2026 Outdoor Recap
The 2026 season was about one thing: TEAM.
It was never about separate event groups, individual recognition, or who received the most attention. It was about sprinters, distance runners, hurdlers, jumpers, throwers, vaulters, athletes, and coaches coming together with one shared purpose. This season showed that when we put the program first, support one another, and compete as one TEAM, big things happen.
Together, the program established itself as one of the strongest and most complete track and field programs in Ohio.
Beavercreek captured the overall championship at Wayne Relays, the boys won Hilliard Premiere, and the program brought home a Greene County championship. Both teams finished as runners-up at GWOC Championships before repeating that accomplishment with boys’ and girls’ runner-up finishes at the Division I Regional Championships.
The season concluded with the Beavercreek boys placing third at the OHSAA Division I State Championships—the program’s highest state finish since the 1943 team finished as state runner-up.
School Records
The season also produced an extraordinary number of school-record performances across nearly every event area.
Anais Early broke the school records in the long jump and triple jump.
Tyce Johnson tied the school record in the pole vault.
Faith Brown broke the school record in the 100-meter dash.
Maya Cook broke the school record in the 200-meter dash.
The record-setting 4x100-meter relay included Roman Wilborne, Darius Parker, Ezra Calhoun, and Kelvin Keyes.
The record-setting 4x200-meter relay included Roman Wilborne, Darius Parker, Aaden Hildebrand, and Kelvin Keyes.
The 4x800-meter and 4x1600-meter relay records were broken by Tom Ward, Aiden Allen, Brody Graley, and Jackson Davis.
Individually, Aiden Allen broke the 800-meter school record, while Jackson Davis broke the 1600-meter school record.
These performances did more than rewrite the record book. They raised the standard for future generations of Beavercreek Track & Field athletes.

Every championship, record, conference honor, state qualification, and podium finish contributed to an unforgettable season. However, the true story of 2026 was bigger than any single performance.
The trophies may list the final places, but they do not show every sacrifice, every practice, every recovery day, every personal best, or every teammate standing along the track, runway, or throwing area cheering for someone else.
The 2026 season proved that when Beavercreek Track & Field comes together as one TEAM, big things happen.
