OHS Boys Track - Top Performers - Mercer County Invite
OHS Boys Track had standout performances at the Mercer County Invite after finally getting some nice weather and fast competition! The 4x100m Relay team consisting of Will Maher, Cash Duhs, Lance Moore and Owen Voorhees set a new school record of 44.22, breaking a 42 year old record by over half a second. The previous record was set in 1983. This time was also a state qualifying standard, setting the team up nicely for sectionals in three weeks.
Cameron Engstrom had a big showing in the jumps setting two personal records. He placed 3rd in the triple jump hitting a mark of 11.73m or 38 '6 " breaking his previous personal best by over half a foot. He also improved his long jump to 18’8.75” placing 5th. Cameron is currently ranked 7th at the Rockridge Sectional.
Also adding an honorable mention to our throwers who stepped out of their comfort zones and up to the challenge of the Throwers 4x100m relay. The group consisting of three sophomores and one senior (Kade Cirks, Chance Reid, Joe Border and Chase Hixson) placed 2nd overall with a time of 51.19.




A 42yr old record has been broken for the OHS Track Team! This past Tuesday April 29th at the Mercer County Invite, our boys 4x100 team ran a 44.22, setting a new school record! Congratulations to Will Maher, Cash Duhs, Lance Moore, and Owen Voorhees!

OHS Boys Track - Top Performers - Rockridge Invite
Aaron Mohr picked up a new event with the triple jump and started strong with a performance placing him 3rd overall. The triple jump is a challenging event to pick up in a short time and Aaron jumped 37’1.25.” Aaron is one of many athletes showing the depth of the team right now, which is crucial as they approach conference and sectionals.
Dayne Gibbons secured two 1st place medals in the 400m dash as well as the 4x100m relay. His 400m time was 52.09, which is only .17 away from the state qualifying standard. Dayne also anchored in the 4x400m relay, placing second overall.
