A two-point race puts Newcomerstown and Malvern on the district bubble
Six Cambridge mock races show who holds the last team places, which individuals are next in line and the finishes that could change the trip to regionals.
Newcomerstown and Malvern are separated by two points in the opening Division IV boys forecast. Cambridge faces a tightening girls team race in Division III, while Morgan and Sandy Valley sit near the boys qualifying line. With districts two weeks away, depth is becoming as important as the runners at the front.
All six races are scheduled for October 24 at Cambridge High School. The advancing teams and additional individual qualifiers move on to Pickerington North on October 31. These mocks use this season’s high-school 5K results through October 10. Final runner entries are due October 18 under the statewide deadline; the lineups here remain projected.
Read the times as marks already run, rather than predictions of district clock times. The opening order uses each runner’s fastest current mark found. The alternate cases show recent form, pack movement, individual passes and lineup depth.
Who holds the last team place?
Lower scores lead the team race. These are opening mock scores; they are not official meet results. Division II girls includes Steubenville as a team if at least five eligible runners finish, discussed below.
| Race | Last team in | Next team out | Opening gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Girls II | John Glenn · 81 | Steubenville · 109 | 28 points |
| Boys II | New Philadelphia · 75 | Tri-Valley · 104 | 29 points |
| Girls III | Cambridge · 392 | Martins Ferry · 410 | 18 points |
| Boys III | Morgan · 273 | Beaver · 300 | 27 points |
| Girls IV | Catholic Central · 121 | Newcomerstown · 133 | 12 points |
| Boys IV | Newcomerstown · 124 | Malvern · 126 | 2 points |
John Glenn’s route depends on the completed field
New Philadelphia leads at 41, ahead of Dover’s 60 and Tri-Valley’s 68. John Glenn holds fourth with 81, while Steubenville scores 109 when its seven projected runners are included as a team. Four team places are available.
Steubenville is labeled “Ind” on the district assignment page, but OHSAA’s tournament regulations define a district team by at least five eligible finishers. Its current-season results show enough runners to make this a five-team race. The mock also shows the outcome if Steubenville has only four finishers, leaving its runners to pursue individual places.
If Steubenville has only four finishers, the other four complete teams advance and all seven observed runners outside those teams fit within the eight individual places. With Steubenville’s projected seven in the race, Cabella Hudson holds the eighth individual place at 27:55; Charity Sirilla is next at 28:01.36. John Glenn remains fourth in the recent-race team mock, but its gap to Steubenville falls to twenty-two points.

Projected lineups and schools still needing runners
At most seven runners per school are selected. Entries are projected from this season’s results, and a missing result does not establish an absence. Final entries may add or replace runners.

Read every scenario together
- Most recent race marks. Use each runner’s most recent observed 2026 5K and reselect up to seven per school. Courses and race dates differ; this is a form check, not a course conversion. The same teams advance in this case. The last additional individual is Cabella Hudson (Steubenville); the 2026 mark used is 27:55.
- Steubenville moves its scoring pack forward. Lift Steubenville’s five current scorers 6 slots in the opening finish order, keeping their own order and everyone else’s relative order. Their actual gains vary as the pack moves together. This is a hypothetical finish, not five new times. Steubenville takes a team place; John Glenn moves to the individual race. The last additional individual is Rebekah Clark (John Glenn); the 2026 mark used is 27:08.32.
- John Glenn: fifth scorer does not finish. Hypothetical finish: Ava Brown does not finish; the other projected entrants run. Sixth and seventh finishers move into scoring where available. The same teams advance in this case. The last additional individual is Cabella Hudson (Steubenville); the 2026 mark used is 27:55.
- Charity Sirilla passes the last individual qualifier. Charity Sirilla (Steubenville) finishes just ahead of Cabella Hudson (Steubenville). All other runners retain their order; team scores and individual places are recalculated. The same teams advance in this case. The last additional individual is Charity Sirilla (Steubenville); the 2026 mark used is 28:01.36.
- Steubenville has four finishers. Keep only Steubenville’s four fastest current runners. With fewer than five finishers it cannot score as a team; the other four complete teams advance. This is a lineup scenario, not a report of entries. The same teams advance in this case. Every observed runner outside those teams fits within the additional individual places.
New Philadelphia has a cushion over Tri-Valley
Dover scores 29 and Carrollton 53 in the opening boys mock, with New Philadelphia third at 75. Tri-Valley’s 104 leaves a 29-point gap to the last team place. John Glenn follows at 137. The recent-race mock keeps the same three advancing teams.
Tri-Valley needs movement across its lineup to change that order. Lifting its five scorers six slots in the opening finish order gives Tri-Valley 79 and New Philadelphia 81. John Glenn needs a larger fourteen-slot pack move to take a team place in this test.
The individual race is closer. Tri-Valley’s Bryce Hardman holds the sixth additional place with a 19:25.20 mark. John Glenn’s Nicholas Yarrington, at 19:28, and Alexander Applegarth, at 19:29, are next. Should Tri-Valley advance instead of New Philadelphia, the last additional place shifts to the Quakers’ Finnegan Blocker and his 19:10.10 mark.

Cambridge has the edge; Martins Ferry is closing
Minerva, Tuscarawas Valley and Indian Valley head the opening girls mock. Cambridge holds the thirteenth and final team place with 392, ahead of Martins Ferry’s 410 and Philo’s 415. The margin narrows in the recent-race mock: Cambridge scores 395, Martins Ferry 400 and Philo 402.
A four-slot move by Martins Ferry’s five scorers reverses the opening team order, 393 to 394. Philo reaches the advancing group with a seven-slot pack move. These are tests of the finishing places needed, not claims that either team has already made those gains.
Beaver’s Hadley Johnston is the last additional individual qualifier in the opening order at 27:01. West Muskingum’s Avery Bollinger follows at 27:07. If Martins Ferry advances, Cambridge’s runners join the individual chase and Johnston falls outside. Current results identify four girls for West Muskingum in this mock; two McCabe spellings cannot supply a fifth scorer.

Read every scenario together
- Most recent race marks. Use each runner’s most recent observed 2026 5K and reselect up to seven per school. Courses and race dates differ; this is a form check, not a course conversion. The same teams advance in this case. The last additional individual is Abigail Cika (Martins Ferry); the 2026 mark used is 27:29.67.
- Martins Ferry moves its scoring pack forward. Lift Martins Ferry’s five current scorers 4 slots in the opening finish order, keeping their own order and everyone else’s relative order. Their actual gains vary as the pack moves together. This is a hypothetical finish, not five new times. Martins Ferry takes a team place; Cambridge moves to the individual race. The last additional individual is Gracie Wiley (Indian Creek); the 2026 mark used is 26:29.2.
- Philo moves its scoring pack forward. Lift Philo’s five current scorers 7 slots in the opening finish order, keeping their own order and everyone else’s relative order. Their actual gains vary as the pack moves together. This is a hypothetical finish, not five new times. Philo takes a team place; Cambridge moves to the individual race. The last additional individual is Gracie Wiley (Indian Creek); the 2026 mark used is 26:29.2.
- Cambridge: fifth scorer does not finish. Hypothetical finish: Rielyn Howell does not finish; the other projected entrants run. Sixth and seventh finishers move into scoring where available. The same teams advance in this case. The last additional individual is Hadley Johnston (Beaver); the 2026 mark used is 27:01.
- Avery Bollinger passes the last individual qualifier. Avery Bollinger (West Muskingum) finishes just ahead of Hadley Johnston (Beaver). All other runners retain their order; team scores and individual places are recalculated. The same teams advance in this case. The last additional individual is Avery Bollinger (West Muskingum); the 2026 mark used is 27:07.
Morgan, Sandy Valley and Beaver meet at the last team places
Fairless and Minerva lead the largest boys field. Twelve teams advance, and the opening mock puts Sandy Valley eleventh with 270 and Morgan twelfth with 273. Beaver is next at 300, followed by Edison at 331. West Holmes, at 254, has more room but remains close enough to that group for depth to matter.
Moving Beaver’s five scorers forward seven slots brings Beaver into the advancing group. Sandy Valley and Morgan then tie at 273 for the last place; Sandy Valley’s sixth finisher breaks the tie. The recent-race mock also brings Beaver in, while Sandy Valley falls outside. That makes the three-point opening gap between Sandy Valley and Morgan especially relevant.
River View’s Russell Maroni holds the last of 24 additional individual places with a 19:55.03 mark. Harrison Central’s Hunter Patterson is next at 20:10. If Beaver takes a team place, Maroni falls outside the individual group as Morgan’s runners enter that contest. A team result can change an individual’s route without that runner changing places.

Catholic Central holds fourth; Newcomerstown is within reach
Bellaire leads the opening girls mock at 35, followed by Shadyside at 87 and Fort Frye at 90. Catholic Central takes the last team place with 121; Newcomerstown follows at 133. The Trojans have a smaller gap to close than Ridgewood, Malvern or Shenandoah.
A pack move can change that fourth-place race. Shifting Newcomerstown’s five scorers forward three slots in the opening finish order gives the Trojans 122 and Catholic Central 123. Clara Allen and Solee Garland set the pace at the front of Newcomerstown’s lineup; its remaining scorers decide whether that move holds.
The individual line does not necessarily change with the team winner. Garaway’s Lydia Raber is eighth among runners outside advancing teams in both the opening mock and that Newcomerstown scenario. Her 22:54 mark sits eleven seconds ahead of the next runner, Buckeye Trail’s Kloie Eagon. Those are season marks to compare, not promised district times.

Two points separate Newcomerstown and Malvern
Shenandoah has the strongest opening position, with Garaway and Caldwell following in the season-best mock. The close race is for fourth: Newcomerstown scores 124, just ahead of Malvern’s 126. River, at 140, remains part of the chase.
Malvern’s Parker Babiczuk shows how little it could take to reverse that order. If he finishes ahead of Garaway’s Graham Milks and River’s Kaysen Lipscomb, the Hornets draw level with Newcomerstown at 124. Malvern wins that tie because it has a sixth finisher; the projected Trojans lineup has five.
Recent racing gives the Hornets a stronger position. A second mock using each runner’s latest available 5K puts Malvern fourth at 129, River fifth at 132 and Newcomerstown seventh at 149. Those marks came on different courses, but the change makes fourth a contest to follow through league week.

Read every scenario together
- Most recent race marks. Use each runner’s most recent observed 2026 5K and reselect up to seven per school. Courses and race dates differ; this is a form check, not a course conversion. Malvern takes a team place; Newcomerstown moves to the individual race. The last additional individual is Liam Antill (Toronto); the 2026 mark used is 19:31.
- Malvern moves into a team place. Parker Babiczuk finishes ahead of Graham Milks (Garaway), passing 2 runners from the opening mock order. Everyone else keeps the same relative order. This is a hypothetical finish, not a new time. Malvern takes a team place; Newcomerstown moves to the individual race. The last additional individual is Hudson McKenzie (Strasburg-Franklin); the 2026 mark used is 19:27.
- River moves its scoring pack forward. Lift River’s five current scorers 5 slots in the opening finish order, keeping their own order and everyone else’s relative order. Their actual gains vary as the pack moves together. This is a hypothetical finish, not five new times. River takes a team place; Newcomerstown moves to the individual race. The last additional individual is Cooper Dorr (Malvern); the 2026 mark used is 19:10.55.
- Newcomerstown: fifth scorer does not finish. Hypothetical finish: Landyn Rodriguez does not finish; the other projected entrants run. Sixth and seventh finishers move into scoring where available. Malvern takes a team place; Newcomerstown moves to the individual race. The last additional individual is Hudson McKenzie (Strasburg-Franklin); the 2026 mark used is 19:27.
- Hudson McKenzie passes the last individual qualifier. Hudson McKenzie (Strasburg-Franklin) finishes just ahead of Cooper Dorr (Malvern). All other runners retain their order; team scores and individual places are recalculated. The same teams advance in this case. The last additional individual is Hudson McKenzie (Strasburg-Franklin); the 2026 mark used is 19:27.
How the mock races were scored
Only dated 2026 cross-country 5K finishes enter the mocks. No previous-year marks, presumed returning runners, middle-school times or invented fifth scorers are used. A runner’s best mark is the fastest collected eligible result; outside-school season coverage may be incomplete. The recent-race case uses each runner’s last observed current 5K, with its own date and source. Courses and conditions differ, so neither case is a course-adjusted prediction.
Five eligible finishers establish a team under the OHSAA district rule. After the team places are decided, all runners on advancing teams are removed before additional individual places are counted. The first four scoring places break a team tie only when neither tied team has a sixth finisher. Equal recorded times use name order for reproducibility; reversing those equal-time groups did not change the opening qualification sets.
Name variants remain a limitation. The mock counts one possible identity, rather than two scorers, for McCabe and Herring variants and other unresolved same-school pairs. Separate final entries can restore a distinct runner when established. Garaway’s Chris Beachy duplicate was removed after the original Seneca race sheet identified that mark as Christopher Beachy. Clare McCabe’s published 25:20.10 current-season 5K was also added; her October 10 finish establishes current participation.
