Neff, Henry, Mays win state indoor T&F titles
After last weekend’s state indoor track and field meet at the University of Akron, a new label fits area Division I boys: Good as ever.
Vandalia Butler’s Danny Neff swept his specialties, William Henry of Trotwood-Madison served notice he can’t be beat and Northmont’s Mark Mays has jets to burn.
All sped to first place in the boys meet on the 300-meter oval in Stile Athletics Field House. The boys and girls meets were sponsored by the Ohio Cross Country and Track Coaches Association on Saturday, March 21.
Neff won the 800 (1:53.49) and 1,600 (4:12.38), with just 30 minutes of recovery between races. The defending state outdoor 1,600 champ is bound for the University of Georgia to run.
Henry was just as impressive in posting a meet record in the 400 (47.91). That places him seventh nationally according to DyeState.com, which tracks national times. He also was second in the 200 (22.09).
The junior capped his impressive run by anchoring the Rams’ 1,600 relay to another first (3:17.96). Joining him were Jordan Pascal, Ruby and Chad Nickerson. Trotwood’s qualifying 3:17.05 is the nation’s No. 2 time.
Mays led an impressive area-dominated lineup in the 60, outleaning Wayne’s Demoye Bogle 6.87 to 6.88 to win. Trotwood’s Tony Ruby was fourth and Terrance Glenn of Dunbar seventh.
Trotwood’s Dominique Reed also cleared 6 feet, 9 inches to place second in the high jump.
For the girls, Wayne’s Alexis Thomas captured the D-I weight throw (53-7.5) and Bethel’s Kylie Koop was best in the combined Divisions II-III long jump (16-11.75).
The boys and girls outdoor track and field seasons begin Saturday, March 28. The Versailles Lady Tiger Classique is annually the first major girls meet. The 12th annual meet is Saturday.
The 34th annual Versailles boys invite is Saturday, April 4.
Boys tennis, baseball and girls softball seasons begin Monday, March 30.
