Head Cross Country Coach Erica Turner

Coach Turner graduated from Algonac High School in Algonac, Michigan as a 4 year letter winner in Cross Country in 1998. During her career at Algonac, she earned Honorable Mention All-Blue Water Area, had Second-Team All-League honors, competed in the Michigan State Cross Country meet twice and was named Academic All-State as a senior.

After high school, Coach Turner attended and graduated from Central Michigan University in 2004 with a Bachelors of Science in Special Education and from Marygrove College in 2010 with a Master’s in the Art of Teaching. She was subsequently hired to teach in the Resource Room at Sidney Middle School in 2004.

Coach Turner began coaching Cross Country six years ago with Sidney's Boy's and Girl's Middle School teams. They had an extremely successful year with the Boy's team winning the Greater Western Ohio Conference Championship and two runners continuing on to the Junior Olympic Nationals in Rhode Island.

This is Coach Turner's fifth year as the Head Varsity and Junior Varsity Coach for the Boy's and Girl's Cross Country Teams at Sidney High School. During her time with the high school runners, she has coached the school record holder in the boy’s division (15:32) and took him to the Ohio State Cross Country Championships twice where he placed fourteenth his Junior year, and fifth his Senior year. Coach Turner's goals for this year are to improve the team’s competitiveness in the GWOC and the overall speed and dynamics of her runners.

2005 BOYS CROSS COUNTRY RESULTS

GWOC ALL CONFERENCE HONORS

Special Mention: Jake Sekas (Sr)

Congratulations to Ashley Roberts and Andy Ferguson for being named to the 2nd Team All County.

October 8, 2005 - Centerville Stampede
Sidney Boys placed 15th out of 15 teams (135 runners). Jake Sekas 88th at 18:34. Andy Ferguson 89th at 18:40. Aaron Holmgren 92nd at 19:04. Mark Mullen 93rd at 19:04. Dan Blindauer 95th at 19:11.

Middle School Results: The Sidney Middle School Boys Cross Country Team ran away with its third and most impressive invitational title Saturday in Centerville. Competing against a strong field of 16 teams, the Junior Jackets tallied 78 points to edge Centerville by one. The key to cross country success is the ability of the top five runners to finish in a pack. Sidney accomplished this with its athletes placing 6th, 8th, 9th, 27th and 28th place out of 130 runners participating. The top five Jacket runners were Jack Van Horn, Aaron Dinzeo, Adam Zimmerman, Luke Roberts and Phillip Cook. Finishing just out of the scoring for Sidney but also running well were Ethan Langhorst and Nick Collier. The performance of the middle school team heralds a resurgence in the Sidney running program. Last year, Chad Mitchell had an outstanding season for Sidney High School. This year, however, many young runners have stepped up and the results are impressive. “We have great young runners,” Middle School coach Erica Worthen stated. “They want to win, they are self motivated, and the best part of it is, they are great kids as well.” In past years there were barely enough runners to field a team at the middle school level. There is even a middle school reserve team this year. Jimmy Marsh, Robert Frantz, Eric Hockaday, Nick Hoover and Michael Richards placed fourth Saturday at Centerville in the reserve race. It was an excellent showing for these young runners, all of whom are 7th graders. The Junior Jackets boys varsity team is peaking at the right time. Recently, they won the Sidney Invitational and the county preview. Next week is the GWOC championship, and the middle school harriers look to be well prepared to challenge for the championship. For the first time in a number of years, it is the Yellow Jackets who are creating the running buzz in the conference.
