Podium Watch covers Ohio high school cross country and track and field through rankings, stories, athlete interviews, and meet coverage.

The goal is simple: give athletes, teams, coaches, families, and fans one place to follow the sport and celebrate the people who make it special.

Podium Watch started as a way to give Ohio athletes more recognition on social media. It is growing into a complete media home for the Ohio running community.

Rankings philosophy

Rankings are opinion based, but the process is built around verified results. State championship performances receive the most weight, followed by the complete season resume and relevant track performances. The goal is to make every ranking fair, clear, and defendable.
