What they’re saying

“Ava Majzun is 13-years-old, she moved up a grade. She's a super competitive kid, very talented, fouled her 1st jump by less than an inch, (but) by the time she got to the finals, she had fallen back. Ava was supposed to be eighth or ninth.”

— Nathan Howard, Eastwood Coach

“Camille became a much more confident jumper. She had no misses, and was super consistent. We were talking to her high-jump coaches, and they think 5-4 or 5-5 is possible.”

— Nathan Howard, Eastwood Coach

“Josie was great. When she was a freshman, she tore her ACL in basketball, and last year as a sophomore, she had a brace. She is light years ahead of where she was last year. She sets the tone, brings girls to the weight room, is a leader and had a phenomenal day.”

— Nathan Howard, Eastwood Coach

What’s next

The Eastwood girls track team will now turn its focus to the outdoor season, where they hope to build on their strong indoor performance and compete for more championships.

The takeaway

Eastwood's girls track and field program continues to be one of the best in Ohio, with a runner-up finish at the state indoor meet showcasing the team's depth of talent and competitive drive. The Eagles' success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the athletes and coaches.
