Top Team:
Mentor- Again clearly the best team locally, but only the best team because of Nick Ivancic. Take Nick out of the picture and Harvey easily claims top honors. Still lacking the skills to compete at a major level, mentor accomplished nothing in the post season.  The Mentor Boys team captures the best team award for the fourth straight year, but don't put your money on them doing it next year. Mentor really lacks the depth that has helped them stay on top locally for so long.  

MVP: Ben Robinson - Chardon -  I never usually agree with the News-Herald, but this time I do. With Nick Ivancic going down with a season ending injury, it was hard to pick a MVP. But looking at the big picture Ben Robinson was the MVP for all of us in North East Ohio.  Most people think the 800 is the hardest race on the track and running Division I makes it even harder. So when Ben came out of no where to capture the title, it touched all of our hearts.

4th Euclid 74 5th Orange 72 6th Madison 64
7th Kenston 60 8th Lakeside 46 9th Brush 39


Top Team:
Mentor- Again clearly the best team locally, but still lacking the skills to compete at a major level. Even though they fell on there faces at the Regional meet, the Mentor Boys team captures the best team award for the third straight year.  Harvey also stays in the top three this year staying in second place, while Mayfield comes out of no where to finish third.

MVP: Nick Ivancic- Mentor-  Nick Ivancic can do it all, sprint, jump and run distance. He is a dominating performer for only being a Junior. He was on the leader board more than any other athlete in the area. The future is very bright for Nick.


Field Events:
Nick Verdi- Madison & Jerome Jackson, Brandon Smith - Euclid

Hurdles:

The Oops Award: Alex Fried - Mentor:  Could of been a great runner. Someday he will regret not running his Senior year of track. The best move he made this year was to enlist in the military.

7th Perry 41 8th Regina 37 9th Mayfield 36
9th Riverside 36 9th Madison 36 12th Chardon 35


Top Team:
Mentor - Mentor took the title back from Hawken as this years top team. The News Herald picked Hawken as the top team, but Mentor has way too much depth compared to Hawken's super stars. Head to Head and with Turner hurt, Achilles gives the edge to Mentor.  Also Euclid looks to be a future force if they can keep their team together.  

MVP:  Hallie Cope - Mentor-  Everyone loves the best and Hallie was the best on the track in 2003. She's at the top of the leader board in almost every track event and she's only a Freshman. She can do it all, Hallie will be fun to watch in the future. 

 

Field Events: Jessica Kallio - Madison , Kristy Welty - North & Jodi Matsko - Fairport
Sprints: Heather Palmer - Euclid & Christine Shin - Hawken 
Hurdles:
Ashley Savoy - Brush & Noelle Chapppelle - Hawken 
Mid-Distance: Yandeh Joh - Regina & Sarah Dorenkott - Hawken
Distance:
Christine Collins - Chagrin Falls & Mallory Dragon - Lakeside

Oops:  Brook Turner - Hawken  After an Awesome 2002 season Turner came out in 2003 with high hopes, but in the end a  pulled hamstring kept her out of the big meet. Turner is clearly the best all around women's athlete in the area, but even before the injury her times were not on top of the leader board.  Brook is a fighter and should rebound next year.

Achilles Women Athletes of the  Year  

Track & Field 2002!!!!
Top Team:
Hawken- Hawken and the Mentor girls went back and forth all year, but in the end the Hawken girls were the better team.

MVP: Brook Turner- Hawken- Wow, I actually agree with the News Herald on this one. Turner was an easy pick becuase she was one of the best athletes on the track this year and it showed at the state meet. Turner won 4 events and is only a Sophmore. What else can she do?

Achilles Men Athletes of the  Year  

Track & Field 2002!!!!
Top Team:
Mentor- Even though they fell on there faces at the Regional meet, the Mentor Boys team captures the best team award for the second straight year.  They had one of the best District track performances ever, pounding all local competition into the track!  It would be nice to see a team step up and challenge Mentor next year.

MVP: Ryan Brown- North- Ryan carried the work load for an average track team. He ran his heart out in every race, topping his senior year off with a 5th place finish at the state meet. But Brown as most of us called him will be remembered for his balls out District meet where he finished 1st in the 1600 ~ 4:21 & then embarrassing the whole 800 field by blowing everyone away with 100 meters left with his hands in the air. Good luck to Ryan Brown in college, I hope he really considers going to Mount.


Field Events: Nick Verdi- Madison & Province- Riverside
Sprints: Terence Ware- Euclid 
Hurdles:
Zac Miller- Edgewood
Mid-Distance: Ryan Brown- North
Distance:
Jon Baker- University & Alex Fried- Mentor

The Oops Award: Chardon - After dominating most of the Achilles standing all year the guys went into the District meet with high hopes, but in the end they looked like a fish out of water.  This team has a bright future with a really good coach and a state of the art Track, But without going up against better competition and competing in bigger track meets earlier in the season this team will never make it out of Districts.

Rankings are best over all performances from the year. This ranking is not based on state performances or state finishes. I have seen many great athletes not make it to states and some pretty mediocre athletes make it to states. These are the top performances from the year. First place gets 10 points, second 9 and so on. They are added up at the end to determine who is on top. If you don't like were your team finished  them perform better next year! Picking the MVP was hard but we had to go with the person that helped get their team on top of the Achilles rankings.
