COLUMBUS — Mohawk sophomore Destini Oler’s regional race produced her best 800 run result by far this season, so the goal was for her to repeat it Saturday in the Division III state race. She did so almost exactly, but it was not quite enough to earn a spot on the podium.

COLUMBUS — A good start was key to the Carey boys 3200 relay Friday at the state track and field meet at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of Ohio State University.

COLUMBUS — For the second year in a row, Riverdale’s Carrol Pauley is an All-Ohioan in Division III in the discus with a fourth-place finish Friday in the state meet at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

COLUMBUS — The Division II 300 hurdles semifinals at the state track and field meet did not go well for Chase Barnett. He started in innermost lane No. 1, stayed behind the field in the first 100, failed to make up ground on a short turn and appeared to lose some steam down the stretch.
