Troy HS Girls T&F, 2016 D1 XC State Runner-Up, 13 straight league titles in T&F 2011-24, 6 District titles in T&F 2015-19,23 , XC League Champs 2008-2020,22,23
The high school cross country teams competed at the Mel Brodt Invite at Bowling Green on Saturday. Instead of sharing the results, I would rather share a message sent to use by one of our competitors parents. Proud of the sportsmanship displayed by one of our young ladies:
Congrats to Morgan Gigandet on her 20th place finish at Nike Nationals today and earning All-American honors! What a way to end a high school cross country career!
It’s with a heavy heart that I share that long-time Troy Track & Field Coach Herb Hartman has passed away. Coach Hartman spent 60 years in the track & field program as a coach & athlete. He will be greatly missed but his impact on the athletes in Troy will always be remembered.
I love this quote from Tony Holler in the latest
@TFConsortium
webinar. "Track & Field is the sport where a school's best athletes compete against another school's best athletes." An opportunity for everyone to compete & no place to hide! Troy HS athletes: come join us!

Leah Harnish won the 400m dash and was 6th in the 200m dash at Wayne last night! Leah's winning time in the 400 was 57.26 which is now the current
#1
time in the state of Ohio!
Heart is broken for our seniors who won't be able to have their final track & field season. We graduate a special group that has won 3 GWOC North titles, 2 Overall GWOC titles, 3 District titles, & had 2 Top 10 team finishes at State! We will miss these 15 tremendous young ladies
Good thing we had Regional XC last weekend! This is what the flood plain (1st 2 miles) of the Troy course looks like currently. I wonder if National Trail looks anything like this.

Congrats to Dinah Gigandet on her signing day to continue her career at THE Ohio State University! I know she will be Dinah-mite for the Buckeyes & I am looking forward to her finishing her Dinah-sty at Troy this spring in track & field! Sorry for the puns, couldnt help myself.
Dinah Gigandet's progression at state over the last 3 years:
2017: 158th, 21:09
2018: 41st, 19:27
2019: 16th, 18:23
Favorite stat from today: In Dinah's freshman year, she only beat 15 girls in the state meet. Today, only 15 girls beat Dinah in the state meet!
DINAH-MITE!

First day of outdoor track and field is here.
Freshman: If it is raining, will we still practice?
Coach: Yes!
Freshman: If it is snowing, will we still practice?
Coach: Yes!
Freshman: If it is ...
Coach: Yes!
See you at the stadium at 3:00!
We have waited a long time to have a track & field meet. I have missed the expressions I get to see on our kids faces, whether it be from complete jubilation or crushing disappointment. Those emotions tell a story for each athlete and shows how much this sport means to them. TFTF

Hannah Duff will be on the podium, tying for 8th place in the pole vault! Had to wait for several weather delays and hung tough to get All-Ohio! She also had a great fan club!
Hannah Duff is STATE BOUND!!!!!! Hannah finished 3rd at Regionals with a vault of 11-4 and will compete in Columbus next Saturday! Congrats
@hannahduff06
& Coach Bowen!
I am convinced after looking at District track & field results that more track & field divisions are essential in Ohio. Every division keeps improving and track & field is so strong in Ohio! Let’s give more kids the recognition they deserve like other sports!
@OHSAASports
