Winton Woods hurdler stars in Coaches Cla

        Erasing the memory of last year's disappointment in the 110 high hurdles at the Division I regional track meet is the only goal set by Carlos Tipton of Winton Woods this season.

        Disqualified for knocking a hurdle into an adjacent lane, Tipton walked away from Welcome Stadium in Dayton vowing to come back and win it all.

        Despite a strong wind, Tipton appeared in midseason form during the Coaches Classic Invitational Saturday at Fairfield, easily winning in 14.9.

        “I've seen how tough it is to make the regional,” said Tipton, who will play football at Indiana. “I was in the lead when I hit the final hurdle. I stumbled and ended up third and would have qualified to state.”

        A 6-foot-2, 190-pound senior, Tipton played four positions (tailback, fullback, linebacker, safety) on the football team.

        “I plan to use last year's experience and disappointment to remain focused and win it all,” Tipton said.

        Tipton's football teammate and Division I 145-pound state wrestling champion Ian Ruth won the 100-meter dash.

        MIDDLETOWN, COLERAIN TOPS: Middletown easily outdistanced St. Xavier 96-61 en route to the win for the boys. Dennis Gates (400) and Tyran Thompson (200) led the Middies. Both were on the record setting 400 relay team (42.64).

        Colerain won the girls title with 101 points, finishing 11 ahead of Walnut Hills. Alysa Croxton set a meet record in the 400 (59.03).

        WELCOME BACK: Winning the long jump (17-1 1/4) was a confidence builder for Purcell Marian senior Carlina Flowers.

        Ranked 15th in the U.S. Junior Olympics, Flowers suffered a severe leg injury while running cross country and spent two months in a cast before undergoing two more months of physical therapy.

        “The bone in my left leg separated from the muscle,” Flowers said. “I only jumped 14 feet in the first meet and 15 in the second. I push off with the right leg, but I questioned if I could do it this year.”

        Flowers, a member of the Cincinnati All Stars summer team, achieved a career best jump of 17-7 in July at the Junior Olympic meet in Buffalo, N.Y.

        “My goal is to jump 18-9 and win the (Division II) state championship,” Flowers said. “Last year, it took 18-1 to win the state, and if I continue to practice and stay focused, I can do it.”

        LONG RUN: While Tipton is inspired by adversity, St.Xavier's defending Division I state champion 3,200-meter relay team is motivated by past successes.

        “We're hungry for more,” said senior Ryan Busse, also a member of the Bombers' Division I state champion cross country team. “We're stronger this year, because Tim (King) and I were the weaklings last year.”

        Busse was joined by Jeremy Mosher, Andy Weitmarschen and Ian Fehring to easily win the 2-mile event. King sat out the meet with a knee injury.

        FOOT PAIN: Winning the high jump (6-6) didn't bring a smile to the face of Erik Reynolds, a senior at Lakota East who finished sixth at last year's state meet.

        “I jumped too much before the season and hurt my left foot,” Reynolds said. “I go to therapy three times a week, but it's not much better. But it's too early to start worrying about it.”

        Reynolds passed until the bar was at 6-4, which he cleared easily. He missed the first attempt at 6-6 but cleared it on the next jump.

        The jump gave Reynolds the championship, but he decided to try 6-9. He missed all three attempts.
