Dumford doubles fun at state meet By FRANK DiRENNA THISWEEKSPORTS.COM

North’s Jacob Dumford celebrates after crossing the finish line to win the 3,200-meter relay during the Division I state meet June 7 at Ohio State. CHRIS PARKER/THISWEEKSPORTS

Westerville North High School track and field coach Johnny Jackson doesn’t hesitate to say that senior Jacob Dumford has left his mark on the boys program. Dumford, a four-year standout, capped his prep career by winning the 1,600 meters in 4 minutes, 8.21 seconds and anchoring the winning 3,200 relay (7:42.47) in the Division I state meet held June 7 and 8 at Ohio State. His time in the 1,600 set a Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium record. The previous mark of 4:08.41 was set by Sandusky Perkins’ Corey Leslie in 2007. Bob Kennedy, a 1988 North graduate, holds the Division I state meet and program record of 4:05.13, which he set as a senior. He was a two-time member of the U.S. Olympic team, placing sixth in the 5,000 (13:12.35) in 1992 in Barcelona, Spain, and finishing 12th in the same event (13:39.72) in 1996 in Atlanta. “Jacob set a stadium record (in the 1,600) and the only person at North ever to run better than him was an Olympian who has the state record,” Jackson said, referring to Kennedy. “Jacob has definitely left his mark, but he’s an outstanding athlete because he can do the (400), (1,600) and

Wildcats’ 800 relay takes seventh at state meet By FRANK DiRENNA THISWEEKSPORTS.COM Westerville South High School girls track and field coach Jimmy Gaul watched proudly as members of his 800-meter relay stood on the awards podium in the Division I state meet held June 7 and 8 at Ohio State. Despite the fact that only one of the four runners had previous state

experience, the relay of juniors Amaria Estes and Tara Thompson, sophomore Paichence Carter and freshman Chasatea’ Brown placed seventh in 1 minute, 43.2 seconds behind champion Solon (1:40.17). Thompson, who ran the anchor leg, had competed at state last year as a member of the 800 relay that finished 11th (1:44.67). The rest of the relay consisted of 2012 graduates Nikia

Buckingham, Alex Hall and Leija Harris. “Tara is the only one that had any experience out here running last year in the (800 relay),” Gaul said. “Everyone else did a fantastic job of overcoming the spectacle of the state meet, the crowd and all the jitters that go along with it.” South finished 10th in the preliminaries for the 800 relay, one spot shy

of qualifying for the final. However, the Wildcats moved on to the final after the team that finished ninth, Troy, was disqualified. “It took a little bit of luck for us to get in (the final) with a team being disqualified and starting in lane nine, but all we wanted was a chance all season long and we got that chance and made the most of it,” Gaul said. “I’m very proud of them.”

“We wanted to get on the podium so bad last year,” Thompson said. “We came in and we got empty handed. We weren’t even supposed to make it to the finals (this season), but we got lucky. We wanted to get on the podium and we did.” Brown also competed at state in two individual events, placing sev-

enth in the long jump (17 feet, 3 inches) behind champion Olivia Small of Big Walnut (19-8 3/4) and finishing 11th in the 300 hurdles (45.6) behind champion Taylor McDonald of Macedonia Nordonia (42.3). “Chasatea’is amazing,” Gaul said. “She’s a special talent. I’m very proud of her and the way she worked this season and how excited she is to want to get better and better every day.” The Wildcats scored three points at state to tie eight other teams for 55th behind champion Solon (47) as 74 teams scored.

Sandvik leads way for North at state

North was led at state by sophomore Heather Sandvik, who competed in two individual events and on a relay in her first state appearance. Sandvik was 10th in the 1,600 (5:06.28) behind champion Sydney Leiher of Beavercreek (4:51.23) and finished 11th in the 3,200 (11:32.76) behind champion Annie Heffernan of Cincinnati St. Ursula (10:41.91). Heffernan’s time was a Division I state meet record. Sandvik also ran the anchor

leg on the 3,200 relay that placed seventh (9:24.62) behind champion Mason (9:11.06). Also on the relay were senior Heidi Engelhardt and sophomores Haley Sandvik and Jocelyn Sharpe. “We had a good day for the girls,” coach Johnny Jackson said. “This is the first time the

girls have gotten back to the state in anything since 2006. This is the first time that the (3,200 relay) has been back and medaled since 1998.” The Warriors scored two points at state to tie five teams for 64th. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com

Westerville boat takes 11th at nationals The Westerville high school club rowing team’s boys lightweight 4 finished 11th in the USRowing Youth Nationals regatta held June 7-9 on Melton Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

Mason (7:45.96). Larrick gave the Warriors the lead while running the third leg of the race and Dumford, who ran the anchor leg, pulled away from Mason’s Ethan Valentine. Dumford, who will run at the University of Notre Dame, also competed at state in the 800, placing third (1:52.85) behind Newark’s Anthony Johnson (1:51.58) and Reynoldsburg’s Dominik Seitzer (1:52.49). “I’m really happy with the way things went,” Dumford said. “I didn’t expect to run nearly as fast as I did in the (1,600) and I feel really good about how I ran, and then to come back and have a strong run in the (800) – even though I didn’t win – I feel really good about it because (4.08.21 in the 1,600) and (1:52.85 in the 800) is by far the best double I’ve ever done.” Also competing at state for the Warriors were senior Kent Ford, who placed fourth in the 3,200 (9:11.07) behind champion Sam Wharton of Tipp City Tippecanoe (8:56.61), and Chatel, who finished 11th in the 1,600 (4:16.9). “I’ve come a long way since my freshman year,” said Ford, who has committed to Miami University. “I ran 11:26 (as a freshman), so the 9:11 I just ran is definitely a huge comeback.” The Warriors scored 31 points at state to finish fourth behind Lakewood St. Edward (62), Pickerington North (47) and Mason (39) as 62 teams scored.

Central’s Moushey vaults to second place

Senior Charlie Moushey had the top finish at state for Central, placing second in the pole vault in 15 feet, 9 inches. Middleburg Heights Midpark’s Aaron Owens won the event (16-0). “I was just glad to be able to go up against (Owens) throughout high school,” Moushey said. “It was awesome having someone to compete with.” Moushey, who has committed to the University of Kentucky, finished fourth (15-4) at state last season behind champion and state recordholder Jake Blankenship of Gahanna (17-2). Owens was runner-up a year ago (15-8). “Charlie was super close to winning that (state title) a couple different times,” coach

(June 8) as we looked (June 7),” Loughman said of the 800 relay. “We looked a little sluggish, but for these guys to get to the final was a great accomplishment for them. My heart really broke for those guys. I know they really wanted to get on the podium (and) just missing that was tough. I don’t want to overlook the work and body of the whole season. They had a great season and to get here was awesome.” The Warhawks scored 10 points to tie Newark for 21st.

South’s Dahome competes at state

Richard Dahome was the lone representative for South at state, finishing 15th in the 110 hurdles (15.15). The senior advanced to state despite battling a muscle injury in his back throughout the season. “It was definitely a great experience. I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” Dahome said. “It was just unfortunate that I got a back injury, but I have to look past that. I am so grateful for being here and grateful for getting this opportunity.” Dahome will compete for Kent State University. “I’m very proud of the career that Richard had and the steps that he took his junior and senior years, especially to just grow as a hurdler and leader and allaround track athlete,” coach Jimmy Gaul said. “The goal the entire season was to make it here to Jesse Owens.”

Jason Loughman said. “The thing I stressed to Charlie was he didn’t underachieve (at state). He had one of the best days of vaulting. It just wasn’t good enough to win it, but state runner-up is something to be really proud of. I’m extremely happy for him. He had a heck of a season.” Junior David Hatchett competed in two individual events at state, finishing seventh in the 200 (22.1) and 10th in the 100 (10.77). “I’m very happy,” he said. “I didn’t expect anything. I just wanted to get on the (awards) podium (by finishing in the top eight).” Also at state, the 800 relay of Moushey, Hatchett, junior Eldin Anu and sophomore Joshua Beaumont finished ninth (1:29.15). “We just didn’t look as sharp fdirenna@thisweeknews.com

DeSales Roundup

Boys relay takes eighth at state By DAVE PURPURA THISWEEKSPORTS.COM

Three members of the DeSales High School boys track and field team’s 400meter relay swore junior Taz Collins was the key to their postseason success. Collins, who replaced junior Sayyid Kanu on the relay last month after Kanu was sidelined with a hamstring injury, didn’t agree with that assessment after teaming with seniors Breyon Bowman, Tristan Caldwell and LaShaun Sanders to place eighth in 43.3 seconds in the Division II state meet held June 7 and 8 at Ohio State. “Taz really came through,” said Bowman, the relay’s anchor. “It’s his first year of running track. When Sayyid was hurt, Taz stepped in and fit right in. (Kanu) was sup-

posed to be on the (400 relay). We put Taz in to experiment, and we found the right combination that worked.” Collins ran the lead leg. “I just felt like if we put our mind to it, we could do it,” he said. “Anything could happen. I didn’t think I was the guy who made it work.” Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary won the state title in the 400 relay (42.26). DeSales finished .16 of a second behind the fifthplace finisher, Chagrin Falls (43.14). Also at state, the 800 relay of Bowman, Sanders, senior Tyler West and Caldwell finished 11th (1:30.97), as the Stallions scored one point to tie 10 teams for 63rd behind champion St. Vincent-St. Mary (49) as 73 teams scored. “The (400 relay) wasn’t the race that was supposed to make it (to the final),” Sanders said.

“We thought we would go in the (800 relay). That was going to be our bread-and-butter race. We hoped we’d repeat in the (1,600 relay, which placed eighth at state last year), but the (400 relay) just sort of came out of nowhere. Things just took care of themselves, I guess.” Competing in the Division I meet for the girls team was the 800 relay, which finished 12th (1:45.12). The relay, which was comprised of seniors Leah Selmek and Sierra Mergliano and juniors Erin Kuisti and Ashli Pope, entered state with the second-slowest qualifying time (1:43.95) of the 16 teams. “You know you’re going in against some pretty hard times to beat, but we came together and I think we ran our hearts out today,” Mergliano said. “The beginning of this year,

since we’ve been together, we knew we could do this. Up to districts, we put our game face on and that was the beginning of our journey. We planned on being right here today and we knew we had the potential to make it. We’re satisfied that we’ve made it

Commentary

Baseball coaches go to bat for Cards’Gussler Those who follow high school baseball in central Ohio should not be surprised by the tight bond within the coaching fraternity. Even though winning is the ultimate goal, the coaches cherish the friendships within their group. And when a member of their fraternity is in need, others are quick to respond. That closeness is evident in the battle Thomas Worthington coach Stephen Gussler is fighting. Gussler, who recently completed his 16th season lead-

ing the Cardinals, was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer more than three years ago and has FRANK received supDIRENNA port from his coaching peers ever since. ‘“Guss’ has always been there for kids,” Dublin Jerome coach Chris Huesman said. “He’s just one of those great guys that you come across every so often in high school

baseball. It just makes it tough to hear what he’s going through. He’s been a champion for kids for quite some time.” Despite Gussler’s declining health, the Cardinals have been among the top Division I teams in the area in recent years. This spring, they finished 24-7 and won their second consecutive district and OCC-Central Division titles. Their season ended with a 1513 loss to Hilliard Darby in a regional semifinal May 30. “He knows the game better than anyone I’ve ever met

before,” Cardinals senior second baseman Sean Lima said. “He knows what other coaches are going to do and what’s going to happen before anyone else does.” Gussler recently was named Division I state Coach of the Year by the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association. “In a situation like that, all of us (coaches) were looking for different ways to recognize him,” said Grove City coach Ryan Alexander, who nominated Gussler for the award. “We thought ‘Guss’ deserved it. He may not always

What he’s done for the program ... is equally as impressive as what he’s doing for everybody in that whole community.” Gussler also was named OCC-Central Coach of the Year and was inducted into the Central District Baseball Coaches Association hall of fame during the senior all-star game May 28 at Jerome. Dublin Coffman coach Tim Saunders, who serves as secretary and vice president of the CDBCA, nominated Gussler for the latter honor. The induction ceremony usually is held in the fall, but Saunders wanted to make sure Gussler was well enough to participate in it. “He’s a good coach and he’s just as good or a better person,” Saunders said. “He’s done a fabulous job over there at Thomas. He’s a baseball guy and the relationships he’s formed over the years with our coaches and the kids are great. He just has all the intangibles as far as being a good coach and a good person that you want around your kids. ... He was going to get in (the CDBCA hall of fame). It was just a matter of when. This was deserving.” According to Lima, Gussler would rather have his players recognized than have the attention focused on himself. “He’s really team first,” Lima said. “He doesn’t like personal accolades.

Boys lacrosse team falls in state semifinal

The boys lacrosse team got out to a slow start in a Division II state semifinal June 5 at Wilmington College and its opponent took advantage. The Stallions allowed four first-quarter goals on their way to a 16-9 loss to Cincinnati Mariemont and finished 11-5. Mariemont, which went on to beat Rocky River 10-6 in the state final June 8 at Upper Arlington to finish 15-6, had a 4-0 lead 9 minutes, 22 seconds into the game. DeSales carried the play in the second quarter, scoring four unanswered goals, including two by senior attacker J.T. Blubaugh, to cut its deficit to 7-5 with 4:09 left in the first half. However, Mariemont added a goal moments later for an 85 lead, and the Stallions would not get any closer. “(Mariemont) took advantage of some unsettled situations early,” coach Matt Triplet said. “They were whistle-ready and we got off to a slow start. We finally broke through some spots in their defense in the second quarter and got some things together.”

Sierra Mergliano of DeSales runs her leg of the 800-meter relay during the Division I state meet June 7 at Ohio State. The Stallions finished 12th. JOHN HULKENBERG/THISWEEKSPORTS

Blair Albright resigned as coach of the boys basketball team May 31 after leading the program for eight seasons. A 1997 DeSales graduate, he simultaneously described his decision to accept the coaching job at Kettering Fairmont as a tough decision and exciting challenge. “It’s a very bittersweet situation,” Albright said. “DeSales has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. I am very proud of what we have here. I knew this day would come eventually, but the stability of the (Kettering) district, the size of the school and that it’s a big public school in a onehorse town, so to speak, was very appealing.” Albright, who compiled a 156-60 overall record with the Stallions, including a 60-22 mark in the CCL, replaces Hank Bias, who resigned after 13 seasons. Albright’s hiring was expected to be approved

Feltz named coach of girls volleyball team

Last fall, the girls team finished 263, won its first CCL championship since 2004 and advanced to the Division II state tournament for the first time since 2004. The Stallions lost to eventual state champion Cleveland Heights Beaumont 25-19, 25-14, 17-25, 25-14 in a state semifinal. “I coached middle school girls volleyball in the fall at St. Paul (School in Westerville), so I know about half of the girls already,” Feltz said. “It’ll be a different challenge and I am looking forward to it. Rallies are longer (in girls volleyball), it’s more tactical and you have to be more diverse on offense.” Morgan compiled an 81-25 record, including a 20-14 mark in the CCL, in four seasons at DeSales.

Andy Feltz was introduced May 30 as girls volleyball coach, replacing Kelly Morgan. Feltz also coaches the boys volleyball team and is the only coach in that program’s five-year history. This spring, the Stallions finished 21-4 overall, won the inaugural CCL title and made their first state appearance, where they lost to Middletown Fenwick 25-22, 25-10, 25-20 in a Division II state semifinal May 25 at Cuyadpurpura@thisweeknews.com hoga Falls Walsh Jesuit.

der said. “At the end of the day, it’s not about wins and losses and things like that and coach of the year awards,” Huesman said. “It’s about getting him healthy and making sure his family is safe. At the end of the day, that’s all you really want for somebody. It’s neat to see how the Worthington community has rallied around him with the ‘GussStrong’ events that they do and it’s kind of neat to see how the Central District coaches have rallied around him as well and try to support him as best we could.”

I’m never going to forget this team the last two years. It’s been like the best experience of my life. I’m never going to forget this.” Thomas defeated Jerome 5-2 in a district semifinal May 21 and beat Grove City 8-2 in a district final that was completed May 24. Neither Huesman nor Alexander mind his team’s season came to an end against the Cardinals. “All of our coaching staff said the same thing, ‘If there was a time you’d be cool with losing, I guess it would be losing to ‘Guss’ while he was making that (tournament) run,’” Alexan- fdirenna@thisweeknews.com
