Personal bests and records set at State track meet
On Friday and Saturday six Oakwood high School athletes participated in the Ohio High School State Track meet at Jesse Owens Stadium at The Ohio State University.
On Friday under hot, humid and windy conditions the Jills 4x800m relay team of Julia Sizek, Kelsey McDonald, Ericha Griep and Lucy Shafer ran to an seventh place finish. Later in the afternoon, Kelsey McDonald ran the 400m run in 58.81 seconds, fast enough to qualify for the finals on Saturday. The 4x400m relay team of Lucy Shafer, Ericha Griep, Hayley Basnett and Kelsey McDonald finished with the thirteenth fastest time in the semifinals and did not qualify for the finals on Saturday.
On the final day of the competition, Kelsey McDonald ran a strong home stretch to cross the line in seventh place with a personal best of 58.08 second. In the 800m run, Lucy Shafer ran to a ninth place finish with a 2:19.83. Julia Sizek ran a tactical 3200m race staying with the leaders for the first 1600m and then closing out the race with a strong final 400 meters to finish third edging out the fourth place finisher by four one-hundredths of a second. Sizek ran a personal best 11:14.11 setting an OHS girls record for the 3200m run.
The only qualifier for the Jacks, Peter Hix, ran a great race and was in the top three down the home stretch, but stumbled and fell. He finished fifteenth overall.
The Oakwood High School Track Team would like to thank their coaches, Mark Stiver, Paul Buford, David Dobson, Dean Harmony and Carla Greene for another great season.
