End of Lorain Decathlon and Pentathlon After 29 Years
After 29 years the Lorain County Decathlon and its 1978 Pentathlon sister event will be discontinued due to lack of a director and waning athlete interest. Last year’s champions Ty Grade and Elyria High’s Laura Seber will be the final winners. The event began in 1964 at Ely Stadium and featured top county high school athletes across ten events for boys and five for girls, with historic highs by Rick Hoskin in 1976 and Amy Filiaggi and Kim Walton on the girls’ side.
