Moeller's Newman vaults into picture for state title

By Dave Schutte Post contributor

/->/ ~ £/ • . .>

Until Friday night, Moeller High School pole vaulter Greg Newman was a virtual unknown in Cincinnati high school track circles.

After an impressive performance in adverse weather conditions at the Lockland Nite Relays, the 17-year-old has established himself as a potential contender for the state title.

"After I cleared 13 feet, I was keyed up, and my adrenalin was really going," Newman said.

"This should be a confidence builder for me, and hopefully I can keep improving."

Newman vaulted a personalbest 13 feet, six inches, barely missing in three attempts at 14 feet.

What made this performance stand out was the fact that it was accomplished despite intermittent rain, a brisk breeze and temperatures in the mid-40s.

"I didn't start pole vaulting until my freshman year at Moeller," Newman said. "My dad (Greg Sr.) pole vaulted for Moeller in 1970, and he got me interested in the sport."

Newman set the tone for the high school season by vaulting throughout the winter months at numerous indoor meets.

He recently finished second at the Ohio Track and Cross Country Coaches state meet in Columbus with a vault of 13 feet.

Moeller coach Forrest Brandt said a vault of 14 feet, six inches, would not surprise him.

Newman said he plans to switch from a 14-feet, two-inch pole to a 14-foot-9 model, "which should improve my height."

Newman also will work on improving his endurance and speed during the next few weeks, running sprints during practice.

"Using the longer poll will require more speed on my approach," Newman said. "It will be a big adjustment for me, but it's something I'll have to work on in practice."

La Salle pole vaulting coach George Dirr, who watched the competition, said Newman has the potential to clear 14 feet, six inches. In fact, Dirr thinks Newman has the ability to challenge for the state title.

While in grade school at St. Clement's, Newman took up gymnastics. He says the body control he learned in gymnastics has helped in vaulting.

"Right now, I wouldn't want to predict how high I will vault this season," Newman said. "My original goal this season was to clear 14 feet, six inches, and I'll be happy if I make it."

Last summer, Newman attended Jan Johnson's pole vaulting camp at Toledo, Ohio.

Johnson is a former world record holder in the pole vault, and Newman says the techniques he learned at the camp have made a difference.

Glenn Terry, Sycamore's defending Class AAA state champion hurdler, had the crowd buzzing with an outstanding performance in helping his team win the 400-meter shuttle hurdles. The Aviators were timed in 58.2 seconds.

"Other than attending the camp, I didn't do much vaulting last summer, but I did work on the weights," Newman said. "Butthis summer, I plan to join the Track Coaches Association group and p~rticipate in some meets."

The top five teams in Class AAA were: Jeffersonville (Ind.), Withrow, St. Xavier, La Salle and Sycamore.

In Class AA, the top teams were: Dayton (Ky.), Ludlow (Ky.), Clinton-Massie, Country Day and Batavia.

Moeller pole.vaulter gets big boost at summer camp . Moeller pole vaulter Greg Newman surprised himself and coach Forrest Brandt during the Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches indoor meet two weeks ago at St. John Arena in Columbus. · Newman cleared 13 feet to finish second, vaulting the junior . and his Moeller team into the role of favorites as the high school track season opens next week.

"Last year, Greg vaulted 11 feet, six inches and made it to the regional meet," Brandt said. "But, this past summer, he attended the Sky Jumpers camp at the University of Toledo, which has helped him tremendously." · : . Newman also has worked with weights to increase his strength and has taken a more serious approach to the sport: He acts· as a coach to the other Moeller vaulters and has been a leader by example for Brandt.

"It's easier pole vaulting outdoors than indoors," Brandt said. "During the indoor season, the vaulters are just getting started. They work on technique and also tend to jump at every height. It's hard convincing them that the ideal situation is to win in five vaults." · Brandt said Newman has the potential to vault 14 to 15 feet .and qualify for the state meet this season.

"Greg's a good vaulter in a very competitive area," Brandt. said. "He's going to meet a lot of good competition this season ·and will have to prove he's the best." · ... · .

Anderson's Wolf also plans three other invitationals this season.

"We waited a long time for this type of facility, and we plan to use. it," Wolf said. "We're going to run a 3,200-meter steeple-. chase race, using the water hazard that has been installed."

The facility also includes two pole-vault areas and four long-jump pits... ·-· .. . . · Lakota prepares· for southern trip - Lakota's b~~bali team will travel south Wednesday night to play in the South Sumter Invitational baseball tournament that begins March 27 . at Bushnell, Fla. ··· · The Thunderbirds open the season Wednesday against Hamilton Badin before leaving on a chartered bus at 10 p.m.

The team is expected to arrive at Plant City, Fla., on Thursday and work out at the Reds' training center.

Mark McGregor, a pitcher and center fielder, will lead a Lakota team that coach Jim Rouff said will challenge Middletown for the Greater Miami League title. Other returning starters include pitcher Ken Martin, catcher Shawn Howard, third baseman Adam Shuppert and first baseman Jamie Wolf.

A T-Bird "hotline" will be set up at Plant City Holiday Inn so Lakota supporters in Florida can keep track of the team and the daily starting times in the tournament.
