Bolton ended up scoring 4th for Coffman and ran a pretty weak time considering what he has been running earlier in the season, and Coffman only had 1 runner in the top 20. Even with these results, Coffman still manages to win the stacked central Regional. I think Mason, Mass. Jackson, St.X and Coffman are the teams to watch for the podium. Thoughts?

Agreed.

That was not Mason’s best race this season, and they still had the best performance of the day.

I actually thought St. Xavier looked like the 2nd best team in Ohio today. Great at 1-2-3.

Dub. Coffman took a huge step forward from the last two weeks. Solid at #1, big gap to their #2, but their 3-4 was right there.

Mas. Jackson was solid at 1-2, but a huge gap between there and their #3.

Landon Kimmel. Destroyed the field at Troy. Ran the entire race by himself, finishing in 15:05–close to a course record. He’s a sophomore. Watch out folks. This kid is next level talent.

He didnt look all that next level at Berlin when he raced the Central Ohio boys. Gabelman beat him by 20 seconds, Smith by almost 10. And Richuitti didnt run. Kimmel is good, but he's not as good as these guys.

That was his third consecutive big time regular season meet. He beat Evan Trapp the week before, and then ran 14:4X a week later. He’ll be ready a week from now.

What a negative thing to say. Kid is a sophomore and a phenomenal runner.

I recoil at people hopping on forums to pimp their own runner. It was a pompous post. Yes, he's good. Great even. But if you're going to use the term "next level" to describe your guy, be prepared for a reality check by objective fans who know where he really stands. And he isn't Gabelman or those other guys. Not yet, anyway.

Big time disrespect. They keep sleeping on these boys. But they know what they’re doing. Saving the best for last.

You've been calling it all season . . . nice one.

Interesting to see how things shook out from ranking to actual regional result:

1 --> 3

2--> 5

3 --> 6

4 --> 1

5 --> 2

6 --> 7

Once again, just stating the obvious: we knew that these final results could shake out in any which way. Central Ohio brings the excitement. I feel that all of these teams can finish in the top ten at Obetz.

It's also not surprising that the no. 6 team missed out by one point and the no. 7 team was ten points removed from fourth place.

re: Peter Gibbons

I am beginning to think of my top 25 individuals and top 10 teams at Obetz list for the D1 boys race. Kimmel will go in my top ten. McMahon of UA ran really well at Pickerington; after doubting him earlier, I may put him in my top ten as well. Weston Day will also probably have a spot in my top ten.

I am leaning towards picking Mason for top honors and that unprecedented three-peat. Well, Ackley won the double in June so maybe 2023 is the year of the rarities.

At this point I am thinking Mason, Mass. Jackson, St. X, and Coffman for top four--I will probably change this by Wednesday.

I am also thinking Toledo St. Francis can finish in the top ten for the second year in a row--they seemed to have a good regional meet. Not sure how I feel about NE Ohio teams.

I am wondering if Connor Long, NW Ohio regional champ, could crack the top ten. I am leaning towards a yes on that one.

What a difference a year makes. It was a thing of beauty watching Ricchiuti hawk Tommy Rice in the final straightaway at Obetz in 2022 -- he and Gabelman were well behind upon entering the stadium, but Ricchiuti soared and got the no. 2. Gabelman wasn't able to go with him.

A year later at Pickerington, Ricchiuti and Gabelman were together but hitting that final bend, Gabelman put it into fifth gear and looked really good. He remains my favorite for individual title. I can put Ricchiuti at second for the second year in a row -- that's a fine career -- finishes of 9th, 2nd, and 2nd in four years at the state meet.

I’m not sure what you mean by “their own runner”. I didn’t use the term “next level” either so you don’t comprehend well. Objective fans would probably say a Sophomore doing what this Tipp kid is doing is pretty impressive.

Yes. And I've been one disagreeing. Props to Scioto. They ran the race of their lives when they needed to. The choas and unknown of XC rears its head like this. It's why we love the sport, right? Good luck next week.

You didnt read the original post then. Scroll back to read the post by "givetallugot". You can't comprehend what you didn't read, so I won't belittle you. But bro... find the context before you post.

I did read the original post bro, I was pointing out that I wasn’t the one the said “next level”. Keep up.

Yeah no shi. You were defending the guy whose post and words I was referring to, and calling my response to him shallow. Why would you think I meant you were pimping him, when it clearly was "givetallugot"? Keep up. You must be from Tipp City or something.

Obvious right? wrote:
No one predicted Scioto would beat Kilbourne because no one predicted Miller to not race. Same reason that most people (myself included) didn't see Orange or Liberty beating Coffman because I didn't expect Bolton not to race. Kilbourne is not going to lose to Scioto again as long as they run their full team.

This didn’t age too well
