What happened: Wadsworth set a boys all-division record in the 4x800-meter relay, winning in 7:39.72, taking 1.45 seconds off the mark set by Cleveland Heights in 2007. Magnificat was second in the girls 4x800 and Medina placed third. Glenville standout Latwan Anderson (knee) pulled up in the 400 and failed to advance, but the Tarblooders still are in the boys team race.
The stars: The Grizzlies' 4x800 record setters were senior Jacob Sussman, senior Aaron Tipton, junior Russ McCune and senior Jake Hiltner. Glenville junior Shane Wynn advanced in the 100, and he and Quincy Downing were on all three relays that advanced. St. Edward senior Seth Cunningham advanced in four events: 100, 200 and two relays. Buchtel's Kachay Hullum was the top qualifier in the girls 400, and advanced in the 200 and the 4x200.
Notable: Somehow, it didn't rain. There were rain delays at state baseball to the south of Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium and at the Memorial golf tournament in Dublin, north of Columbus, but the storms missed the state track meet.
