Loveland's Tyler Schwinn and Moeller's Koa Anoai were Cincinnati's first two state champions on Friday. In the DII high jump, Schwinn clipped the bar on his first jump at 6 feet, then twice at 6-foot-5 before clearing the 6-foot-6 bar on the first try, besting Tippecanoe's Trey Sellers and Fremont Ross' Mason Englund. Anoai won the DI shot put with a new school record of 60 feet, 8 inches; four of his six throws were better than Avon's Max Hauck, who took second place.
Coming off a runner-up finish at the 2025 DI outdoor state meet, Mason's Austin White completed the Cincinnati sweep of the shot put, winning the girls DI contest with a throw of 42 feet, 0.25 inches.
The Indian Hill boys 4x800 meter relay team claimed the first local track title of the day, with the quarter of James McGrath, Tyler Martin, James O'Driscoll and Harry Hong crossing the line in 7:59.18, almost four seconds ahead of Jonathan Alder.
Maryland commit Azarae Hawkins gave Mason a second female state champion, winning the 60-meter dash in a new personal best of 7.42 seconds. She also won the 200-meter dash in 24.41 seconds. With 30 combined points from White and Hawkins, the Mason girls were the DI team runner-up with 53 points, 16 behind Hilliard Davidson.
St. Xavier's Dom Ellis, was Cincinnati's final champion of the day, winning the 3,200-meter run in a new personal best of 9:13.04, almost a three-second margin of victory over Little Miami's Ryne Reynolds.
The Loveland girls were the highest-placing team in DII, scoring 43 points to finish as the runner-up, just seven points behind Chaminade Julienne. Caroline Murnan scored a handful of points, taking second place in the 400-meter dash, helping the 4x200 meter relay team to a runner-up finish and the 4x800 meter relay to a third-place finish. Delaney Cilley was also the 800-meter runner-up and took fifth place in the 1,600-meter run.
Led by Anoai's win, Teague Boland's third-place finish in the high jump and the third-place result in the 4x400 meter relay, Moeller was the highest-placing DI boys team, taking fourth place with 25.5 points.
St. Xavier was right behind with 25 points, powered by Beckett Stimson's runner-up pole vault result and a third-place finish in the 4x800 meter relay. Mason took seventh place with 23 points and Little Miami tied for 10th with 19 points.
Indian Hill tied for eighth place in the DII boys team race thanks to its relay win and O'Driscoll and McGrath both scoring points in the 1,600-meter run.
