Princeton boys win regional title lnjury hurts Vikings' shot at state title B.Y DAVE SCHUTTE E~quirer

contributor

DAYTON - The Princeton boys track team successfully defended its Division I regional track championship Saturday but may have lost any chance of claiming the state title because of a crucial injury.

While running the 1,600-meter relay, Fred Price pulled a groin muscle and the senior may be forced to withdraw from the state meet on Friday and Saturday in Columbus.

"We scratched Fred from the 200 because of a groin pull," Princeton coach Ken Meibers said.

Contemplating change After finishing third in both the 1,600 and 3,200 meters, Harrison senior Ernie Ziegler may change his plans at the state meet.

"I may drop out of the 1,600 at the state meet to concentrate on the 3,200," Ziegler, the defending 3,200 state champion, said.

Kick from the heart Colerain freshman Alison Zeinner captured the Division I 3200meter regional championship, winning the race during the final 100 meters.

"I don't usually have a good kick at the end," Zeinner said. "My teammates encouraged me. Everything I had came from the heart."

Happy Thomas Adam Thomas from Fairfield may have been the happiest athlete at Welcome Stadium after finally beating Ziegler in the 1,600 meters.

"This is the first time I've beaten Ziegler," Thomas said. ''In the district, it came down to the last 400 meters. This week I wanted it to be a 600-meter kick."

"I fe.el like I can go 6-10 to 7-0 which is the height some kids in Cleveland are jumping," Hurst said. "A lot of jumpers were complaining about the rain, but it didn't bother me. I just attacked the bar."

"I finished second at state the last two years," Ramsey said.

"This year it's my turn for first."

thought I was crazy for trying, and I had to prove I could do it."

Because of a strenuous eighthplace effort in the 1,600, Ziegler changed strategies for the 3,200 meters.

"I went out too fast in the 1,600 and had nothing left at the end," Ziegler said. "In the 3,200, I decided to drop back and run third the first four laps before going to the lead."

But, Fairborn's Chris Camfield, who beat Ziegler last week in the regional, remained two strides behind Ziegler until making a move with 300 meters remaining.

"When he came alongside me, I thought he would take the lead," Ziegler said. "My legs were h4rting, but I decided to go into a sprint and hope for the best."

Ziegler sprinted the final 100 meters to win by nearly four seconds.

Ziegler, who will run at Miami in September, was also out to fulfill a promise.

"My cross country coach Paul Nolan asked me to win it for him," Ziegler said. "He's been good to me, and I wanted to do it for him."

THOMAS' STRATEGY WORKS: When Adam Thomas woke up Saturday morning, the ' Fairfield junior knew this was going to be his day.

"I knew I was unbeatable today," Thomas said. "I didn't sleep much last night because I was planning the strategy for this race."

He planned right.

When Ziegler went out fast in the 1,600 meters, Thomas dropped in about three or four strides behind. With 700 meters remaining, Thomas made a strong move and was never threatened, running a career-best 4:15.76.

"The turning point for me came in the district meet when Ernie (Ziegler) beat me at the wire," Thomas said. "At that point I realized that he was human and that I could beat him."

There was one ritual that

Thomas didn't change.

"I eat a triple-deck peanut butter and jelly sandwich three hours before every race," Thomas said.

The third-place finisher at the Division I state cross country meet, Thomas plans to make a run at that title in November while attempting to repeat in the 1.600. in 1998.

PRINCETON WINS RELAY: .

Randall "Rock" Turner raised his arms up following the handoff of · the baton and started running toward the finish line.

"There are some things in life · · that you really want, and this wM one of them," Turner, a Princeton sprinter, said. "Winning the 400· meter relay is important to all of us. " Turner teamed with Anthony Carter, Ken Brown and Fred Price to win the premier relay event, . covering the distance in an out-· standing 42.69.

"All the guys ran well, but Randall was one of the keys in the race," Princeton coach Ken Mei. · hers said.

SLAGLE IMPRESSIVE: Clermont Northeastern junior Mark· Slagle finished fourth in the 110· high hurdles and second in the 300 ~ intermediate hurdles behind Ryan Grear of Barnesville.

"He hit a hurdle, and I took tht lead. And then I hit a hurdle. a:1c he took it back," Slagle said of th.: 300 hurdles. "I don't like lo>< :ng. but I like him (Grear). He's a q•nPt kid but gets the job done."

Slagle also ran in the Division 11 100 meters, which is contested 10 minutes after the 110 high hurdles, but placed eighth.

Slagle will attempt to qualify in four events next year, adding the long jump to the card.

"He's his own person and he has great self-esteem."

- Anthony Munoz on his son Michael

Another Munoz takes his best--------------------l shot BYTOM GROESCHEN The Cincinnati Enquirer

!

A

visitor to Moeller High School recently sought Michael Munoz, l~year-old son of retired Bengals star Anthony Munoz. The search was not exactly needle-in-thehaystack.

"You won't have any trouble finding him," Moeller track coach Jerry Korr:brinck said. "He looks just like his dad.''

Quite literally. iV:ichael Munm;, a Moeller freshman who is a top shot-putter and football (offensiw lint') prospeet, stands 6foot-6 and 275 pounds. His dad is 6foot-6 and played between 285 and 290 as a perennial All-Pro offensiw tackle with the Hengals from 1980.92.

Anthony had a mustache and large, eurly black hair in his Bengal heyday.

Mid:ad is a bit young for whiskers and has straight, short-<.'I"Opped black hair.

Otherwise, the resemblance is startling.

"Whm I was his age, I was only, 6foot rnd weighed about 215," Anthony said. 'The doctors said he's going to be bi,:mer than me. about 6-8 or 6-9."

Michael has carved his own niche this spring with a shot-put of 51 feet, 3ii inches, fifth best in Cincinnati. Anthony ~·c..s never a track and field man. having played football and baseball.

"Ee's identified (track) as his own thing, which I think is great," Anthony said. 'He's his own person, and he has great self-esteem."

Which is good, because Michael Munoz is saddled with the "Son Of A Famc·us Athlete" burden.

Hut this son, who now shares his dad's size 15 shoes, loves it.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Michael said. "I love being his son."

Friends do not give him much grief about his inherited fame, he said. "And if somebody does say something, I just try to make the best of it." !\1..ich like his deeply religious parents, Anthon/ and mother DeDe. Mirh:.ll'l approacht>s life with humility, optirrism and gentle good humor.

M .chael and his sistl'r,l'ighth-grddt·r Michellt•, are both star athletes. The f'>foot-11 :vtichelle's AI\C basketball tt•am finish~'<~ fourth in the nation last year.

Ar thony remains hiRhly \isible in t\w Trbtak on TV and billboard ads

for Fumiture Fair, Mt•ijt·r stores and kep. ''I'm sure the kids get tin.'{} of hearing I'm th~·ir father. but tht'Y realize it's part ofthe:r lives," he said. ''As a family we talk a :ot about it I>l'l >e and I work on encouraging them, but not pushing them.'

De De Munoz said the children have handled dad's fame wl'll.

"It's been a privilege to be their parents. I know that sounds kind of weird, but they're neat people.''

Michael is freshman class president at Moeller and carries first-honors status (90 average) academically. He also plays basketball.

He took up shot-putting and discus throwing this spring. He has thrown 135 feet in the discus, which is not among dty leaders but good for someone learning the ropes.

'There's more technique with the discus," Kombrinck said. "Imagine how good he11 be when he karns all the footwork. The great thing about track is there's no pressure on him like there might be in football."

In football, Michael has played both guard and tackle- when allowed to play. He was always too big for ag~ group teams, so the Moeller freshman team was his first full season of football.

Moeller football coach Steve Klonne, who has coached several All· Americans and eventual!':FL players, will not predict whether Michael can be tht• next, ahem, Anthony :>.1unoz.

"As a freshman he was a very dominating player because of his size, and he's fairly athletic," Klonne said. "He's going to be a very good playt•r. but we're just going to take it easy with him. I will say this, he has a competitive streak that bums."

Whm ht· was 3 years old, Michad was photographed wearing a "J{ecruited by Moeller" T-shirt. He has yet to reach the varsity, but like many youngsters he has pro dreams.

'The :\FL is my goal," he said, "but I can't expert to make it there on my fathds name."

Michad was bomjuly 31, 1981.

The Hl·ngals went to their first Super Howl six months later. Nearly 16 years later, Anthony is finally digibk for Hall of 1:</mw induction- he ~ill be a firstballotl·hukl' -and ~ichad ts eligible for the Modkr varsity. "'Ibe last time Michael was normal," his mother said, "was as a baby. He was eight pounds. Hut after six weeks he was way off the charts, and since then he's always been in the llOth percentile."

Just like dad.

/, ... %?,... ~· J· I

.

Visitor to Moeller High School recently so~ght Michael · ] \Munoz, 15-year-old son of retired Bengals star Anthony Munoz. The search was not exactly, needle-in-thehaystack. ·

1

"You won't have any trouble finding him," Moeller track coach Jerry Kombrinck said. "He looks just like his dad."

Quite literally.

Michael Munoz, a Moeller freshman who is a top shot-putter and foot~ ball (offensive line) prospect, stands 6foot-6 and 275 pounds. His dad is 6foot-6 and played between 285 and 290 as a perennial All-Pro offensive tackle with t11e Bengals from 1980-92.

Anthony had a mustache and large, curly black hair in his Bengal heyday.

Michael is a bit young for whiskers and has straight. short-cropped black hair.

Othe1wise, the resemblance is startling.

"When I was his age, I was only 6foot and weighed about 215," Anthony said. 'The doctors said he's going to be bigger.than me, about 6-8 or 6-9."

Michael has carved his own niche this spring witi) a shot-put of 51 feet, 3Yt inches, fifth best in Cincinnati Anthony was never a track and field man, having played football and baseball. "fie's identified (track) as his own thing, which I t11ink is great," Anthony said. "He's his own person, and he has great self-esteem."

Which is good, because Michael Munoz is saddled with the "Son Of A Famous Athlete" burden.

But this son. who now shares his dad's size 15 shoes, loves it.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Michael said. "I love being his son."

Friends do not give .him much grief about his· inherited fame. he said. "And if somebody does say something, I just try to make the best of it" Much like his deeply religious parents, Anthony and mother DeDe, Michael approaches life with humility, optimism and gentle good humor.

Michael and his sister, eighth-grader Michelle, art? both star athletes. The 5foot-11 Michelle's MU basketball team finished fourt11 in the nation last year.

Anthony remains highly visible in the Tristate on1V and billboard ads for Fumiture Fair, Meijer stores and jeep. · . ''I'm sure the kids get tired of hearing I'm t11eir father, but t.l)ey realize it's part of their lives," he said: "As a family we talk a lot about it DeDe and I work on encouraging them, but not pushing them.''

DeDe Munoz said the children have handled dad's fame well.

"It's been a privilege to be their parents. I know that sounds kind of weird, but they're neat people."

Michael is freshman class president at Moeller and caniesfirst-honors sta-. tus (90 average) academically. He also plays basketball.

He took up shot-putting and discus throwing this spring. He has thrown 135 feet in the discus, which is not among city leaders but good for someone learning the ropes.

'There's more technique with the discus," Kombrinck said. "Imagine how good he'll be when he leams all the footwork. The great thing about track is there's no pressure on him like there might be in football."

In football, Michael has played both guard and tackle- when allowed to play. He was always too big for agegroup teams, so the Moeller freshman team was his first full season of football.

Moeller football coach Steve Klonne, who has coached several AllAmericans and eventual -NFL players, will not predict whether Michael can be the next, ahem, Anthony Munoz.

"As a freshman he was a very dominating player because of his size, and . he's fairly athletic," Klonne said. "He's going to be a very good player, but we're ]ust going to take it easy with him. I will say this, he has a competitive streak that bums."

When he was 3 years old, Michael . was photographed wearing a "Recruited by Moeller" T-shirt. He has yet to reach the varsity, but like many youngsters he has pro dn~ams. " 'The NFL is my goal," he said, ''but I can't expect to make it there on my father's name."

Michael was born July 31, 1981.

The Bengals went to their first Super Bowl six months later. Nearly 16 years later, Anthony is finally eligible for Hall of Fame induction- he will be a firstballot choice- and Michael is eligible for the Moeller varsity.

'The la~t time Michael was normal," his mother said, "was as a baby. He was eight pounds. Bvt after six weeks he was way off the charts, and since then he's always been in the llOth percentile."

BY DAVE SCHUTIE Enquirer contributor

· The key to success for Cincinnati's three state track champioiis, Linise Gordon of Seven Hills, Fairfield's Adam Thomas and Ernie Ziegler of Harrison, was the same.

• ·. Besides long hours of training and a strong desire to be the best, these athletes were prepared to take that extra step in order to earn the title "champion." . As a result, Gordon ·is The Enquirer's girls track Athlete of the Year for the 1997 season, while Thomas and Ziegler share · the boys honor.

Jim Wright, Cincinnati Country Day's veteran coach, is the

Boys Coach of the Year.

Wyoming's Enid Redmah and Colerain's Ron Russo, whose teams turned in outstandings per·formances, are The Enquirer's Girls Co-Coaches of the Year.

"I finished second at state in the 400 the past three years," Gordon said following her victory in the Division III 400-meter race.

"I wasn't going to let it happen again."

A strategy change by Gordon was the key to her victory at the · state meet. Rather,than go out fast, she started slowly and turned on the speed during the final 200 meters to win the race going away.

Thorp.as also turned in an

nee the fiel for honor inspired performance, running a career best 4:15.76 to easily win the Division I state championship in the 1,600 meters. · 'The turning point for me came in the district when Ernie (Ziegler) beatme at the wire," Thomas said. "At that point, I realized that he was human and that I could beat him."

Until the Division I regional the following week in Dayton, Thomas had never beaten Ziegler in either cross country or track.

After watching Ziegler extend himself in the 1,600 meters at the state meet, many predicted that the 18-year-old Harrison senior was through for the day.

However, Ziegler, who fin-

CO-RUNNER

!

ished eighth in the 1,600,proved them wrong. He came back to successfully defend his Division I 3,200-meter state championship, covering the two miles in 9:19.03.

'The 1,600 meters took a lot out of me," Ziegler said, "I went out too fast in the 1,600 and had nothing left at the end."

Instead of taking the lead in the 3,200 as he had in previous races, Ziegler was third after the first mile before taking over. He fought off a challenge from Fairborn's Chris Camfield and won easily.

Wright is considered the "dean of High School track coaches." His Cincinnati Country Day boys team put it all together

COACH

to capture the Division III district and regional championships.

'This is a tremendous honor· for me because it celebrates my kids," Wright said. "It gives them the recognition, and I just take the credit for what they accomplished."

Unlike most coaches, Wright has short practices, usually lasting no more than 45 minutes.

"It's not how long you do things, but it's what you do and how you do them that counts," Wright said. "We try to make it fun. We work hard but we don't work long."

Like Wright, Wyoming's Redman pointed toward the athletes.

'The success of the program

RUNNER

CO-COACH,

comes from the dedication of the kids and the support from the parents," Redman said. "It's a special honor to me. I call it being 'Coach of the World.'"

Russo's Colerain team won The Enquirer's championship, going undefeated against local competition.

'This is one of those years I'd like to bottle," Russo said. 'We set 10 school records and this was the first year that a female -. athlete scored at the state meet."

The only criteria used in selecting the :first team was the athletes individual performances at the state meet. Any state qualifier not making the first team was an honorable mention.
