Soaring sophomore By KEVIN YANIK Sports Writer COLUMBUS ? If the NCAA offered a 600-meter hurdle race, Ohio State coach Robert Gary would be the first to enter one of his runners. And his choice would be junior Elon Simms, a graduate of Fremont Ross. ?I think he could really concentrate on the 400 and be pretty darn good,? Gary said. ?He?s run some great legs on the [1600] relay. He wants to focus on the 800 indoors; he only ran it twice this year, and he ran a 1:51 the first time. Cont... |

I keep braggin about the Ohio's state records and the track times at annual meets to these fellas in Jersey...
My youngest ran hurdles and the 200... and was very impressed with the kids that won our regional meet in the highs... yes, they were pretty good but I think 14.0 won the highs in the region... So I looked up Ohio's times... hoping to find Larry Poole from Garfield back in the early 70s when I watched him run a 13.6 (and still weighed 225) at Kent... saw Ginn's outrageous times... something like a 13.3 Then I looked up Jersey's... and the record is 12. 9 !!!! Nehemiah went to school in north Jersey... HS coach made him run college height in meets then added three more inches to keep him challenged... |

All signs pointing up State champ Jared Hall aims for team title for the Tigers Thursday, March 20, 2008Carl Matzelle Plain Dealer Reporter When the time comes for Jared Hall to reflect on his track career, the Cleveland Heights senior and Ohio State recruit said he'd be proud to possibly be mentioned among stars such as Jesse Owens. "They [Ohio State] don't have to name a stadium after me," Hall chuckled, referring to the former Buckeyes legend who won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics. "But everybody knows about Jesse Owens, what he accomplished, what he stood for. I admire him." But Hall, the defending Division I 800-meters state champion, might well be playing soccer instead of blazing by track opponents if not for Tigers coach Claude Holland, who noticed Hall running during an eighth-grade soccer practice at Roxboro Elementary School.
