Schnieber Brings Home Third Consecutive MVC Pole Vault Title
Yesterday, the track and field team competed at the Miami Valley Conference HS Track & Field Championship at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy. The boys took home fourth place (63 points) and the girls took home fifth place (67 points).
Luke Schnieber '27 continued his remarkable season by capturing first place in the boys' pole vault with a vault of 17'1.25". The mark secured his third consecutive MVC title while also setting a new personal best, breaking his own school record, and establishing a new all-time MVC record. Even more impressively, the vault stands as the top mark in Ohio this season, surpassing the previous leading height of 17'0" set at the Mason Rod Russell Invitational by Centerville High School.
Meet results:
Runner-ups: William Lothmann '26 in the boys' 400-meter dash (49.76, breaking his own school record), Luke Schnieber in the boys' 300-meter hurdles (39.85), Nicole Hardesty in the girls' high jump (4-08.00), and the boys' 4x100-meter relay (44.59) of Luke Schnieber, Peyton Ware '29, Nathan Kellenberger '29, and Leon Hall '27.
