The top 3 in the shot were Ashland, Lexington, Wooster - which could make for an interesting league meet.

On the girls' side of the meet - the top discus throw was 106' 1" (Wooster sophomore) followed with a 90' 10" for second place. The top shot put was 32'10" followed by a tie 31' 10.75"

Some unreal performances at Mehock today. Jones from Canal Winchester took the discus with a heave of 180' 6 beating Amstutz from Ashland by a mere 2 INCHES. Amstutz won the shot with a 59 foot effort.
On the girls side a Canadian girl broke both shot and disc records with a 46' 5 and a 155' 8. Her teammate was runner up in both with 45' 9 and 142' 2. It was damned impressive to watch. The top American performances were 40' 3 in shot and 141' 7 in disc by a girl from Mich.

[picabo]

Wow Galion! Those would be some awesome throws to witness!

[Buckeye2b]

I gotta check where the Michigan girl is from. If it's close, I might make it to a meet just for the throws.

Looks like the other side of the state. Oh well..

[Buckeye2b]

Thanks for the league results.

[tigeralum01]

Seems like a pretty down year on the boys side.

[unc4life]

Amstutz from Ashland won both throw events at the OCC meet on Friday. He broke the meet record in the shot put 57 feet 11 3/4 inches and the discus at 180-0 feet. Should be on a strait line to state if he can keep that up.

[picabo]

Looking at the results from the district meets around the state . . . it is frustrating to see the number of athletes left out in one area, due to the way the state handles the regional qualifiers. I don't know if there is anyway to fix it. Just going to vent for a moment.

Example - girls' discus - Div 1

In the St. Francis district, the top throw was 147'9", but the next three throws all qualifying for regionals included 101, 99, and 86'10".
In the Columbian district, the top throw was 132'10" and the fourth qualifier was 112'10".
Moving south,the Hilliard area had throws in the 120's qualify.
In the Dayton district the top throw was 120'2" and the fourth qualifier was 97'1".
Moving northeast, Brunswick had a top throw of 158'9" while their fourth qualifier was 115'3".
The Mayfield district had a top throw of 119'2" and the fourth qualifier was 107'2".

It is just sad that there are girls in the state who threw very well, who will not advance simply because they were not top four in their district, while there are girls that threw an 80 or 90 who will advance. I know the number is small - but if I were that thrower or coach - I would find it very frustrating.

[galion]

In D3 the girl from McComb went 165-8 and 49-8.

To your point, I've always wanted to see some type of system implemented similar to college where you can have qualifying marks. Unfortunately, unlike in in college all meets are not run or staffed the same way. There would have to be some sort of uniform standards met in this area first. With automated timing in most of the major meets I feel like the whole district/regional set up is out of date. It's primary purpose now is to generate revenue for the OHSAA. They could easily take the top 32 performers in each event for all 3 divisions and have a 4 or 5 day meet in Columbus to settle the whole thing.

[picabo]

I like the idea of the qualifying mark. There have been some amazing throws this year, by both girls and boys, in all divisions.
It was fun to watch the competition between Amstutz (Ashland) and Lane (Bowling Green) at the Columbian district. They will surely entertain on the road to Columbus.

[galion]

The girls D3 region at Tiffin will be an entertaining one to watch as well. So will the D2 region in Austintowm-Fitch With the 2 time defending state discus champion going up against last years runner up.

This is a very good idea.  Considering the computer age, it wouldn't be hard to put together...

[unc4life]

Ashland's Amstutz threw a 185'7 last night in the discus to win and move on to state. I'm not 100% but I think that is the top mark in the state this year.

[picabo]

The kid is fun to watch! He needed to throw it to take first, and he did. I am looking forward to seeing his mark in the shot as well. He should definitely place in both at state, if not win them both.

[galion]

A kid from napolean went 200 but he is d2 so they won't be throwing against each other at state

[picabo]

Was that earlier in the season that he threw 200? I see that Meece from Napoleon threw a 177'11" to win the regional at Piqua. Last year at the same meet, he set the meet record with a throw of 187'9". His throw this year was 30 feet better than the 2nd place, and 15 - 20 feet better than any of the other D2 regional meets.

It would be fun to see Meece and Amstutz go up against each other - two terrific throwers. I imagine their competiveness would bring out the best in each other.
