COLUMBUS, Ohio–State Senator Larry Obhof (R-Medina) joined State Representative Mark Romanchuk (R-Ontario) to honor Lexington High School junior Dominique Clairmonte today for winning the Division II State Championship title in both the 1,600 and 3,200 meter races at the Ohio High School Track and Field tournament.
“It is our honor to recognize this fierce competitor who represents her high school and community so well, both on and off the track,” said Obhof. “We’re expecting more outstanding achievement from Dominique in the months and years ahead.”
“I was pleased to present a House Resolution to such an outstanding young lady and gifted athlete,” said Romanchuk. “Dominique’s unrelenting pursuit of excellence in all aspects of her life makes her an excellent role model to her peers and inspiration to all who know her.”
Clairmonte overtook several returning state champions in the 1,600 meter race, beating her school record in 4:53.08.
An hour later, Clairmonte retook her position at the starting line for the 3,200 meter race. She finished the race with an 11-second lead over another returning state champion to pull off a 10:59.09 finish.
In March, Clairmonte also won state titles for the 1,600 and 3,200 meter races at the Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches indoor tournament.
