LANCASTER — Riverdale and Upper Sandusky both sent qualifiers to compete in the state junior high track and field meet recently held at Lancaster High School. Upper Sandusky Elexys Miller just missed placing in the girls high jump, finishing ninth by clearing 4-11. Two other competitors had the same height but finished higher based on fewer misses.

Upper Sandusky’s Scott Emerick was named the coach of the year in Division III, and two of his players are part of the first-team All-District 9 baseball team announced Monday. The Rams’ Jason Holly and Brenyn Marquart were voted to the first team in District 9, along with Wynford’s Noah Smith. Mohawk’s Cole Widmer received first-team honors in Division IV.

The Andersons rolled past Westbrook Assisted Living 11-1 in a girls slowpitch softball game Thursday.

Sunday with mostly clear skies, a burst of rain and a dose of wind, Wynford celebrated a new chapter for the district while also looking back and thanking those who came before. At the official groundbreaking ceremony for the new Junior High and High School building, Wynford Students, alumni, administration, faculty and staff, community members and elected officials gathered to signify the start of what will be a year and a half long project, a $10.5 million project that Superintendent Fred Fox said would not be possible without Wynford’s strong support system.

BUCYRUS — Carey, Mohawk and Wynford all qualified a slew of individuals and relays for regionals in the conclusion of the Division III district track and field meet Saturday at Bucyrus. Athletes who finished in the top four in districts extended their season as qualifiers for this week’s regional meet.

FINDLAY — Riverdale qualified for regionals in four events and just missed with fifth-place finishes nine times in the Division III district meet Saturday at Findlay. The Falcons girls 3200 relay team of Kendra Collier, Makena Barnes, Juleigha Collier and Paige Rothlisberger qualified for regionals with a fourth-place district finish in 10:53.43 on the first day of the meet Thursday, and Tayler Ashburn also qualified that day by taking second in the high jump at 5-0. Ashburn qualified Saturday in the long jump by finishing fourth at 15-1.5, and Eli Weber had a third-place finish in 4:44.23 in the 1600 run.

After vowing to beat his brother Cody in a good-hearted sibling rivalry, Trevor Clifford, a senior at Upper Sandusky High School, takes a second-place finish in the Tammy Clifford Memorial 5K at the Upper Sandusky Reservoir on Saturday with a time of 20:28.

CAREY — With just one regular season game remaining, Carey could have played like Saturday’s game did not matter. That was not the case. The Blue Devils closed out the season with a 4-0 baseball victory against Bucyrus.

KANSAS — Mohawk won in dramatic fashion twice Saturday, completing an 11-10 victory in nine innings and then scoring twice in the seventh inning to beat Lakota 3-2 in nonconference baseball action. The Warriors (18-6) and Raiders began the first game May 2 at Mohawk with the game stopped because of darkness tied at 10 after eight innings. The game, scheduled to be played at Lakota, was moved to Mohawk because of wet field conditions.
