Ohio Moments
Columbus high school was 1st state champion
On May 23, 1908, the first Ohio High School Athletic Association state championship took place at Denison University's Beaver Field in Granville. It was a track-and-field tournament that included more than 100 entrants from 23 of the 30 member schools.
The first champion, Columbus North High School, had 19 points. Second place went to Dayton's Steele High School, with 16 points.
A voluntary, nonprofit association of public and private schools, the OHSAA was born at a meeting of the Western Ohio Superintendents Round Table in 1906. George R. Eastman of Steele High School was the first president of the association, whose board met for the first time in Columbus in 1907. By 1999, the association had 816 member high schools and 855 members in the seventh- and eighth-grade school division.
