OCC Recap:  Hilliard Davidson traveled across town for the OCC Championships on the fields of Hilliard Darby.  The morning was crisp and the dew coved grass greeted the runners as they made their way to our pre planned camp site.  Once Davidson settles in, the runners grabbed their shim and walked to the starting line for their OCC ritual.  Coach Schlecht explained to the runners that every Davidson runner who has run for Coach Schlecht has been through this same ceremony.  The Hilliard Davidson alumni will be watching you and expecting your best and each of you are representing something bigger than even your team.

The Team then inspected the course with their coaches and focused on the mental aspects of championship races.  The Davidson seniors then took each of the runners’ shims and put them into the ground.  This is our ground and Davidson is ready for the challenge.

The varsity race started at 10:30 AM.  The pace was hot with Johnston from Liberty going right to the front.  Burdette went with the Liberty runner and Knapik stayed back with his team where a huge pack formed.  At the mile, Colin followed Johnston at 4:44, Knapik and company went through the mile around five minutes.  Johnston pushed and by the two mile Burdette was running alone in second.  The pack was solid with five Davidson runners together at 10:03.  Schlecht and Adam Hoover fell back at 10:27 & 10:32.  The drive to the finish was awesome.  Hoover and Whitney followed Knapik while McKeown’s legs felt tight.  Schlecht and Adam kept pushing to the finish.  Davidson had four first team All-OCC runners in Burdette 2nd 15:12, Knapik 4th 15:36, Whitney’s big break through 6th 15:46 and Luke Hoover 7th 15:47.  Johnny McKeown staggered to the finish in 15th place 16:15. Johnny was well off his game so next time Davidson will be even better.  Schlecht ran a PR in 21st, 16:28 as did Adam Hoover in 25th, 16:37.

Hilliard Davidson ran on tired legs but their Coaches demanded a Championship.  Davidson Knows that all their focus is still three weeks away but the thrill of championship racing builds character and a desire to do better next week.  Expect great things and they will come one step at a time.  Davidson is on a mission, we have our Mojo and we will achieve!

                        Split:  16:54 to 17:36 = 42 seconds, good job.

                        Score: 2, 4, 6, 7, 9 = 28

Open Race Recap:  Ahmed Abdi went right to the front and the Davidson pack was looking good.  Liberty was in control in the first half of the race but Davidson turned in on when they had to.  O’Rorke and Mendola pushed each other in the first half of the race but then O’Rorke found the energy he has been missing as of late to finish in 4th place in 17:24.  Ahmed Abdi was second after losing a sprint finish in 16:54.  The charging Hans Hartle followed by freshmen Chris Egolf finished right behind 6th place finisher Paul Mendola, who crossed the line in17:28.  Hartle was 7th in 17:32 with Egolf  9th in 17:36.  Turney and Getz finished in 11th and 14th place.  The pack was what made this championship.  Hartle led his pack from 10 seconds back to finished close enough to Mendola to secure another Davidson Championship.  Great Job!

This group of young men have displayed excellence every day.  Their commitment and hard work for Davidson has earned them the right to continue on to NXN Nationals.  The expectations of this group are to be at all functions and focus on the varsity team’s journey as we prepare for the State Championships and NXN Nationals.  I am thrilled to have so many talented young runners learning what success is.  Their journey through the middle of November is just getting started and they will learn no matter how fast they are today that their expectations are to develop into championship runners and teams.  There will be a fee and the runners will get a Uniform top for JV and NXN meets.  The Open runners will run on the Sunday after Regionals in Sandusky Ohio for the State Junior Varsity Championships. The meet will be held at Firelands College Campus (Huron, Ohio) Mr. Hartle will coach this team on this day.
