Westerville North Track

It’s that time of the year again, Track OCCs. As the 2023 track season comes to an end, all varsity and junior varsity athletes have prepped for the big end-of-season Ohio Capital Conferences. Each event will take their top 3 athletes for the varsity OCC, and their next two best athletes for their junior varsity OCC. This year the JV OCC was a huge success and the women’s team came out with a win.

On Tuesday, the junior varsity athletes went against 14 different schools in Central Ohio. The track meet took place at Westerville North High School and lasted from 4:30 pm to 9:30 pm. Although the meet was quite nerve-wracking, all the athletes gave their best, and many ended up scoring points for the team and placing very high.

Below are the athletes that competed at the challenging meet and their ranks:
