Two Indian Lake athletes will compete this weekend at the Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches Indoor State Championship, set for March 6–7 at SPIRE Academy in Geneva.

Aidan Stinebaugh and Kade Richardson qualified for the state meet in the triple jump after recording top-16 distances during the indoor season.

Stinebaugh, making his first appearance at the championship meet, enters the competition seeded third.

“Aidan has a lot of potential, and we’re excited to see him compete at this level,” Indian Lake coach Justin Metzger said.

Richardson returns to the meet for the second consecutive year and is seeded 12th.

“Kade has experience at this meet, and we’re hoping he can build on that and compete well,” Metzger said.
