Grandview Heights Roundup: Balance lifts Bobcats boys track team to MSL-Ohio title
ThisWeek group
The Grandview Heights boys track and field team used muscle and depth to win its first league championship since 2017.
The Bobcats scored 176 points to outdistance runner-up Bexley (109) in the MSL-Ohio Division meet May 11 and 14 at Whitehall. Collin Haj Abed won three events and Owen Billiter and Matthew Taylor dominated in the throws to help secure the victory.
“To score that many points, you need a lot of points from a lot of different areas,” coach Brian Schoch said. “We had a big day in the field, and we were able to score a lot across the board in the (running) finals on the second day.”
According to Kristy Mason, shelter manager, all euthanized animals were performed out of medical or behavioral necessity. “The majority of them are medical. There are a few that were behavioral, that were beyond control. Most of the medical ones though, they were out of compassion,” Mason said. “It was to save them from suffering any longer.” She said that veterinary care is a major component to avoid these preventable outcomes. Mason believes that for some people, there’s a learning curve where they aren’t aware of how regularly their animals require vaccination “If people were to vaccinate and take their animals to the vet and get them the help that they need before things like this happen, then that would be the biggest help,” she said. “Immunizations and just regular vet care – deworming, things like that.”

“Being that she is younger and a first time momma, we wanted to be standing by just in case she needed us,” said Kristy Mason, shelter manager. “We have cameras set up that we have linked to our phone, so even when we’re at home we would check frequently. We would give her an exam every day just to see how she’s doing, if there’s any problems, checking her temperature – just waiting to see the signs of her giving birth.” When Brownie did go into labour, staff were ready with a sterile cart holding pads, gloves, and antiseptic spray.
