News and Notes

June 3 - Div. III State Track and Field Meet (Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, Ohio State University) - The 1600 relay team knew what they had to do in the final event of the state meet to make the impossible - possible - win the state team title.  And, all the foursome did was lead most of the race and eventually finish second to cement the second state team title in school history.  Woodmore entered the final event in third place with 29 points - behind Norwayne (34 pts.) and Lucas 29.5), but neither Norwayne or Lucas had a team in the relay.  So, the Wildcats needed five points to tie Norwayne or six to win the team title.  Minster was the only other team within striking distance sitting at 26 points with a team in the relay.  The relay team of senior Rahzia Rios, junior Emma Hammer, senior Olivia Vogelpohl, and junior Azure Travis left no doubt running 3:56.29, eclipsing their school record of 3:57.37 they ran in the regional meet last week to qualify for the state meet.  With second-place points in the relay, Woodmore ended the meet with 37 team points while Norwayne finished with 34 points.  The only previous state title for the Wildcats girls program came in 1993 when they shared the team title with Middletown Fenwick, both with 34 team points.  The drama in the relay, was set up earlier in the day when Travis scored 20 points and Hammer added five points in the 800.  Travis became the first Woodmore state champion since Carly Pendleton won the discus competition in the 2011 state meet.  Travis began her day winning the first event of the day, the 100 hurdles, in a time of 14.42, which bettered her school record of 14.44 set in the league meet this season.  She then came back in the 300 hurdles, running in lane nine after falling in the prelims to barely make the finals, and ran 43.82 to win her second state title of the day.  The time eclipsed her school record time of 44.60 she set in finishing fourth in last year's 300 hurdle event at the state meet.  Hammer earned five very important points by placing fourth in the 800 with a time of 2:17.26, setting the stage for the 1600 relay group.  The Wildcats had runners in two other events on the final day, who just missed placing.  Rios was ninth in the 400 with a time of 59.82 and Vogelpohl was 10th in the 1600 with a time of 5:15.27.  The two state titles by Travis push the Wildcat girls' total to 15 state titles by an individual or relay.

June 2 - Div. III State Track and Field Meet (Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, Ohio State University) - The Wildcat track and field team placed its 3200 relay team in the only running event final on the first day of the state track meet and all athletes who ran in a prelim advanced to the finals.  The 3200 relay team of junior Emma Hammer, junior Caydie Buchanan, senior Jordan Beam, and senior Olivia Vogelpohl came into the final with the fourth-fastest time in the field 18, and finished fifth to earn a spot on the podium (the top eight in each event final get on the podium and score team points).  The foursome ran a time of 9:46.15.  This is the third-straight year a Wildcat 3200 relay team has placed in the state meet.  In the prelims (the top two fastest in each heat and the next five fastest advance to finals) junior Azure Travis competed in both hurdle events and qualified for the finals in both events.  In the 100 hurdles, she won the first heat with a time of 14.582, which was the fastest time in the two heats.  In the 300 hurdles, she placed sixth in her heat, after hitting the final hurdle and falling, but her time of 47.17 was still good enough to get a spot in the final.  In another prelim, senior Rahzia Rios came in with the 10th-fastest time in the 400 and ran 59.49 to place fourth in her heat and advance to the final with the seventh fastest time in the prelims.  And, the 1600 relay team of Rios, Hammer, Vogelpohl, and Travis came into the prelim with the third-fastest time and finished third in their heat with a time of 4:02.64, which overall was fifth-fastest time and moved them into the finals.  In all, the Wildcats will have four different athletes in six event finals tomorrow in the final day of the state meet.  The schedule for the finals is as follows:
100 Hurdles (9:30) - Azure Travis (fastest time in the prelims)
1600 (10:05) - Olivia Vogelpohl (did not run a prelim - 11th fastest time of the 18 state qualifiers)
