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.

Families Gather For Hearty Meals At The Barn Restaurant At Sauder Village In Archbold, Ohio

Some families drive 90 miles for lunch, and they do it a few times a year. That kind of loyalty says a lot about a place in the farm country of northwest Ohio near Archbold. The draw is simple: a homestyle buffet, a salad bar, homemade soups, and a rustic room where grandparents, parents, and little ones all share one table. Father’s Day crowds show up here, Mother’s Day crowds show up here, and road trippers make a point of stopping whenever they pass through.

OBETZ, Ohio — A trip to the OHSAA boys cross country championships provided a breakthrough moment for the Bowling Green program, which captured its first-ever state title on Saturday. In Division II, one point separated Bowling Green (181) from second-place Lexington (182). Paced by Lloyd Waldron (15:58.0), Rece Simon (15:59.7), and Sam Wiles (16:00.02), the Bobcats’ top three finished 25th, 26th, and 27th. “We knew we were going to be ranked first, and that we had a very good chance, since we got second last year,” Waldron said. “Knowing we looked at the coaches' poll every week, the rankings every week, we’ve known that we’re going to be a contender, but it always came down to today and this time. It’s the passion that we have for the sport, and how much we love running as a pack and staying together as an elite group.” Waldron, Simon, and Wiles have been staples for the Bobcats. Each earned first-team selections in the Northern Lakes League Cardinal Division and played a part in delivering a fourth straight league title, along with the state championship.
