There are many ways to measure a successful team & season. Kids who love to train together & care about each other is certainly a good measure. Would take this group of Generals any day!!

On August 1 (the 1st day of XC practice in Ohio), sophomore Cari Varner said, “We’re going to States.” And then she & her teammates worked for it every day. Now, these girls are the 1st
@AW_XC

Absolute career day on the state’s biggest stage for Cam Nightingale. He came into the meet w/ a PR & school record of 13’8”. He leaves 12th in the State of Ohio w/ a new PR & school record of 14’6”. A remarkable day to cap a remarkable career!

Exceedingly proud of this group: 9 PRs out of our 14 runners today. Girls team advances, boys team came heartbreakingly close, and 2 boys do move on. Excited to extend the season with this crew!

Yesterday we honored our seniors. It’s been a privilege to coach these students who have done so much for this team for 4 years. They are grateful we could have a 2020 season & appreciate what they learned & who they met thru XC. No reason to hold back at today’s NLL meet!
It was both their day and not their day. Ella, Liv, Sophia & Mallori gave it their all but will not advance to tomorrow’s finals. A fabulous season and it finishes on the biggest stage. Congrats, ladies!
After consulting with Mr. Kalo, counselor to the ⭐️s, proud to report both Hailey Kahl & Connor Long have earned Academic All-Ohio honors! 📚 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️
Congrats!
What a special, special group! AW XC senior night for the class of 2022. They’ve done so much on & off the course. True student-athletes. They will be sorely missed when they’re done, but still have things to do in 2021!

Congratulations to Connor Long on his commitment to the Buckeyes!!
No one works hard, cares more, or is more committed! A fitting cap to a great fall season & excited for the spring with this young man & to watch him compete for Ohio State!

#studentathletes
Some final thoughts as our 2022 season has come to an end. These guys simply focused on their training all summer & all season & improved week to week.
❤️️❤️️ We first introduced you to Aiden Green 2 years ago. He's a seated athlete at Anthony Wayne. Tonight, in an amazing gesture of inclusion, the Generals had Aiden join in a relay and he raced right alongside his teammates for the first time. ❤️️❤️️
As we head to the

Congrats to Connor Long on a fantastic Churchill’s Half Marathon taking 10th overall! Also congrats to Mallory Humphrey, Marina Humphrey, Ana Karmol, Brandy Outly, Cari Varner, Belle Whitehurst, Mya Sebek, Courtney Fink & Lilly Schaller on their half marathon runs today!
As
@awlshs
said, so very proud of Gia, Liv, Maddie, & Mallori, the day they had yesterday & their tremendous season: league champs, now league record holders in the 4x200, district champs, and regional champs. Simply extraordinary!
🚨 🚨 🚨 Kicking off the night in style, the girls 4x800 team of Maddy Jones, Mel O’Connor, Kendall Fieweger, & Hailey Kahl ran a season’s best time of 9:48, took 2nd, & qualified for next week’s Regional Championship! Congrats, girls!
How about Ana Karmol? A 4 time state qualifier, 3x All Ohio, 3x Academic All Ohio. Absolute tough competitor. 40th in the state meet is not what she wanted but she gave it her all today. An absolute honor to coach her for 4 falls & looking forward to her spring on the track!
An absolutely AWesome day at the Division 1 Regional XC championships in Tiffin, Oh. The boys defied the experts again and, after a 15 year absence from Regionals, finished 3rd!
