Genoa Track & Field

Why is track & field such a great sport? Reason #1 - variety! Sprints, relays, hurdles, distance, shot put, discus, pole vault, long jump, triple jump, high jump… every one of these event categories requires a DIFFERENT type of athletic performance!

Congratulations to Nathan Kesler for earning an 8th place finish in both the 200m and 400m dash in Division 2 at the OHSAA State Championship meet! Great accomplishment, Comet nation is proud! #WeAreGC
