GREEN TWP. — Rylan Hixsonand his art teacher werecamped out in front of a comput-er awaiting the results.

It was almost noon and thenames of the national medalistsin the 2015 Scholastic Art andWriting Awards were minutesfrom being posted online.

“We were stalking the com-puter waiting for the results toload,” Hixson, an Oak Hills HighSchool senior, said.

“But their system crashedbecause so many people were onthe site.”

His art class soon ended andhe had to move on to his next pe-riod, unaware if his piece hadbeen selected as a medal winner.

GREEN TWP. — For OakdaleElementary School parentBecky Meyer, the possibility ofmaking a school playground ac-cessible for special needs stu-dents like her son has been herdream since the day theytoured the school when he wasin kindergarten.

“It means that they can bepart of something as basic asplay,” she said. “There are so

many limits in the world forthese children, and the play-ground should not be one ofthem.”

Meyer and other parents ofspecial needs students shared adream of an inclusive play-ground with smooth surfaces,ramp entrances and swings –where students with disabili-ties can play and socialize withtheir peers at recess ratherthan sit and watch from theside, unable to join theirfriends.

Those dreams are becominga reality thanks to a dedicatedteam of teachers, parents andcommunity volunteers at Oak-dale, who set out this past fall tobegin raising $180,000 for a newinclusive playground called theScottie Yard.

The playground planningcommittee found big sup-porters of the project this weekin Green Township officials.

HOW TO HELPThose interested in contributing to the Oakdale Ele-

mentary School playground project can send donations tothe Oak Hills Alumni & Educational Foundation, attention:Scottie Yard, 6325 Rapid Run Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45233.

Checks should be made payable to the Oak Hills Alumni& Educational Foundation.

Online donations are accepted through the foundation’swebsite by clicking the donate tab atwww.oakhillsalumniassociation.com and using a creditcard number or PayPal account.

Questions can be directed to Michelle Boeshart at 574-1100 or [email protected].

ees voted unanimouslyMarch 23 to provide$100,000 toward the play-ground. The money thetownship is contributingwill come from the town-ship’s tax increment fi-nancing funds.

“For many years thetownship has set aside cer-tain dollars to be used forspecial projects,” TrusteeChairman Tony Rosiellosaid.

“When taking into con-sideration the fact thisproject will benefit chil-dren with special needs,we certainly felt it was agreat project and will be agood fit for the township.”

Much of Oakdale’s ex-isting playground is notaccessible for studentswith a variety of disabili-

ties, including those whouse braces, walkers orwheelchairs. For example,the playground has onlyone swing that can accom-modate wheelchairs, forc-ing six students to share itduring a 30-minute recess.

“It’s time to changethat, so that all of our stu-dents can enjoy time to-gether at recess,” Oakdaleintervention specialistand Scottie Yard commit-tee chairwoman MichelleBoeshart said.

“Our goal with the Scot-tie Yard playground is tocreate a truly accessibleenvironment so that allstudents can play togetherin a safe and inclusive en-vironment.”

Oak Hills Local SchoolDistrict SuperintendentTodd Yohey said the dis-trict appreciates the town-ship’s generosity.

“We’re extremelygrateful the townshiptrustees see the value inthis project for the entirecommunity, not just theschool district,” Yoheysaid. “After school hours,on the weekends andthroughout the summer,the playground becomes apark for the entire com-munity.”

Oakdale parent CatieSinger added, “Outdoorplay is so important to allchildren, and an accessi-ble playground would of-fer that opportunity tochildren like my daugh-ter.”

Rosiello, the Trusteechairman, said the play-ground will be open to all

children in the communi-ty, which appealed totownship officials andmeets the township’s phi-losophy of serving the en-tire township and provid-ing residents with a varie-ty of recreational options.

He said the ScottieYard will serve as the gate-way for the biking and hik-ing trail the township is de-veloping on the old rail-road right of way, a seg-ment of which runsthrough the woods behindOakdale. He said the town-ship aims to begin con-

structing the trail some-time this summer andplans to complete 1.1milesof the trail this year.

“It’s an exciting time tobe in Green Township,” hesaid.

“The continued growthin Green Township is duein large part to our won-derful schools. We’re al-ways open to looking atthese kinds of projects andopportunities to supportour schools.”

Yohey said Oakdalehopes to have some of theplayground done by thestart of next school year.Due to the cost of the pro-ject, he said it’s likely theplayground will have to beimplemented in phases.

The Scottie Yard com-mittee has been raisingfunds for the project, andafter the $100,000 donationfrom the township, hasabout $70,000 still to raise.

PlayContinued from Page A1

cils to create the work,which he estimates took24 hours to complete,working on it here andthere for about a month.

“It’s actually my firstPrismacolor piece,” hesaid. “I like using colorsto give emotion topieces. It tells a com-pletely different storythan something that isdone in just black andwhite. Storytelling is themain objective.”

Hixson said he’s beendrawing his entire life,but he really began tak-ing art seriously whenhe was in the seventh-grade. He’s taken a va-riety of art classes inhigh school, includinggraphic design, digitalphotography and filmphotography, but he saidstudio art is his favorite.

Although he won anaward for a drawing ofan animal skull, he said

people are his favoritesubject to draw.

“Humans are beauti-ful and there is alwayssomething unique youcan take away fromthem,” he said.

“I enjoy art becausein my day it’s an escapefrom the grueling andmind-boggling work.I’m a creative personand it’s an outlet where Ican express myself.”

Schorsch said as anadded bonus to winningthe visions medal, Hix-son’s piece has been se-lected to be displayed inScholastic’s national artexhibition in New YorkCity from June 10-12. Af-ter being displayed inNew York, she said itwill travel throughoutthe country for twoyears for exhibits.

As part of beingnamed a medalist, Hix-son said he’s been en-tered into a lottery towin a trip to New York toattend Scholastic’saward ceremony at Car-negie Hall.

“Even if my nameisn’t drawn in the lottery,I’m still making a trip toNew York to see mywork on display,” hesaid.

After graduatingfrom Oak Hills this June,Hixson will attend Mi-ami University in Ox-ford and plans to majorin business.

Seton High School» Recent research conduct-

ed by the Dove Campaign forReal Beauty found that 63 per-cent of young women feel so-cial media is shaping the waythe world defines beauty. Thecompany did a short film, “TheSelfie Project,” and students atSeton High School took notice.Inspired by this concept, mem-bers of Seton’s StrongHer Club,launched their own “SelfieProject” that involved everysingle student at the school.

“When we say negativethings about ourselves, thosearound us are paying attentionand soaking up that negativ-ity,” said senior Caroline

Klopp, StrongHer events coor-dinator. “We helped to presenta variation of the Selfie Projectthis past summer at Seton’sGirl Power camp. I saw howexcited the younger girls at thecamp got complimenting eachother and I knew I had to rec-reate this excitement for all ofthe Seton High School stu-dents.”

With about 500 students inthe school, the Selfie Projecttook many hours of planningand dedication.

“Taking pictures, verifyingstudents and names, and triplechecking everything was thehardest part of the whole proc-ess,” Klopp said. “I neverwould have been able to do itwithout the help of the otherboard members. Once I had allof the pictures organized, Ibegan to plan the assemblyportion of Seton’s Selfie Pro-ject.”

The group held an all-schoolassembly, and StrongHer mem-bers talked about self-confi-

dence, body image and themedia.”

“With the school watching, Istood in front of a mirror onstage while some StrongHermembers acted as my con-science and listed out loud aseries of flaws and insecuritiesthat I typically think to myselfwhen looking in the mirror,”Klopp said. “I then took themirror throughout the audi-ence and asked certain peopleto write on the mirror ‘whatthey see’ when they look in it.We then handed out note cardsand had everyone write theirown list of what they thoughtwere their flaws and insecuri-ties.”

The cards were collectedand then the focus transitionedto body image in the media.

“We played a couple ofshocking Photoshop videos anddiscussed some facts aboutbody image and the media,”Klopp said. “We focused on theaverage female versus supermodels. Then we live-streamed

a video to outside where ourdirector of student life, Ms.Mary Agricola, had a fire goingand we burned everyone’s notecards with all of their flawsand insecurities.”

The next part of the assem-bly was for reflection.

“I talked about how as thenote cards were being burnedin the fire, all of our insecuri-ties were now symbolicallydrifting up to God, and we allprayed that we would acceptourselves for whom we are.”

Lastly, the Dove Selfie Pro-ject video was played, and thenthe activity was explained.Every student’s picture hadbeen hung up on the wallsthroughout the first and secondfloors of the school. The stu-dents went to write compli-ments on the pictures.

“I know some girls were

nervous to have their pictureshung throughout the school”senior Haley Sponaugle,StrongHer vice president, said.“It was awesome to see theirfears disappear as every girlreceived several hand-writtencompliments and positive mes-sages.”

“The whole purpose of theproject was to have othersactually show you and point outyour perfections and positivecharacteristics,” Klopp said.

Senior Erin Gardner,StrongHer secretary, said shecould feel all of the positiveenergy throughout the hall-ways. “Seeing the entire schoolcome together at one time towrite positive notes on every-one’s ‘selfies’ was inspiring,”she said. “We got the opportu-nity to focus on one another’sunique, wonderful qualities.”

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.

WESTERN HILLSPRESSEditor: Richard Maloney, [email protected], 248-7134

I have written about theman the Indian statue wasdonated for, but not the statueitself.

Eliza Thornton was mar-ried to John Fitzhugh Thorn-ton. He was from a very fam-ous family, the Thorntons andFitzhughs of Tidewater, Vir-ginia. Out of that family camehis mother, Mary Harrison,daughter of President WilliamHenry Harrison. His cousinwas President Benjamin Har-rison, and his great grandfa-ther was the governor of Vir-ginia and signed the Declara-tion of Independence.

John was politically in-volved in the affairs of thenewly incorporated village ofFernbank from 1870 until hisdeath in 1907. When he diedEliza wanted to donate some-thing to the village in his hon-or. She never liked the way theIndians were treated by theUnited States government.When she found a catalog ofthe J. L. Mott Iron Works shefound a metal Indian statuethat had been fashioned aftera wooden sculpture.

It was dedicated June 22,1912. One thousand spectatorsattended the dedication cere-mony. Children sang, an or-chestra played and there werepolitical speeches. The Fern-bank Council in attendancewas: clerk William Wynne;treasurer Thomas Jouvet;marshall James Hickman, and

councilmenOscar Black-burn, AlbertCaffee, Hu-bert Hayes,Shelby Ru-dolph Siegeland H.B. Witt-kamper.

Fernbankwas annexedinto the cityof Cincinnati

the following year and thestatue was put into the care ofthe Cincinnati Parks Depart-ment. Mrs. Thornton carefullykept watch over her statueuntil her death Oct. 22, 1922.

After her death, the statuewas hit by a car twice. In 1940a runaway car skidded overtwo yards, hit a utility pole,knocked down a police callbox and rested at the foot ofthe statue fallen statue. Thepark department sold it forjunk.

When the residents heardabout their statue, they be-came so outraged that theydemanded it back, or theywould secede from the City ofCincinnati.

The statue was returned,but it was erected backwards,facing River Road. The com-munity was incensed againand the statue was turnedaround.

In 1966, the statue was hitagain and repaired with bondoand fiberglass and returned to

its pedestal. Rust hit the stat-ue around 1979 and the com-munity conducted a campaignto have it restored. By theyear 2000, there was so muchdeteriorating metal that thestatue could no longer toleratestreet salt and weatherchanges. So the park depart-ment paid the $25,000 to havethe statue recast.

The new statue was reded-icated Oct. 5, 2003. There wasa flag ceremony performed bythe Boy Scouts, Pack 26 of theShawnee District. The Pledgeof Allegiance was recitedwhile the flag was raised. TheGirl Scouts in sing “America”and “America the Beautiful,”and the crowd sang, “Let therebe Peace on Earth” and “GodBless America.”

This time was different.Vickie Whitewolf, a NativeAmerican appearing in fullIndian regalia, along withrepresentatives of the 800Native Americans from vari-ous tribes living in the Cincin-nati area. They blessed thestatue with smoke from burn-ing herbs and chants. Thepastor of the First BaptistChurch, the oldest church inSayler Park, led the closingprayer.

The Indian statue is such a part of the Sayler Park community that residents once threatened to secede whenthe city sold it for junk.

March 25 questionWhat Opening Day traditions

or memories do you have? Howdo you think the Reds will dothis year?

“Going to lunch and thegame with my dad everyOpening Day for years andyears. Fond memories of be-ing with dad for the start ofanother baseball season. Playball!”

C.G.

“I have gone to OpeningDay since 1971; the first Open-ing Day at Riverfront. I likegetting down there early tosee the parade. The game nowstarts at 4:15, which makesgetting home much easier dueto no rush hour traffic.

“After three playoff ap-pearances with Dusty Bakerthe Reds finished last in theirdivision in 2014 with a new

manager. They are picked lastthis year due to losing twostarting pitchers. But hopesprings eternal this time ofyear and I see their battlingfor a wild card playoff spot inSeptember. But I also haveXU in the NCAA finals. GoFigure!”

Slaughter a great choicefor Cheviot mayor

I was ecstatic to hear thatmy former peer and friend,Debbie Slaughter, is runningfor mayor in Cheviot.

I had the great opportunityof serving on Cheviot CityCouncil with Debbie, whereshe presided as she still doesas the president of City coun-cil/vice mayor. She was anabsolute joy to work with asshe brought great passion,

intellect, thoughtfulness, dedi-cation and overall positiveattitude to everything she did.It's these same attributes thatwill make her a great leaderand help foster Cheviot'sgrowth and prosperity.

The city would be lucky tohave Debbie Slaughter as itsfirst female mayor so pleaseremember her at the pollsTuesday, May 5.

The Pantherslost a fair amount of point-scor-ing from last year, but they’regenerally adept at reloadingacross all events, especiallywith a senior-heavy roster thisyear.

“We’re gonna be good,” saideighth-year coach Brian Flaher-ty. “We lost a lot of point scorersfrom last year, but we do havesome younger guys that are go-ing to step up and fill in.”

Five seniors to keep an eye onthis season: Brady Kraemer,Nick Pangallo, T.J. Ruwan, EricHuff and Michael Huschart.

Kraemer, a member of the4x400 relay team that qualifiedto state last year, helped set theschool record last season in the4x200 and 4x400 relays. Pangal-lo and Ruwan are also back onthe 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 re-lays this year. Ruwan was also aregional finalist in 300 hurdleslast season. Huff and Huschartare experienced distance run-ners, both were cross countrystandouts last fall and both wereregional qualifiers last trackseason in the mile and two mile.

“La Salle’s probably the fa-vorite (in the GCL) but I thinkwe can give them a pretty goodtest,” said Flaherty who earnedGCL South Coach of the Year in2014.

The Panthers will have to re-place Joe Ratterman who tookthird in the pole vault at statelast year. Flaherty said juniorRobbie Oswald is prepared af-ter going 14’0” last year as asophomore.

Flaherty said Elder will needto improve in the weight eventsand field events, where theygraduated a lot of points.

The majority of its point-scoring from last season gradu-ated, so Oak Hills will be youngthis year, but they do have sometalent returning that will helpmold a younger team.

“We are a very young and in-experienced team this year,”third-year coach Ben Hagemansaid. “With that inexperience isquite a bit of excitement. Notsure how it will translate imme-diately; it will be fun to watchthem over the course of theyear.”

Senior Devin Moore will beadding some running events tohis resume this season afterreaching regionals in the longjump last season. Moore’s alsothe school record holder in thetriple jump, said Hageman.

Senior Montell Brown, who’ssigned to play football next fallat the University of Pennsylva-nia, will handle the throws againthis year. Hageman saidBrown’s improved since lastyear.

Hageman also said the High-landers will field a young, butstrong group of distance run-ners in senior Ryan Frondorfand junior Thomas Seibert.

“Inexperience isn’t necessar-ily a bad thing, it’s just inexperi-ence. I’m very excited for ourfirst meet to see where we actu-ally stand,” Hageman conclud-ed.

Western Hills was young lastseason and lacked a true under-standing of the sport. This yearshould be different for the Mus-tangs, said second-year coachLark Dudley, who said his teamwill be “senior heavy” with nineguys.

Expect the Mustangs to becompetitive especially in themiddle distance events. SeniorEmmanuel Matthews is a mid-

dle distance runner, along withsenior KaRon Dates, who in hisfirst year running is alreadyoutrunning more experiencedguys, said Dudley.

In the sprinting events,watch senior Trevon Johnson inthe 100, 200 and 400 meters; Du-dley said Johnson is a skilledrunner from whom they’re ex-pecting big things this year. Sen-ior Sam Sims and junior AntonKirby are also sprinters whowill help bolster point scoring inthe sprint events.

Junior Yannis Dailey is thelone shot put and discus throwerthis year.

“Columbus is our ultimategoal, getting to state,” said Du-dley.

West High opens its seasonApril 7 at the Ross relays.

La Salle won’t miss a beatagain this track season. TheLancers are an annual power-

house led by coach Frank Russo,who’s entering his 32nd seasonat 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,whom Russo described as veryversatile.

“(Tyler) has great range interms of what he can run; hisspeed and athleticism allow usto be able to move him in a lot ofdifferent directions,” said Rus-so. Harmon a two-time regionalqualifier 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 finalist.

Senior Adam Franklin’s anotherregional finalist knocking on thedoor to state. Senior JordanThompson, a Northwesternfootball signee, is a new additionin shot put and discus. He’sjoined in throwing by LukeDoerger, who Russo said hasgotten bigger, stronger and fast-er. The distance crew is anothertalented, experienced group forthe Lancers in senior MichaelCampbell, juniors Brad Anne-ken, Frank Pierce, Nick Wueste-feld and sophomore Jaylen Ha-sen.

Senior Danny Bellman andjunior J.P. Wang return as polevaulters. Avery Larkin and NickJones are both experienced longjumpers and Pierre Hunter andChristian Turner were bothmembers of relays that reachedthe regional.

“We’re a well-balanced teamthat should be able to score inevery event,” Russo said. “Wehave high expectations – win theGCL, win the district, be a con-tender in the regional and ad-vance as many as we can tostate.”

St. Xavier head track andfield coach Oliver Mason, enter-ing his 10th season with theBombers, said his team is notthe type of team that does wellearly in the season or in littlemeets. But, when the stage getsbigger, and the pressure builds,that’s when the Bombers letloose.

St. Xavier’s a defending Divi-sion I state champion in twoevents – the 4x800 meter relayand 1,600 meter run – both hadMichael Vitucci in common. Vi-tucci, a senior signed with Cin-cinnati, was The Enquirer maletrack Athlete of the Year in 2014and he was also the Division Icross country state championthis past fall. Vitucci’s 1,600state title from last year set anew stadium record with a timeof 4:07.96, and the 4x800 teamset a new OHSAA state record ina time of 7:36.33. Senior BradEagan’s another member re-turning from the 4x800.

Keep a lookout for seniorConnor Stelljes who was a re-gional qualifier last season inshot put and discus. Also, seniorsprinters Rashon Edwards andRonnie Fricke.

Mason said that Frickepulled a hamstring at the end oflast season, cutting his postsea-son short, and if he can stayhealthy he could be there at sea-son’s end.

“We’re gonna be a late-blooming type team,” Mason ex-plained. “The distance and mid-dle distance crew is gonna begood again. I’m excited aboutsome of our sprint relays, too.This should be as good a seasonas we had last year from ourstandpoint.”

SHORT HOPS

Adam [email protected]

Coming off a second-place finish last season inthe Girls Greater CatholicLeague, Seton HighSchool, which won a Divi-sion I district champion-ship last season, returnsan experienced, formida-ble squad that should turnsome heads this season.

The Saints are rich inexperience and depth,both have first-year Setoncoach Brian Laiveling andhis team excited for theseason.

“Team depth has al-ways been a strength atSeton, but this team hasmore depth across allevent areas than we’veever had in my years ofcoaching,” said Laiveling.“We have high-end talentin a lot of events and a cou-ple girls right on theirheels pushing them along... this is the deepest andmost-talented team Setonhas had in a long, longtime.”

Leading the way thisseason for Seton are sen-iors Alyssa Ramstetter,Maria Torok, KelseyKurzhals, Gabriel Hirlin-ger, Gabrielle Kraemerand Lauren Lipps. Ram-stetter, a Dayton signeefor her throws, is lookingto return to state againthis season after finishing11th last year in discus.Ramstetter’s also the de-fending GGCL championin shot put and defendingdistrict champion in dis-cus. Torok’s the defendingdistrict champion in the400 meters, and one of thehardest workers on theteam, Laiveling noted.Kurzhals will help out inthe sprint events; sheholds the school record inthe 200 meters. Lipps willbe another member of thesprint crew, while Hirlin-ger will help again in thedistance events, andKraemer will be backhigh jumping and hur-dling.

Also keep an eye on ju-nior Anna Schoster, thedefending GGCL/districtchampion in the polevault, as well as freshmanErica Schloemer who fin-ished 11th at the statecross country meet andcan run anything from 400meters up to 3,200 meters.Sophomore Audrey Lai-veling’s another key dis-tance runner, and juniorKailua Brown will help inthe sprint relays.

Expect a balancedgroup competing for Mer-cy this season. Accordingto fourth-year coach Den-nis Schapker, the Bobcatsreturn most of their point-scorers from last season.

Mercy’s also comingoff a season in which theBobcats had their firststate qualifier in sevenyears, but Emma Hatchgraduated and is now run-ning for Loyola Chicago.Mercy has 10 seniors lead-ing the charge this year,on a roster of 58 girlswhich is a continued in-crease in recent years.

“I like our balance,”

said Schapker. “Tradition-ally, we’ve been solid inthe distance events andsuffered sprinting wise.There’s a lot more balancein the running events thanwe’ve had before.”

Sophomore sprinterJennifer Ramsey is Mer-cy’s leading returningpoint-scorer from lastseason. Ramsey was a re-gional qualifier in the4x200 and 4x400 relays.

Senior Maria Waters,sophomore Alex Stevensand senior Megan Zeinnerwill be key parts in the dis-tance crew this season.

Seniors Kellie Leonardand Shanaya Jones willhandle hurdling duties.Jones will continue hertrack and field career atWilmington College nextyear, Schapker said. And,in just her second year ofcompeting, junior Madi

Link will compete in shotand discus.

Not only is Mercy well-balanced this season, butthe Bobcats have a depththat runs through theirevents which should helpthem score points.

Oak Hills only graduat-ed two seniors from lastyear, so expect a more ex-perienced group this sea-son for the Highlanders.Fifth-year coach JakeRichards said he expectshis team to perform wellin the mid-distance to dis-tance events. The High-landers had no regionalqualifiers last season.

In the middle and longdistance events look forsophomore Makenzi Dei-desheimer, senior TaylorHoffman, sophomoreYasmine Garadah, juniorLaura Jennrich, juniorSydney Kilgore, senior

Katie Murray (Illinois sig-nee for soccer), sopho-more Liz Scarlato and ju-nior Samantha Savard.Richards said there’sprobably seven girls com-peting right now for thefour relay spots, on whathe says will be a tough4x800 this year.

Richards said theHighlanders have neverbeen known for theirsprinting, but this seasonhe thinks they’ll be im-proved. In the sprintevents, keep an eye onfreshman Tiana Brown,junior Kamilah Williams,junior Jasmine Barnes,junior Briana Staples, ju-nior Alexis Conley andsophomore Megan Kap-pen, who was a GreaterMiami Conference hur-dler finalist as a freshmanlast year.

Senior Rachel Reif is along jumper and one ofthe leaders, captain ma-terial, Richards said. Sen-ior Nia Bellomo will leaddiscus and shot put

throws. Richards said he likes

the numbers on this year’steam, which increased byabout 15 athletes from lastyear.

“That always breedscompetition day in andday out in practice,” saidRichards. “No spot is se-cure because we have somany people gunning forthose spots. I think it’sreally gonna pan out wellfor us as we go throughthe year.”

The roster for West-ern Hills is not as deep onthe girls side. The Mus-tangs will be talented inthe sprint events, butthey’ll lack slightly in thedistance events. Second-year coach Lark Dudleysaid his team will be un-able to field every eventat a meet, but they willstill compete.

With six seniors on theroster, the Mustangs haveleadership. SeniorKyeisha Bell is a sprintingspecialist in 100 and 200

meters. Senior LaureneDarby is another return-ing sprinter to watch.

Junior Miracle Flow-ers will lead the middledistance group, and Du-dley said she’s hard work-er athletically and aca-demically. Dudley alsosaid he’s expecting bigthings from freshmanShayla Springs, who willbe a sprinter and also helpon relays.

“I’m excited about thesprinting events and tosee what Miracle can do inthe middle distance,” Du-dley said, adding thattheir goal is to get somegirls to state and performwell in the Cincinnati Met-ro Athletic Conference.

West High’s first meetis April 7 at the Ross Re-lays.

When looking at St. Ur-sula Academy’s trackand field team, the discus-sion must start with AnnieHeffernan.

The decorated seniorwill lead the Bulldogsonce again this season.

She specializes in the1,600, 3,200 and 4x800 andtook home titles in the 800,1,600, 3,200 and ran the an-chor leg of the 4x800 inlast year’s Girls GreaterCatholic League meet.

She won the gold in the1,600 at state last year.

Fifth-year head coachDan Bird will also look forgood seasons from Dan-ielle Springer, MariaWeisgerber, AlexandraGoss and Caitlin Kelly.

Kelly and Weisgerberwill run the 1,600, 3,200and 4x800 along with Hef-fernan. Springer willcompete in the high andlong jumps. Goss will par-ticipate in the 100 meterhurdles.

She won the event as ajunior at last year’s GGCLmeet.

“We have a talentedsenior and junior class tolead the team, and verylarge sophomore andfreshmen classes whichhave the potential to helpthe team this year,” Birdsaid.
