From 10 local schools and our scattered cities, villages and hamlets in four counties, it is amazing what athletes from the Eastern Maumee Bay Community can accomplish in one year.
During the Division II regional track meet in Lexington, Ohio, Oak Harbor senior Peyton Bloomer and Genoa senior Noah Koch came back with championships.
Oak Harbor senior Peyton Bloomer started high-jumping in the seventh grade, mostly because her older sister, Ally, did the same event some years before her.

PORT CLINTON For the 11th year in a row, the Oak Harbor girls track team has won a league championship. The Rockets won the Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division, finishing with 166 points.
Margaretta was second with 124 points, followed by Edison (116), Huron (113), Willard (71) and Port Clinton (47).
“I think all year long they felt a little pressure from Huron and Margaretta. In our eyes, it was going to be a really close meet. They were really making us wonder if we could win this year,” said Oak Harbor coach John McKitrick. “This senior class didn’t want to be the ones that lost the streak. Everybody did their job.”
