Earning a spot on relays for championship meets is a great point of pride for The College of Wooster track and field program, and those on this year's men's distance medley relay put the exclamation point on their selection with All-Ohio honors at Saturday's All-Ohio Championships.

First-years Max Kollhoff and Tyler Frye and seniors Reese Johnson and Zane DeMercurio raced to the third-place time of 10:45.32 to claim the final All-Ohio spot. Wooster's 4x200 relay of juniors Nate Chartrand and Robert Hillhouse, sophomore Dasebre Ofosu-Manu, and junior Cooper Norwell went 1:32.84 for seventh. Their time was just shy of the school-record 1:32.15 turned in by Mark Herron, Drake Pence, Kristian Coleman, and national qualifier Will McMichael in 2020.

Seniors Evie Sanford and Sophia Mellis scored for Wooster's women at the annual meet comprised of the best of the best from NCAA Div. III programs throughout Ohio. Sanford went 40 feet, 5.5 inches for fifth in the shot put and topped out at 45 feet, 1 inch for 20th in the weight throw. Mellis debuted at All-Ohio with the eighth-place time of 2:24.97 in the 800 meters.

Chartrand, Hillhouse, Frye, and Kollhoff just missed scoring in the 4x400 relay, where they teamed up for a 3:34.90, which ranked 10th.

Sophomore Franklin Adu-Baah sprinted to a 7.15 for 14th in the prelims of the 60-meter dash. Senior Rob Mays III had top marks of 45 feet, 7 inches in the weight throw and 43 feet, 1.25 inches in the shot put, which ranked 15th and 18th, respectively.

Senior Essaie Mezmur rounded out the Scots' competitors in the high jump.  

Baldwin Wallace University was the men's team champion at All-Ohio. Ohio Wesleyan University was the women's team champion.

Next, Wooster is off to Kenyon College for a Friday night meet on Feb. 20. It serves as the final tune-up ahead of the North Coast Athletic Conference Championships, which take place Feb. 27-28 at Wittenberg University.
