Boys Track Locker Room Renovation
Boys Track Coach Jeff Koksal spearheaded a campaign to renovate the Boys Track
Locker Room. Wall were painted, new partitions installed, logo sign added, new lockers installed, and new flooring laid to redo and update the locker room. Coach Koksal believes this is a step to develop more pride in being a member of the boys track team. The renovation was done with the assistance of private donations, the Track/XC parent support group, and the maintenance workers of Lancaster City Schools. The above picture shows part of the renovation and Athletic Director Merwyn Bowdish receiving a plaque from Track/XC booster president Ed Effinger to commemorate the event.

The Gales team of Cody Wendell, Daniel Moore, Josh Thompson and Andrew Slater won the 4x1600M Relay; later Wendell, Jentzen Rohr, Stephen Hood and Alex Koksal combined to win the Distance Medley.

April 25, 2009 - Gene Cole Invitational
The Gales Track and Field team posted strong showings in the Fulton Relays and the Gene Cole Invitational, finishing a strong second in both events. Among the many notable performances: - Raheem Kerens, Derek Edwards and Xavier West all set personal bests in the long jump in Saturday’s Gene Gole Invitational. - Eli Schmelzer was consistent in winning the Pole Vault event; both Schmelzer and 2nd place finisher, Eron Knece continue their steady improvement. - Brandon Meadows won the Gene Cole 100M Dash in 11.4(11.34) seconds. Subject to verification, we believe this mark ties the existing LHS Freshman Record. - The 4x200M team of Brandon Meadows, Ethan Cordle, Jacob Dupler and Cameron Heimberger set an LHS Freshman record of 1:37.6 seconds, breaking the old Freshman record set in 1997 by 0.8 seconds. - Jared Wentz ran an outstanding double on Saturday; edged out in the 1600M by less than 0.1 sec., Wentz came back to win the 3200M, running an outstanding tactical race. - The all-Freshman team of Kerens, Dupler, Meadows and Heimberger easily won the 4x400M Relay in 3:43.4. In total, Golden Gales athletes set 30 new personal bests in this weekend’s competition.

April 24, 2009 - Fulton Relays
The Gales Track and Field team posted strong showings in the Fulton Relays and the Gene Cole Invitational, finishing a strong second in both events. Among the many notable performances: - The Long Jump Relay team of Nathan Carpenter and Chris Dilger finished 1st in the Fultons, with the 3rd best combined total in Lancaster Track & Field history – 42’ ½”. Carpenter’s jump of 21’ 11 ‘1/2 is the 5th best all-time individual mark and currently ranks him 3rd in the Central District. - All four runners set personal records as the 4x800M Relay team improved on their previous season best by over 21 seconds. Team members were Daniel Moore, Joey Snook, Derek Edwards and Andrew Bireley. - The Gales 4x200M Relay team moved up to #2 All-time, winning the Fulton event in 1:31.3 seconds. The team of Carpenter, Connor Smith, Kevin Brown and Jentzen Rohr is currently ranked 4th in Central Ohio. These individuals also combined to win the Sprint Medley in the 2nd fastest time in LHS Track & Field history. - The Middle Medley team of Cody Wendell, Cameron Heimberger, Stephen Hood and Andrew Slater set a season best by 20 seconds in winning this unusual event. - The Distance Medley team of Daniel Moore, Raheem Kerens, Jared Wentz and Alex Koksal ran a season best time, with Koksal setting a new personal best for the 1600M in 4:39. - In perhaps the most exciting event of the Fulton Relays, the Lancaster team of Cameron Heimberger, Brandon Meadows, Stephen Hood and Kevin Brown lowered their season best mark by seven seconds to finish in 3:27.8. Brown matched his season best split of 48.9 seconds in anchoring this event.
