterson said he has also gotten a feel for Genoa’s athletes, and that played into his decision. “Some of the people who aren’t here

but are probably finding out about it some way or another right now are the student-athletes. Again, those are kids that I got to be around for a year, coaching now in track, and seeing their work ethic. It’s another reason that excited me for this opportunity was the kids here at Genoa, and being able to work with them,” Patterson continued. “These kids play with their heart, these kids play with passion, and that is not going to change. That’s going to be expected and I know that’s what I’m getting from these kids. The other thing is I’ve been with a great program in the past — part of this program and part of Central Catholic, and so I think I can bring a lot of positives to continue on this program that has been built up here.” Genoa’s program set two Ohio records over the last seven years under Spiess and Vicars. The team’s 3,996 points scored are the most all-time out of the 728 football programs in the Buckeye state, as are the 68 regular-season wins that were accumulated from 2007-13. The overall record was 77-9, which included a 48-game regular-season winning streak (2007-11).

Patterson recognizes what the two coaches have done for Genoa football and promises those days are not over. “I’d also like to thank the people who built this program before me — Tim Spiess and Mike Vicars,” Patterson said. “They’ve come in here and they did a great job build-ing this football program, and are we going to put the foot on the brake? Heck no. We’re going to put the foot on the gas and continue moving on with this program.

Many freshmen who compete in colle-giate athletics do not see much game time during their fi rst year. It’s often expected that they fi rst get used to competing at the higher level, adjust, and come back better prepared for their fi nal three years of eli-gibility.

Sometimes, an athlete bucks the trend and becomes a key contributor right away.

Oak Harbor’s Allie Dresser made her mark as a freshman at Heidelberg University, succeeding in sports year-round and addressing her musical talents while balancing a full time class schedule.

The 2013-14 school year saw Dresser, a 2013 Oak Harbor graduate, compete in cross country, indoor and outdoor track and fi eld while majoring in music with an emphasis on piano performance.

Dresser, who lettered four times on both the Oak Harbor track and fi eld and cross country teams and advanced to re-gional meets in both sports, just completed her fi rst year competing for the Student Princes. She consistently competed in the 800 meters and on 4x800 relay team, and saw action with 4x400 relay team, too.

At the Ohio Athletic Conference cham-pionships, Heidelberg was fi fth out of 10 teams, and Dresser contributed by fi nish-ing 14th in the 800 meters and was part of the 4x800 relay team that included Dresser, Hayley Cochran, Sophie Goobic, and Dani Blum and fi nished fi fth.

Dresser also had nice showing at the Spark Adams Invitational, fi nishing 16th in the 800. She was 17th in the 1,500 and was part of the 4x400 relay team that came in sixth at the Marv Frye Invite.

But it was in cross country where she made her mark, establishing herself as one of the top runners on a team that was fourth in the OAC this year.

Dresser steadily fi nished in the top portion of the races, coming in 25th (out of 137) at the OAC Meet, 93rd (out of 244) at the Great Lakes Regional Meet, ninth (out of 52) at the Bluffton Invite and 96th (out of 283) at the All-Ohio Collegiate

Year-round sports, music consume Dresser’s time

Championships.Heidelberg came in 13th out of 33

teams at the regional meet and consistently fi nished in the top half of the meets.

The good news for Heidelberg is that nearly everyone will return to help Dresser lift the club to new heights next season. Of the top fi ve runners, four were fresh-men, though the top runner, Goobic, the 2013 OAC Women’s Runner of the Year, will graduate. The team also includes

Gibsonburg alum Courtney Ksenich. Competing has allowed Dresser the

opportunity to make some friends and develop a tight-knit bond with her team-mates.

“Our team is really close,” said Dresser, who also credits her parents with being very supportive of her. “We do everything together. It’s a close-knit atmosphere — my team is like my family. The coaching staff is awesome, they take care of us. I would

say the family atmosphere with the team is what I like about Heidelberg.”

Dresser, the oldest of four kids, says it’s not easy balancing athletics and aca-demics on a year-round basis.

“It’s tough and it takes a lot of dedica-tion (but) you can pretty much do anything that you set your mind to it,” she said. “I love it and it can work if you do the extra work. It can be a lot sometimes, though. It’s a whole different way of thinking and living. It’s defi nitely diffi cult. When I’m at practice, I focus on that, and when I’m at school, I’m working on that.

“Cross country taught me a lot. The summer training and the little things like eating right and drinking enough water are important. Running now is a whole differ-ent thing; the training is a lot different. You can be the best in high school, but you’ve got to work your butt off (to compete in college). It doesn’t matter what your times in high school were. It just depends on the training and how well you buy into the system. You have to trust the coaches and adapt.”

She likes the fact that practicing with the team has provided her with some struc-ture.

“It’s nice to have a set schedule,” said Dresser, who practices about two to three hours per day. “Running has always been in my schedule and it’s such a good stress release. And running in Division III, it’s not like they own you. I have to run on my own and the coaches are accomodating and they want us to succeed academically and in sports.”

Dresser, a Martin native, plays the pia-no and the violin. She took part in two pi-ano recitals this year, one in each semester.

“I’m defi nitely improving,” Dresser said. “This semester I got another recital under my belt, so hopefully I’ll keep im-proving.”

At this point, Dresser, who is currently taking her fi nal exams, can look forward to coming home for the summer, where she plans to fi nd a job, continue to train athleti-cally and work on her piano skills. Despite the time struggles that come with being a student-athlete, Dresser is happy about the decision she made.

Brandyn Neal (Lake) Storm Lutz (Lake) Isaiah Jefferson (Oak Harbor) Tim Poiry (Oak Harbor)

By Mark Griffi nand Yaneek [email protected]

Zeb George was a happy camper on April 25.

The second-year Lake track and fi eld coach, an assistant under Dominic Kaple for three years prior, watched his boys’ team take fi rst place at the 11-team Gibsonburg Golden Bear Invitational. It was the school’s fi rst championship at an invitational in two years.

“It was pretty awesome,” George said. “We had taken third two years in a row. For me, I was unbelievably excited. I think it meant more to me than the kids because I’ve wanted it for the past fi ve years and we fi nally got it. It was a weight off our shoul-ders that we fi nally got the meet.”

Lake’s boys and girls took second at the Liberty Center Invitational on April 19, behind the host Tigers. The LC meet was comprised of eight boys’ teams and seven girls teams and included schools such as Bowsher, Maumee, Rossford and Delta.

On May 3, at their second straight Golden Bear Invitational, this time hosted by Bryan, both teams placed fourth.

George said Lake’s boys have been suc-cessful because of an infl ux of new runners and depth in most events.

“We have a couple new runners who haven’t run before and have come into the season and soaked it up like a sponge,” George said. “Brandyn Neal is a sophomore and this is his fi rst year running track, and he’s running one of the best 400 times in the area. We have a very well-rounded team. We have top guys in every area.”

George said Scott Brittenham has been a strong leader while competing in the 800, 1600, 4x400 and 4x800. Brittenham and Neal have formed a good one-two punch.

“There have been multiple times where Scott and Brandon, every time they’ve run (well), the team has taken fi rst,” George said. “It’s pretty exciting to see. We’ve been real lucky with some of the freshman runners. Brandon Knierim is one of them. He has ex-celled in the 200, 400, 4x200 and 4x400.”

At Bryan in the 200, Knierim crossed the fi nished line in 24.3 seconds to place fi rst. Sprinters Marcel Bryan, a junior, and senior Storm Lutz have scored points in

Lake, Oak Harbor track teams achieving new heights several areas. Lutz is Lake’s top thrower, and Bryan also competes in the long jump and sprint relays.

“Storm was behind some really good throwers the last couple years,” George said. “He’s having a really good season. He’s PR’d in the 100 and shot this year, and he’s part of a 4x100 team that’s had a lot of success. Marcel is having a good season. He runs on the 4x200 and I’m not sure we’ve lost in that relay other than against Eastwood, unless we’ve dropped the baton.”

Senior Orfrancis Ozuna is the Flyers’ top 3,200 runner, and he is also on the 4x800 relay.

“He’s one of those kids where if you could do a fi ve-mile race, he would win it every time,” George said. “He’s working his butt off to get his 800 time down and work-ing on his speed. He gives you every ounce of energy every day.”

Senior team captain Tyler Rickman, a state cross country meet qualifi er last fall, has excelled in the 400, 4x800 and 4x400.

“He’s the glue to our 4x400 team,” George said. “He has taken fi rst and second in the mile and two-mile. Not too many kids can run those distances and have speed at the same time.” In Bryan, The 4x100 team of Marcel Bryan, Ncik Encalado, Lutz, and Brandon Short won in 46.63 seconds, beating a team from Ottawa-Glandorf by 1/20th of a sec-ond. Lake’s top hurdlers are juniors Nathan Herrera and Grant Blackburn.

State qualifi ers returnOn the girls’ side, the Flyers return two

runners who helped the 4x100 relay qualify to the state meet last year in senior Nicole Pennington and junior Jordan Taylor.

“They’re both part of the 4x100 and 4x200 this year,” George said. “Nicole runs the open 100 and the 200, and Jordan does the 400 and long jump. It’s nice to have them back. When you have kids who have made it to the highest level in the sport, they have a lot of swagger on the track. They lead the pack, take charge and they know what to do.”

Senior Sara Dabney, who played soft-ball up until this year, competes in the high jump, long jump, 400 and 4x400.

“She decided to run track and she’s leading the charge in the high jump,”

George said. “She’s taken fi rst, second or third at every meet.”

Another strong jumper has been soph-omore Kaleigh Schroeder, who also runs on the 4x100 and 4x200 relays.

Junior Katie Swartz specializes in the 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles and also runs on the 4x100 and 4x200. At Bryan, she fi n-ished in the 100 hurdles with a time of 17.4 seconds, beating Ottawa-Glandorf hurdler Melissa Knott by three-tenths of a second. She was also on the 4x100 relay team (54.09) with Schroeder, Taylor, and Pennington that won over a runner-up Defi ance team.

“Katie has taken top three in every invi-tational we’ve gone to in the 100 hurdles,” George said. “She’s much stronger in the 100 hurdles and is an asset in the 4x100 and 4x200. She helps out a lot there. We have four strong runners in both those relays.”

George called freshman Alyx Fisher, the team’s second-best hurdler, his “utility player.” Fisher competes on the 4x400 relay and can also run any of the open sprints.

The Flyers’ top distance runner is freshman Abi Lovell, who runs the 4x800 and can also run the 800. Sophomore Marissa Boos runs the 800 and 1600 and is on the 4x800 relay.

“Marissa is one of those pieces on the 4x800 that keeps getting stronger,” George said. “It’s nice to have a couple girls who can score in distance. She’s been a real as-set to our team.”

Sophomore thrower Lauren Ozuk broke the school record in the shot (35-6) earlier this season.

George said, “It’s always good to have a kid like that, who will take top three in the shot every time.”

For Rockets, league title doableThe Oak Harbor boys track team is

heading into the Sandusky Bay Conference meet on a high note.

Boasted by a well-rounded lineup, Oak Harbor has fi nished in the top four at every major invitational. The Rockets have com-peted in seven invites this season, fi nish-ing fi rst twice, third four times and fourth once. The highlights include fi rst place fi nishes at the Ottawa County Invite and Patrick Henry Invite and a third place fi n-ish at the 16-team Lakota Invite.

That puts Oak Harbor in position at

an outside shot at winning the league and making noise in the postseason.

Under Coach Andy Augsburger, the Rockets have fi nished in the top half of the league in three of the last four seasons, highlighted by a third place fi nish in 2011.

This season’s Rockets are led by junior Cole Weirich, who is also a standout in football and a two-year letterman in basket-ball, Weirich has consistently fi nished at or near the top in the 100-meter dash, the 200, the long jump, the triple jump and the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 relay teams.

“I think we’re going to compete,” Weirich said of his team’s chances at the SBC meet. “I think we’re going to surprise people, once we get people healthy and get people back from the DECA trip. We’ve been working very, very hard. We want to win SBCs. We have people stepping up (and) fi lling spots.”

Augsburger, in his seventh season, says there are reasons for the team’s success.

“We have a great community of kids here that have taken ownership of the track and fi eld program,” he said. “Not only our kids, but our parents, too. Our kids have not only taken ownership of the program but also in (the weight room) and worked very hard. I feel like the junior class has joined the senior class with more of a leadership role and they’re starting to understand that this could be something special in the com-ing years. They’ve brought along some of the younger guys — Tyler (Sievert) and Tim (Poiry) have helped in bringing along Mark (Bodi) and Konnor (Fletcher) and Cole, Cliff (Biggert), Brandon (Schimming) have brought in guys like Isiah (Jefferson) and Andrew (Heberling).”

There seems to be an understanding at Oak Harbor that they’re all in it together.

“Points accumulate at the end of the meet and we’re all in this together,” Augsburger said. “Yes, track is an individ-ual sport, there are individual events, but the team is going to do well if we all work together.”

Weirich said, “Every place counts, even if it’s that one point. If you score one point, we can win by one point. That can decide fi rst or second place for any team at a meet.”
