At the Division V Jesse Owens State Track and Field Championships in Columbus, Collin Perry of Buckeye Central and Ivan Pirnstill of Bucyrus earned bronze medals in their respective events. Perry secured third place in the long jump with a leap of 22-6, while Pirnstill cleared 14-8 in the pole vault. Both athletes exceeded their seeded positions, with Perry advancing to finals in both the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes. This marks a notable achievement for Pirnstill, who set a new school record and made a significant improvement from last year when he did not progress past the district level.
