Shenandoah, Meadowbrook standouts lead effort at state cross country
OBETZ − Some legends take years to build; others spend four years cementing their status in stone. Shenandoah senior Ida Estadt carved her name even deeper in the area high school cross country record books on Saturday, Nov. 7 to highlight a standout area contingent at the historic 98th annual boys and 49th annual girls OHSAA State Cross Country Championships at Fortress Obetz & Memorial Park. Estadt led a powerhouse local group of four total All-Ohio recipients by shattering her own school record with a blistering time of 18:14.5 to capture third place overall in the girls Division IV race, capping a decorated career with her third state podium finish in four years. Setting a new standard for the Colts Estadt wasn't the only local runner rewriting record books on the OHSAA big stage. Meadowbrook sophomore Vincent Campbell delivered an strong performance in the boys Division III action, recording a time of 15:10.9 to place fifth overall. Campbell's blazing time set a new school record, and secured the best state finish in Meadowbrook history, and made him the Colts' first All-Ohio recipient since 1992.

Liberty Center team title, 3 individual wins highlight area performances at OHSAA girls cross country state meet
OBETZ, Ohio — Individual winners, team titles, and historic program moments happened for area teams at the OHSAA girls cross country state championships at Fortress Obetz and Memorial Park on Saturday. Southview’s Julia Bocik, Napoleon’s Gwen Huddle, and Ottawa Hills’ Natalie Nixon earned individual championships in Division II, Division III, and Division IV, highlighting the best of local individual results. Liberty Center won the D-IV team title with 112 points. Nobody came close to Huddle (17:35.7), who had nearly an 18-second gap ahead of Marlington’s Irelyn Johnson in second place (17:53.5). In her junior season, Huddle previously posted the Ohio’s best girls’ time this season at districts (17:05.5). “Pressure is a privilege. Pressure makes diamonds,” Huddle said. “I’m just taking it in right now, and I’m going to keep staying hungry for the next year, and I’m ready to one-up what I did this year, and am excited for what’s to come.” Both Huddle and Bocik were the lone representatives for their respective schools. A sophomore, Bocik said she entered each race this season confident. That confidence fueled district and state title-winning efforts. Shortly after finishing in 17:37.7, the weight of the moment had yet to set in for Bocik.
