COLUMBUS — State Sen. Andrew Brenner (R-Delaware) presented a resolution on June 21 honoring Olentangy Liberty High School senior Jaxson Eckert for winning the 800-meter run in the 2023 Division I Track and Field State Championship.
“It’s an honor to recognize you for such a tremendous accomplishment, winning your race in a photo finish,” said Brenner. “The effort you displayed on the track will take you far in your academic career and in life.”
Eckert won the state title race by just .02 of a second. He had finished as runner-up in the regional round, but managed to take a 1 second lead in the final then hold on to win by a razor-thin margin.
Sen. Brenner represents the 19th Ohio Senate District, which encompasses all of Coshocton, Delaware, Holmes, and Knox counties. Learn more at www.OhioSenate.gov/Brenner.
