TROY, Ohio — Jared Timmerman is going to state.

The Indian girls have a relay going as well.

They’re primed to have others join them, too.

Timmerman took fourth in the long jump and the Tribe girls’ 4x800-meter relay had the same place to gain state berths for the Fort Recovery High School track and field teams during the first day of the OHSAA Division III regional meet Wednesday at Troy High School.

The top four places in each event advance to the state finals, set for May 31 and June 1 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus.

The FRHS boys, who last week won the program’s first district championship in program history, are in a five-way tie for 12th place with five points after the first day of the meet. They gained the top seed in five events as the meet continues at 6:30 p.m. Friday. Ansonia leads the way with 18 team points.

Fort Recovery’s girls sit fifth with nine points. Fort Loramie and Springfield Catholic Central share the lead with 14 points.

Timmerman had a jump of 20 feet, 5.25 inches, to place fourth and account for all of the Tribe team points thus far. He also placed 11th in the 100-meter dash, and is part of two top-seeded relays. 

The 4x100 relay team of Riley Pearson, Brayden Schoen, Robby LeFevre and Timmerman had a preliminary time of 44.35 seconds to grab the No. 1 seed. Owen Moorman, Jacob Acheson, Drew Muhlenkamp and Timmerman are seeded first in the 4x400 relay with their time of 3 minutes, 26.8 seconds.

Pearson, Moorman, Schoen and LeFevre have the top seed in the 4x200 relay in 1:31.25, and LeFevre is seeded No. 1 in both the 100 dash (11.14 seconds) and 200 dash (22.22 seconds) races.

Kierra Wendel, Cassy Martin, Ava Bubp and Chloe Will ran to a school-record time of 9:49.04 in the 4x800 relay to place fourth and qualify for the state finals.

The best seed for the FRHS girls heading into Friday’s action comes by way of the 4x400 relay. Abbie Francis, Wendel, Will and Martin crossed the finish line in 4:09.55 and are seeded third. Audrey Guggenbiller, Francis, Martin and Wendel are the fifth seed in the 4x200 relay in 1:49.51, and Martin is seeded sixth in the 400 dash with her time of 1:01.88.

Whitley Rammel, who on Saturday won the district championship in shot put, placed fifth with her throw of 36 feet, 4.25 inches.
