WOAC Boys 2025 League Track Meet Championship Results


The Ansonia Boys Track & Field Team made it back-to-back WOAC League Championships and 3rd in four years.  

Story & Photos by Dale Barger

NEW MADISON – The Ansonia Boys Track Team won the 2025 Western Ohio Athletic Conference Track & Field Championship.

It would be a competitive meet with the Tigers notching out first place with 138 points for back-to-back championships.  They have won the title three out of the first 4-years of the WOAC Conference with Twin Valley South winning the title in 2022-23.

The Newton Indians finished in second place with 99 points and Arcanum was third with 74.

It was a record setting Track and Field event with 12 new WOAC meet records in the 17 events scored.

Milesplit the official timekeeper also tracks elite performances amongst all high school athletes for each state and the nation, and five elite performances were registered in Ohio. 

They were Seth Coker of Newton in the 400m, 49.26, Tri-Village’s Noah Finkbine 6-6 in High Jump, Ansonia’s Cade Shellhaas 15’ in Pole Vault, Tri-Village’s Dominic Black with a 52-9 in shot put and Preble Shawnee’s  Cooper Shrout with a 53-0.5 in the shot.


Preble Shawnee junior Cooper Shrout took home the WOAC Field Athlete of the Year for the 2nd year in a row.

Cooper Shrout won both throwing events with a new league record in shot 53-0.5 and in the discus with a toss of 147 feet.  Those throws earned him the WOAC 2025 Field Athlete of the Year, repeating the feat he accomplished in 2024 as well.

There were a number of impressive running performances, but two Ansonia runners would emerge as WOAC 2025 Co-Runners of the Year, sophomore Cade Shellhaas and senior Brayden Bromagem.


Ansonia Sophomore Cade Shellhaas was the WOAC Co-Runner of the Year.

Shellhaas broke records in both the 110m and 300m Hurdles.  He ran the 110m and won in a record time of 15.10 and the 300m in 40.86. Shellhaas also was a member of the 4x200 winning relay team that set a record at 1:30.98 and Cade won the Pole Vault setting a new league record at 15’.  He would earn WOAC 2025 Co-Runner of the Year honors.


Ansonia senior Brayden Bromagem was also be named the WOAC Co-Runner of the Year.

Bromagem shattered the league record in the 100m dash with a flat 11.0 in prelims and in the finals that he won, ran 11.36.  He also was a member of the 4x200 winning relay team that set a record at 1:30.98 and was second in the 200m and was named WOAC 2025 Co-Runner of the Year.

Other notable performances were turned in by Newton’s Seth Coker setting records in both the 200m and 400m runs.  Coker won the 400m dash with a record time of 49.26 and set a record in the 200m with a 22.80 in prelims but slipped into 6th place in the finals.

In the 800m and 1600m Ansonia teammates sophomore Bennett Lehman and senior Ethan Sparks were a 1-2 combo.  Lehman won both the 800m in 4:36.19 and 1600m in 2:02.01, with Sparks finishing just behind in both events for 2nd place.

This would be the third league championship for Ansonia boys track and field coach Clint Neil who along with girls coach Craig Riethman basically coach both programs across the board.

Coach Neil talked about the winning the team championship again.

“We knew going in that if we did our job, that things were going to come out the way we wanted, so the focus was to dial in on the details all week and stay together, make sure to keep each other in line. It's a long two days, and so to be there for each other and to do your job. And that's what they did,” Neil stated.

Not everything went perfect or according to plan, but the coaching staff plans for contingency, and they would be pushed by the Newton and Arcanum’.

“Everything went according to plan. I mean, there's a couple races where we finished maybe second instead of first. But we kind of planned for those things, for the worst-case scenario, so if it doesn't happen, we're still sitting okay with total points. We knew Newton was going to come in and push us a little bit. Fortunately, things just went our way, and we were hitting PRs, and hitting those goals we had in mind,” Neil concluded.


Ansonia Tigers boys coach Clint Neil was the WOAC Coach of the Year.

The Tigers will look to continue their success with the District Meet coming up this week.

Story and Photos by Dale Barger

NEW MADISON – The Ansonia Lady Tigers won the 2025 Western Ohio Athletic Conference Track Championship going away scoring 170 points.  Arcanum was 2nd with 92 points and Tri-.Village 3rd with 80.

Ansonia made it a 3-Peat winning the track title for the third time in the four years since the conference started.  Arcanum won the initial league title in 2021-22.

 There were a number of record setting performances and standout athletes at this year’s championship event.

Milesplit the official timekeeper also tracks elite performance amongst all high school athletes for each state and the nation, and five elite performances were registered in Ohio. 

They were Ansonia’s London Reichert in Pole Vault 11’6”, Arcanum’s Faith Wooten in both Shot Put  37-9.5 and Discus 129-9, Ansonia’s Olivia Creager 17-7 and Tri-Village’s Adalynn Hines 17-10.5 both in Long Jump.


Ansonia London Reichert was 2025 WOAC Co-Runner of the Year.

Ansonia’s London Reichert won the Pole Vault, 400m, 200m and finished 2nd in the 100m.  Along the way she set WOAC league records in three running events: 400m, 59.9, 200m, 26.2 and 100m in prelims with a 12.70 second run.

Tri-Village’s Adalynn Hines also shined in several events and found herself going toe-to-toe with Reichert in several running events as well. 


Adalynn Hines of Tri-Village was 2025 WOAC Co-Runner of the Year. 

Hines won the long jump, 100m, and was 1st in the 4x100m relay and 2nd in the 200m.

Hines league records included 17’-10.5” in the long jump and her 4 x 100 relay team of Heidi Bell, Emma Whaley and Jayla Coby set a record time of 51.44.

Reichert and Hines were both named 2025 WOAC Co-Runners of the Year.


Adalynn Hines and London Reichert battled a number of times and very little could separate the two in 100m and 200m races.

Arcanum junior Faith Wooten swept the throwing events to earn the 2025 WOAC Field Events Athlete of the Year. She won the shot put with a throw of 37’-09.5” and the discus at 129’-9”.


Arcanum jr. Faith Wooten would be names the WOAC 2025 Girls Track Field Athlete of the Year by way of winning both Discus and Shot Put events.

Other notable performances turned in was from Newton freshman Michaela Flora setting a new league record winning the 3200m in 11:53.40  and the 1600m in record time of 5:28.44.

The Twin Valley South relay team of Josey Butler, Grace Childers, Kelsie Maggard and Karsyn Roell set a new WOAC record of 4:20.20 in the 4x400.

The Newton relay team of Cole Thompson, Gentri Deaton, Claire Stull 10 and Michaela Flora set a new record in the 4x800 in a time of 10:32.90.

The Ansonia relay team of Rose Barga, Olivia Creager, Gabby Leeper and Lauren Warner set a new record in the 4x200 with a time of 1:47.97 10.

While Ansonia coach Craig Riethman and Clint Neil both coach the boys and girls track program together they each earned coach of the year honors. Craig was recognized as WOAC 2025 Girls Track Coach of the Year.


Ansonia girls track coach Craig Riethman accepts the 2025 Coach of the Year Award for the 3rd straight year.

“We had a really good meet, and the girls came out and did a great job of competing and did everything we asked of them,” Riethman stated.

“We got to give praise to our senior leadership on both the girls and the boys side. It has been incredible. The way the team responds to them with the themes they had throughout the year. There was a cowboy theme, ever a meet that didn’t even know about, they had a tattoo theme. They do a lot of things, it may not look the way we would have wanted it to look … but the culture is being set and excellent examples being led by the seniors,”
Riethman concluded.

Here are the are the team and individual results for the Girls WOAC 2025 Track Meet.
