Record-setting effort

Staff report

HUBER HEIGHTS — Fort Loramie’s boys 3200 relay team competed in the Wayne Invitational, which began Thursday night, putting the foursome of Alan Holdheide, Jake Rethman, and Tom and Joe Ballas up against some of the best competition they will see all season.

And not only did they take first place in the event, but they shattered the previous school record when they ran an 8:01.84. They broke that record by nearly seven seconds, the previous mark set in 2002 being 8:08.27.

In addition, they were close to the 8-minute even mark, a time that would put them in the Outdoor Nationals in North Carolina in mid-June.

They weren’t the only county/area track athletes to turn in impressive performances at Wayne.

Sidney High School freshman Ana Adams was third in the 3200 run, becoming the first runner in the county to break the 12-minute mark. Her time was 11:59.40 and it puts her atop the Track Honor Roll in the event.

Sidney’s Devan Rogers heaved the shot put a season’s-best 50-feet, 11.5 inches to take sixth place.

Minster had some excellent performances on Thursday, led by Jordyn Heitbrink, who cleared 5-5 in the high jump to take first place.

The 3200 relay team was second in 9:27.08, and Morgan Pohl was right behind Sidney’s Adams in fourth place in the 3200 run in 12:08.23.
