The system was installed when the new school buildings were opened in the fall of 2010 and the winter of 2011. The Mount Healthy board of education approved a contract for the security system work last week.

Mount Healthy Junior/Senior High School has 150 cameras, Mount Healthy North Elemen- tary School each have 54 cam- eras and there are also cameras at the bus lot, athletic fields and the board office. Because the system is inte- gral to school security, the board authorized the contract as an urgent necessity, meaning it did not have to go out for com- petitive bid. Lavalle says it’s a safety and security issue. “We had an incident recently in which a teacher was injured during a fight in one of the buildings and it was not cap- tured on video because the cam- era in the area of the accident was not operational,” he said. “We don’t have someone who sits and looks at a bank of cam- eras all day. So we likely wouldn’t know a camera is not operational until we need to look at the video.” The system is web-based, which means it can be accessed outside the building. Lavalle said the new software has a number of upgrades, including one that makes it easy to track a person’s movements through the building from camera to camera and produce a video of that movement. “The cameras really are in- valuable in getting to the bot- tom of problems or issues that come up in our buildings,” La- valle said. “The video can cor- roborate a story, or show the complicity of people involved.” Superintendent Lori Han- dler agreed. “In some cases, the cameras act as a deterrent,” she said. “In others, where we have one kid’s word against anoth- er’s, the camera is our best chance to get at the truth.” JENNIE KEY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS Mount Healthy officials can check all of the district’s cameras via computer, but some of them don’t always function because of software failures.

The Northwest Local SchoolDistrict will be looking for twoathletic directors.

Dan Bolden, athletic directorat Colerain High School, is leav-ing to become an assistant prin-cipal at Northwest HighSchool’s alternative school pro-gram.

Joe Pollitt is ending fouryears as athletic director atNorthwest High School to be-come an assistant principal atColerain High School.

Bolden, who’s been the ath-letic director at Colerain for thelast eight years, said many fac-tors weighed into his decision,

but noneheavier than his family.

“The greatest thing I’ve everbeen called is dad,” Bolden said.“I’ve been blessed with six chil-dren, and with my older kids,I’ve missed some events.”

Bolden wants to be aroundfor his family more, he said thathe can’t remember the last timehis entire family got to sit down

together for dinner. There areaspects of the job he’ll miss,though.

“I’ve never had more funthan watching our teams win atsomething, watching our kidscompete,” Bolden said. “That’sbeen the greatest thing (watch-ing our kids compete). I will des-perately miss my secretary,without her this job would havenever got done.”

Politt said he will miss the in-teractions with athletes andcoaches from Northwest andopposing teams, but wants tospend more time with his wifeand his children, who are 8- and5-years-old.

Pollitt has been spearhead-ing Northwest High School’s

campaign to Build Camelot. TheNorthwest High School AthleticDepartment and the NorthwestBoosters are working to raise$900,000 to upgrade the school’sexisting athletic facilities.

Planned projects include theinstallation of a synthetic fieldin the stadium, the addition of avisitor set of stadium bleachersand other improvements.

Pollitt says plans for the con-tinuation of the campaign willbe an important part of the tran-sition as he moves on. He sayshe has been working on busi-ness partnerships and sponsor-ships, and the campaign is mov-ing in the right direction.

Traci Reai, assistant superin-tendent of human resources for

the Northwest district, said thepositions will be posted for 10days. It’s posted on ohiotea-chingjobs.org and the pay rangeis $70,787.55 - $96,296.58 basedon experience. The position ofathletic director is a full-timeposition. Coaching in the dis-trict in addition to these respon-sibilities will not be permitted.

Rea said in the second weekof April, building-level commit-tees will be appointed for thehiring at each high school, andinterviews will be conducted.The contract officially beginsAug. 1.

Colerain High SchoolStudents from Carrie Bar-

nett’s Advanced Design Artclass at Colerain High Schoolhave been selected to paintrain barrels as part of the thirdannual Rain Barrel Art Pro-ject, an initiative designed toeducate the community aboutwater conservation and pollu-tion caused by storm waterrunoff.

The Rain Barrel Art Projectis a joint effort of SaveLocal-Waters.org and the CincinnatiZoo & Botanical Garden. Aspart of this initiative, studentsand other community mem-bers throughout the Ohio RiverValley submitted artistic de-signs to beautify otherwisedull rain barrels. Fifty of thosedesigns were selected, and thesubmitting artists now arepainting them on rain barrelsthat will be displayed at theCincinnati Zoo’s Go Green Gar-den through April and auc-tioned off during the Rain Bar-rel Art Benefit Auction onApril 23 with proceeds benefit-ting conservation education inthe Ohio River Valley. .

“Rain barrels are a greattool for conserving water andsaving money, but some peopleare reluctant to use them be-cause of their usually plain, un-appealing appearance,” saidJohn Nelson, a representative

of SaveLocalWaters.org. The students of Colerain

High School were selected topaint four rain barrels for thisyear’s event. The participatingstudents from Colerain HighSchool are working under theleadership of Art teacher, Mrs.Carrie Barnett. Studentsworked in small groups to col-laboratively develop designs.These designs were submittedalong with artist biographiesand design summaries to thejudges. All four of ColerainHigh School’s designs were ac-cepted into this year’s contest.

People ask me all the time whereI get my recipes. “Do you develop

them yourself?”“Whose recipes doyou use from the foodnetwork and do youhave any favorites?”“What about recipesthat readers send. Doyou test them?”

I would say a care-ful yes to all of theabove. I develop somemyself, and I adaptsome, but not all. Asfor credit, if I know

the source, I will name it. Often-times the recipe has been passedthrough so many hands that cred-iting one person isn’t possible. Butthat’s the fun in it.

Not so much where a recipestarts, but where it continues to go.I don’t always test readers’ recipes.Just no time!

As far as food network stars, I’vecooked with more than a few. But Ihave to say our own Cincinnati foodstars/chef educators, like masterchef John Kinsella, Marilyn Harris,Debbie Goulding, Judy Walsh, ChrisHoltz and Molly Maundrell, alongwith Tim Bettinson, Bob Hess, TomKeegan and Todd Kelly, just toname a very few, hold their own,right with the most famous of chefs.And, of course, my readers don’tlack with creativity or ability.

That’s why today I’m sharing agood recipe which I enjoyed at theTrowel percent Error Garden Club’sluncheon. This chicken percent hamcordon bleu is a yummy way to usethat leftover Easter ham. MarieRobbins is one good cook!

Readers want to know:Stainless steel flatware: is it all

the same?No! At first glance, they’re all

shiny and look like they have someheft. Read packaging. What youwant is 18/10, which means 18 per-cent chromium and 10 percent nick-el.

Stainless steel is essentially ironwith more than 10 percent chromi-um. The higher the nickel content,the more protection from corrosion.Get as close to those numbers asyou can.

If you can pick a fork or spoon

up, go ahead. It will feel good inyour hand with the 18/10, not feath-erweight, and the polish will beelegant. Definitely worth the price.Polish with a bit of clear vinegar ifthey get water spots.

Top off chicken cordon bleuwith mimosa for brunch

Marie’s chicken cordon bleu casserole

I love garden club luncheons. They usually consistof an easy, do-ahead casserole that has stood the testof time. Like this one. Marie said make your own whitesauce if you like. She also sometimes adds sautéedmushrooms and usually bakes the chicken in a coveredcasserole.

8 oz wide egg noodles2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast8 oz. cubed cooked ham8 oz. cubed Swiss cheese10.5 oz. can reduced fat/sodium cream of chicken

soup1/2 cup 2percent milk1/2 cup light sour cream2 tablespoons butter1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease or spray a9x13 pan. Cook noodles in boiling, lightly salted waterjust until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5minutes. Drain and put in pan, top with chicken, hamand Swiss. Mix soup, milk and sour cream and spoonover noodle mixture. Melt butter over medium heatand stir in bread crumbs and Parmesan until crumbs arecoated, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle over casserole. Bakeuntil bubbling and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tip from Marie’s kitchen: Make ahead and bringto room temperature before baking.

Tyler Florence’s mimosa

Tyler uses blood orange juice, but regular juiceworks. Chill a bottle of Prosecco. Combine about 2 cupsjuice with sugar to taste and add a couple splashes oforange liqueur. Chill. To serve, pour juice mixture inbottom of champagne flute and top with Prosecco.

Four steps that fail toachieve real job growth

Steve Chabot continues tohand us misinformation.

Government regulations:Most have come about becausepeople/businesses have takenethical or moral actions thathurt others. I would agree thatoutdated regulations should beremoved. Removal of the Glass-Steagall Act is an example of amassive blunder and helpeddrive us to the Great Recession.The US House chose to promotethe XL pipeline, but refused tostipulate using US steel. So, if ithappens we get 50 full-timejobs. Wow!

Taxes are the lowest in 50years. Average corporate tax indown 50 percent in the last 30years. Kansas is a prime exam-ple of tax reduction without aplan. They have gone from AA+to an AA- bond rating. One onlyhas to look around Ohio to seethe results of indiscriminate taxcuts. Nationwide there are70,000 bridges that are at greatrisk. Flat tax and sales tax shiftsthe burden to middle and lowclass.

The complexity of the taxcode is primarily due to defin-ing what is income.

Capital access. Banks areflush with money. You can’t getmore than one-half percent onyour savings because they don’twant your money. Dodd-Frankdidn’t go far enough. A surveyrevealed that 16 percent indi-cated they would engage in in-sider trading if they could getaway with it.

Develop trade initiativesthat keep jobs on shore. FromNAFTA forward, each trade billhas resulted in a significant lossof jobs and greater trade imbal-ance. In 2014, $534 billion wentout of the country never to re-turn. One day, the middle classwill have no more dollars tospend on foreign products. So,instead of voting 60-plus timesto repeal the Affordable CareAct and wasting tax payersmoney, time for Mr. Chabot toget to work and earn his$174,000 that we pay him whilethe middle class family mud-dles by on $54,000.

Former Reds outfielder George Foster rides passed Washington Park in the 2014 Findlay Market Opening DayParade.

Throughout the history of humancivilization, institutional religion has away of perpetuating its values, litur-gies and ultimately, control of the faith-ful.

Normally, the utterances of God arethought to be cast in stone, not intendedto be changed in any phrase, word,vowel or punctuation mark (if one waspresent).

However, history also records thatinstitutional religion can change. Thereare many examples of this, but forbrevity, I will illustrate change throughthe history of the Christian church.Christianity is a religion that arose outof Judaism during a time when theSecond Temple was still standing inJerusalem , just a generation beforethe temple that Herod built was de-stroyed during the Jewish-RomanWars.

Over time, the Christian gospelfound its way into Europe throughRome. There in 313 CE, the EmperorConstantine I legalized Christianity andrather quickly, Christianity become thedominant religion of the empire. In-deed, the purple mantle adorned bothchurch and state.

After the demise of the last Romanemperor, the Church styled itself theprotector of the Scripture and of West-ern civilization. Great churchmen, firstwith miter, cross, and holy book, andthen with shield, sword and lance, de-fended the realm against the unscript-ed tribes on the fringes of the conti-nent.

Yet another Scripture, the Quran,was revealed through Mohammad asthe last prophet of Allah who is alsoGod of Abraham. With this reformationand expansion of Islam westward

across a part of theMediterranean world,conflict dragged outinto 200-year Crusadefor the Holy Land andJerusalem in partic-ular.

The Christianchurch experiencedreformation within,first with the splitbetween the Eastern

and Western institutions. As new think-ing in Europe developed into the En-lightenment, the rise of ProtestantChristianity, precipitated a bloodystruggle which climaxed in the ThirtyYears War. After nearly a quarter ofthe population of north central Europeperished by sword, famine and pesti-lence, the war was ended with thePeace of Westphalia by which the new-ly emerged nation-states of Europeresolved not to go to war in the name ofreligion, but reserving unto themselvesraison d’être.

Major wars continued to plaguehumanity with ever more destructiveweapons - rifles, machine guns, artil-lery, tanks and finally nuclear arms.With new knowledge of and dominionover the physical world, human beingshave become godlike with power todestroy the earth. At this juncture, theworld’s institutional religions must playthe role of protecting human existenceby beating swords into plowshares andnever be used as a pretext or excuse towage war.

Terrible cost forreformation of religion

Ankle sprains are oneof the most commoninjuries I see as a physi-cian of sports medicineat Cincinnati Children’s.

It’s estimated 2 mil-lion ankle sprains occuracross the country ev-ery year. Almost halftaking place duringsports related activity.Ankle sprains commonlyhappen in sports thatrequire cutting andjumping such as basket-ball, soccer, football andvolleyball.

A common miscon-ception among parentsis that an ankle sprain isa “mild injury that willheal on its own.” Howev-er, ankle sprains canlead to chronic pain andinstability of the ankle ifnot properly treated.The group that is atgreatest risk range inage from 10-19 years old.

A sprain is a stretch-ing or tearing injurythat is specific to liga-ments (bone to boneconnections in thebody). Most anklesprains cause an injuryto the outside portion ofthe ankle. However, aninjury to the inside ofthe ankle can indicate afar more worrisomeinjury.

If you think yourchild has an anklesprain, it’s always bestto have an examinationby a physician who hasspecialized training in

evalua-tion ofanklesprains.

Someof thesignsinclude:

» in-ability ordifficul-ty bear-ing

weight on the affectedankle;

» significant swellingor bruising anywhere onthe ankle, leg or foot;

» pain over the insideof the ankle or over thefoot;

» deformity of theankle or foot.

If any of the abovesigns or symptoms ispresent, it is advisedthat your child be evalu-ated as soon as possible.Ligaments may not healproperly if rest and orbracing are not per-formed. Ankle braceshave progressed greatlyover the past 20 years.Today’s ankle braces arefor easier to put on, arecomprised of more ad-vanced materials, andare more comfortable towear.

At Cincinnati Chil-dren’s, our pediatricsports medicine expertsrecognize the impor-tance of early evaluationof musculoskeletal in-juries. Our clinics areequipped with Xray

capabilities, splints,crutches, and bracingfor all levels of anklesprains. Same day ap-pointments can be madeby calling 513-803-HURT. If your child’sinjury is after hours oron the weekend and yourchild is unable to bearweight or a deformity ispresent, an evaluation inan urgent care or emer-gency department wouldbe recommended.

Depending on thedegree of the anklesprain, healing timesmay vary. If the anklesprain is minor, recov-ery can take place with-in two to three weeks.With more severe anklesprains, the healing timecan take six to eightweeks for a full recov-ery.

It’s important to havethe ankle checked out assoon as possible espe-cially if there is anyongoing pain. At Cincin-nati Children’s, thesports medicine team iscommitted to havingyour child return to hisor her usual activitiesonce the ankle is healedand strength is restored.

Ursuline student athletes ahve committed to play at the college level. Front from left: Mikaela McGee, AbbyWilliams, Sara Robertson, Madison Manger, Catherine Finke. Back row from left: Andrea Kennard, JordanHollmeyer, Mallory Bechtold, Lauren Wilkins, Christina Hallmann, Sydney Lofquist, Grace Kelly, Alison Schirmer.Not pictured: Mattina Girardot.

Northwestenters the seasonwith the goal of keeping a four-year streak alive. During thattime, the Knights have sent atleast one athlete to the statemeet.

Fifth-year head coach LoriSpence has plenty to work withon this year’s team and wants tokeep that streak going.

“We have a lot of experienceon the team this season bothboys and girls,” Spence said.“We have meet champions,league champions, districtchampions, regionals champi-ons, state qualifiers and a statechampion on our team.”

The Knights return seniorsDeVohn Jackson, Myles Prin-gle, Justin Bergquist and DeionGoins and junior Malik Beverly.

Jackson is a three-time statequalifier and was part of the2013 state champion 4x100 me-ter relay team. Spence saidPringle can run any event fromthe 200 to the 1600 and be suc-cessful.

Pringle could break the 400-meter dash record this seasonthat’s currently held by MilesBaldwin.

Beverly has been a statequalifier in the long jump, the4x200 relay and has just missedqualifying in hurdles events.

Bergquist was the SouthwestOhio Conference champion indiscus last year and Spence saidhe will lead the team in throwsthis season.

Goins, a jumper, was alsopart of the 4x200 relay teamthat qualified for state. He wasthe runner-up in the SWOC con-ference meet in high jump lastyear.

It appears that La Salle won’tmiss a beat again this track sea-son. The Lancers are an annualpowerhouse led by coach FrankRusso, who’s entering his 32ndseason at the helm.

La Salle was a district run-ner-up and Greater CatholicLeague South runner-up lastseason.

Back this year is senior TylerHarmon, the GCL South Co-Ath-lete of the Year last season, whoRusso described as very versa-tile. “(Tyler) has great range interms of what he can run, hisspeed and athleticism allows usto be able to move him in a lot ofdifferent directions,” said Rus-so. Harmon a two-time regional

qualifier missed state last yeardue to an illness, so he’s got hissights set on Columbus in a cou-ple months.

Senior Darius Heis returnsas a 110 hurdles regional final-ist. Senior Adam Franklin’s an-other regional finalist knockingon the door to state. Senior Jor-dan Thompson, a Northwesternfootball signee, is a new addi-tion in shot put and discus. He’sjoined in throwing by LukeDoerger, who Russo said has

gotten bigger, stronger andfaster. The distance crew is an-other talented, experiencedgroup for the Lancers in seniorMichael Campbell, juniors BradAnneken, Frank Pierce, NickWuestefeld and sophomore Jay-len Hasen.

Senior Danny Bellman andjunior J.P. Wang return as polevaulters. Avery Larkin andNick Jones are both experi-enced long jumpers and PierreHunter and Christian Turner

were both members of relaysthat reached the regional.

“We’re a well-balanced teamthat should be able to score inevery event,” Russo said. “Wehave high expectations – winthe GCL, win the district, be acontender in the regional andadvance as many as we can tostate.”

Although its team is a littlesmaller, in terms of numbers,and fairly young, Colerain willstill be a dangerous team this

year that can score points. A group of between five and

10 athletes return with experi-ence for the Cardinals, accord-ing to first-year coach SarahChisom, who previouslycoached Colerain’s middleschool teams.

Chisom said Colerain willhave many younger kids on thevarsity team this year, but theystill boast a nice group ofproven, competitive upper-classmen.

Seniors Rodney Allen andJordan Asberry will lead therunning charge. Allen was a re-gional qualifier last season in800 meters who’s looking to re-peat that success and improve.Asberry, who’s a talentedsprinter, qualified for regionalstwo years ago in the 100 meters,but last season his year was cutshort by injury, said Chisom.

Junior Brandon Beebe re-turns as the primary thrower inthe shot put and discus.

“They’re ready to go,” Chi-som said. “We as a staff are real-ly excited about how hard work-ing and determined this groupis. They come to practice every-day ready to work; they’re ex-cited to be here.”

The departures of athleteslike Michael Thomas andCinque Williams have left someholes to fill for the defending

SWOC champion MountHealthy Owls.

However, head coachKen Meibers believes hehas the athletes to fillthose open positions andbe one of the best DivisionI teams in the area.

“We lost four athletesthat earned scholarships;that’s a lot in track,” thecoach said. “We have todevelop the talent wehave, stay healthy andcome up with the rightperson to fill the holes.”

Some of the athletesthe Owls will count on thisseason include Domin-ique Smith, David Mont-gomery, Hjavier Pitts, Ty-ler Holley and Chaz Jonesand KeAndre Smith.

Meibers expectsNorthwest and Talawandato be the biggest competi-tion inside the confer-ence. The two schools fin-ished second and third, re-spectively behind the

Owls last season.He also believes Lako-

ta West, La Salle, Masonand Sycamore, the Bravesand Knights will be majorplayers in D-I.

“Northwest could winthe state in Division I ifthey line it up right,”Meibers said. “I like ourteam; we’re going to seewhat we can do againstthem.”

The Roger Bacon boystrack team did somegrowing up this year, saidseventh-year coach Mi-chael Braun, who addedthat it’s not a rebuildingyear but more of a grow-ing year. The Spartansgraduated 11 seniors lastyear and with that a lot oftalented athletes.

“I wouldn’t say this is arebuilding year, but a lotof kids had to grow up thisyear,” Braun said.

This season, Braunsaid, he has just four sen-iors but they’re qualityleaders. Senior DrewStark returns after reach-ing regionals last year inthe 4x200 relay. Senior

Nick Shooner was a re-gional qualifier last sea-son in 110 hurdles, and ju-nior Jordan Williams wasa regional high jumper af-ter taking fourth place atdistricts, he placed 11th atregionals. Braun said thatlast year was Williams’first year competing.

Also back are sopho-mores Sam Johnstone andTony Luken. Braun saidJohnstone is a distanceguy that really flew underthe radar last year so hecould be a surprise thisyear, and Luken finishedsecond overall in theGreater Catholic LeagueCo-Ed Central Divisionlast season. Braun alsolikes what he’s seen fromsenior and first-year run-ner Slayton Brummett.

St. Xavier head trackand field coach Oliver Ma-son, entering his 10th sea-son with the Bombers,said his team is not thetype of team that doeswell early in the season orin little meets.

But, when the stagegets bigger, and the pres-

sure builds, that’s whenthe Bombers let loose.

St. Xavier’s a defend-ing Division I state cham-pion in two events – the4x800 meter relay and1,600 meter run. Both hadMichael Vitucci in com-mon. Vitucci, a seniorsigned with Cincinnati,was The Enquirer maletrack Athlete of the Yearin 2014 and he was also theDivision I cross countrystate champion this pastfall. Vitucci’s 1,600 statetitle from last year set anew stadium record witha time of 4:07.96, and the4x800 team set a new OH-SAA state record in a timeof 7:36.33. Senior Brad Ea-gan’s another member re-turning from the 4x800.

Keep a lookout for sen-ior Connor Stelljes whowas a regional qualifierlast season in shot put anddiscus. Also, seniorsprinters Rashon Ed-wards and Ronnie Fricke.Mason said that Frickepulled a hamstring at theend of last season, cuttinghis postseason short, and

if he can stay healthy hecould be there at season’send.

“We’re gonna be a late-blooming type team,” Ma-son said. “The distanceand middle distance crew

is gonna be good again.I’m excited about some ofour sprint relays, too. Thisshould be as good a seasonas we had last year fromour standpoint.”

La Salle senior Tyler Harmon, a track standout for the Lancers,pictured with La Salle coach Frank Russo after a meet in the2014 season.

McAuley High School findsitself in a familiar spot thistrack and field season. The Mo-hawks have found a groove inrecent years that has translatedinto numerous Girls GreaterCatholic League titles and tripsto Columbus for the state meet.

McAuley coach Ron Russo,now in his sixth season at McAu-ley and 27th overall, said histeam has embraced its questionmarks, because behind thosequestions are girls with a lot ofpotential.

In each of the last four sea-sons McAuley has qualified its4x800 relay team to state, andthree of the four legs returnfrom last year’s relay in seniorMcKenzie Pfeifer and juniorsSydney Kreimer and Anna Son-tag. Pfeifer’s a three-time statequalifier, and Russo said she’slooking to become one of only afew in school history to be afour-time state qualifier.Kreimer’s also transitioningover to throwing shot and dis-cus this season in addition to herrunning duties.

“I see a lot of question marksbut I’m really encouraged withwhat I see in terms of our up-side,” Russo said. “We have sen-iors that are going to carry us ina number of events. And, thosequestion marks can be an-swered really quickly becausewe have talented freshmangirls coupled with seasoned up-perclassmen who’ve proventhey can score and advance (inthe postseason).”

Senior Sydney Lambert’s an-other important leader for theMohawks. Lambert, who’ssigned to play basketball atBowling Green, will help out onthe relay teams and resume herrole long jumping where she’s atwo-time regional qualifier.

Other Mohawks to keep aneye on include: Juniors GabbyDraginoff, Mariah Edwards,Natalie Lienhart and sopho-mores Kira Staubach, CarleeLambert, Erin Parsons andfreshman Samone Mathes andEmily Anneken. Draginoff’s areturning pole vault regionalqualifier. Edwards will help outin the 100 meters, sprint relaysand long jump. Lienhart’s athree-year varsity starter whohandles the distance eventsreally well. Staubach’s a polevaulter who will also run hur-dles, high jump and long jump.Carlee Lambert will help throwshot and discus, while Parsonswill continue to progress on thehurdles. Anneken’s a distancerunner with a special work eth-ic, said Russo, who added thatMathes has big-time potential

as a sprinter. “Track is a sprint sport and if

you’re gonna be really good youhave to have some lockdownsprinters,” Russo said, addingthat by season’s end he and hisstaff will have their kids in posi-tion to compete for titles.

Much like its male counter-parts, the Northwest girlstrack team returns a wealth ofexperienced athletes.

The Knights return seniorsNadiya Pope, Quorri Newmanand Deja Martin and junior Na-sya Cooper.

Pope is the school recordholder in discus, was runner-upin the district last year and fin-ished 10th in the region. New-man, a sprinter, is a member ofthe Southwest Ohio Conferencechampion 4x100 and 4x200 re-lays.

Martin is a 100 and 300 meterhurdler, high jumper and mem-ber of the conference champion4x100 relay. Cooper runs the 400and also runs in relays.

Fifth-year head coach LoriSpence said Cooper continues toget better every day.

“With this experience we canshow the young members of theteam how to win and competeunder pressure,” the coach said.

Sophomore Fatimah Shabazzis one of those younger mem-bers following the example.Last year, she was the confer-ence champion in the 200, thelong jump and has been a mem-ber of relay teams.

Spence is counting on her tobe a vital to the relays teamsthis season.

“We have the chance to moveout of districts this season if ourhand-offs are on point,” Spencesaid.

Colerain has a strong group

of seniors leading a talentedyounger class this season. Al-though no one made it throughto state last season, Colerain re-turns a bevy of regional qualifi-ers hoping to repeat if not ad-vance further this season, saidfirst-year coach Sarah Chisom.

Seniors of note are: HannahTobler, Kaitlyn Bigner, CassidySmith, Erin Flaig, Kaitlyn Ko-weler and Laura Janakiefski.

Tobler had a solid cross coun-try season last fall and she wasalso a regional qualifier last sea-son in the 1,600 and 3,200 meterruns.

Bigner was a regional quali-fier last year in 400 meters. Chi-som said Bigner suffered an in-jury during the soccer season,and after rehabbing all wintershe’s back and ready to run forthe Cardinals.

Smith, Flaig and Koweler areall returning members of the4x400 relay team that reachedregionals last year. Janakiefskiwas a regional pole vaulter lastseason.

“We have great senior lead-ership,” Chisom said. “Behindthe seniors we do have a reallystrong group of freshman andsophomores that are learning,we think they’ll be able to stepup and help out this season andin the coming years.”

Usually, Roger Bacon coachMichael Braun is lucky if hegets 15 girls to come out andcompete on the track and fieldteam. This year, he has nearly30, which has the Spartans look-ing at the season in an optimisticlight.

There’s a nice group return-ing, of mostly underclassmenthis season. Braun said he hasjust three seniors.

Juniors Sydnay Jackson, Ma-

riah Johnson and Ashley Wash-ington all return as members ofthe 4x100 relay team that qual-ified to regionals last year. Jack-son and Johnson are primarilysprinters, while Washingtonsprints and does some middledistance running.

Seniors Destiny Cherry andCasey Niesen are returningstarters. Cherry specializes inthe high jump and sprint relays,while Niesen, a two-time re-gional qualifier, competes in thedistance events. Braun said thatlast season, Niesen was battlinginjuries so they’re hoping if shestays healthy she’ll have anoth-er successful postseason.

Junior Ellyn Nichols wasalso hampered last year. Nich-ols, a high jumper and hurdler,still took fifth in the high jumpat districts battling a pairstrained quads.

Braun said his team is verymuch “young and competitive”with a lot of juniors and sopho-mores.

“We have a lot of strong ath-letes that come to work everysingle day and work hard,”Braun said.

This is the first year of headcoach Kelvin Kelley’s tenure atMount Healthy and he is al-ready talking about changingthe culture of the program.

Kelley brings more than 30years of experience to the Owlsafter coaching Princeton,Mount Notre Dame and a stintat Wyoming.

“I retired from Princeton

and am now substitute teachingat Mount Healthy,” the coachsaid. “I am not planning on be-ing here for one year and thenleaving. I want to build this pro-gram so girls can earn scholar-ships.”

Even though Kelley is stillgetting to know his team, hethinks there are some girls whocan contribute immediately, in-cluding a good crop of fresh-men.

The coach is looking for pro-duction from athletes such ashigh jumper Karlee Talbert, Ja-len McQuiller, Nyla Houston,Nahja Glenn, Ariel Powell andDavia Jackson.

When looking at St. UrsulaAcademy’s track and fieldteam, the discussion must startwith Annie Heffernan.

The decorated senior willlead the Bulldogs once againthis season.

She specializes in the 1,600,3,200 and 4x800 and took hometitles in the 800, 1,600, 3,200 andran the anchor leg of the 4x800in last year’s Girls GreaterCatholic League meet.

She won the gold in the 1600at state last year.

Fifth-year head coach DanBird will also look for good sea-sons from Danielle Springer,Maria Weisgerber, AlexandraGoss and Caitlin Kelly.

Kelly and Weisgerber willrun the 1600, 3200 and 4x800along with Heffernan. Springerwill compete in the high andlong jumps. Goss will partici-pate in the 100 meter hurdles.

She won the event as a juniorat last year’s GGCL meet.
