Pleasant's Sean Murphy wrestles away a championship from the competition at the MOAC meet
MARION — In his first year of running track at Pleasant, senior Sean Murphy became a champion. Not bad for a rookie. He won the boys 400 meters during the Mid Ohio Athletic Conference Track and Field Championships during the running finals on May 15, clocking 50.26 seconds in Harding Stadium. He took third in the 200 in 23.21 and helped anchor the 4x400 relay team to a runner-up spot in 3 minutes, 29.72 seconds. Advertisement Murphy spent previous springs working on his craft in wrestling, which kept him away from the oval. With wrestling behind him now, he felt free to try running track. Track districts schedule, sites: Marion-area athletes set to compete in district track meets. When, where will they go? More MOAC track and field: River Valley's Eva Moran proves she's back in form following a broken ankle "I definitely wanted to keep wrestling for sure. Making the state (in wrestling this winter for the first time) was really awesome. I loved it. I love wrestling, but this is awesome, too," he said. "I was looking at times (last year), and I was like, 'Man, I can run that. I can do that. I've got to come out here and do it,'" he said. Advertisement He showed he belonged with the best in track this week at the MOAC meet, putting together three all-league finishes. Now his attention turns to next week's district meet where he and the rest of the Pleasant boys will compete in Division II at River Valley. "Confidence is through the roof. I've just got to tweak little things because I lack experience, but I'm putting in the work," he said. Marion Harding's Leah Price takes the lead in the girls 1600 meters at the Mid Ohio Athletic Conference Track and Field Championships on May 15, 2025 at Harding Stadium. Price sisters dominate distance races Lydia Price showed she's rounding back into shape after missing three weeks of the regular season with a back injury. The Marion Harding junior defended her girls 3200-meter MOAC title, winning it again with an 11:57.21. Advertisement Meanwhile, twin sister Leah Price won the 1600 in 5:19.63 and was a runner-up in the 800 in 2:25.02 and the 3200 in 12:19.42. On Tuesday, Leah also was second in the high jump at 5 feet. "I'm still not in my best shape. I was lucky. They were probably tired from the mile and Leah from the 800," Lydia said of her victory. "I was able to pull away. I do better at the longer distances." Marion Harding's Lydia Price won the girls 3200-meter run at the Mid Ohio Athletic Conference Track and Field Championships that wrapped up May 15, 2025 at Harding Stadium. It was the first truly hot day of the season for the competitors with temperatures in the 80s, and that affected the times, especially in the longest race. At last year's MOAC meet, Lydia won the 3200 in 11:18.46 and the 1600 in 5:17.47. Advertisement "The heat was definitely a factor that did not help. I'm really excited I got that (1600 win). I didn't think I was going to get it," Leah said. "I was hoping I would get at least one first place, but I was glad I was able to follow with three other second places. While the two ran against each other Thursday evening in the two longest events with Lydia taking fourth in the 1600 in 5:36.56, there is no hint of a sibling rivalry. "It was really nice that we were able to get the one-mile and two-mile. I'm really glad that she got it," Leah said. "I've been hoping I would get first place, and Lydia was out for a while injured, but she made a really good comeback at this race. It was definitely her race to do it in the two-mile." Added Lydia: "It's really cool. Those go together. I knew she would probably win the mile because she's better at that one than I am. I was happy to win one."
