It’s been a memorable season for Jackson-Milton’s Ryen Romigh.

It hasn’t mattered if it was cross country, basketball or track. The senior has found a way to leave his mark as a Blue Jay.

“I put a lot of work into all my sports, and school as well,” Romigh said. “It’s really fun seeing it all pay off. I know I worked for it.”

His senior year began in cross country. He put together a strong campaign, and it culminated with a trip to the regional meet at Boardman High School.

Most recently, Romigh concluded his final season on the hardwood. He began the year by scoring his 1,000th career point, and by the end, he became the program’s all-time leading scorer.

“It’s been fun,” Romigh said. “I couldn’t ask for a better coaching staff, teammates, any better support. I mean, everybody’s been there for me. It’s been by far my most fun season, and I’m gonna miss it already.”

The 6-foot, 3-inch standout averaged 25.4 points, seven rebounds and three assists per game this winter. And while he was putting together headlining numbers on the hardwood, he also was improving as a jumper indoors.

He attended an indoor meet and punched his ticket for the Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches state championships. On March 7, he will compete for gold in the high jump at SPIRE in Geneva.

“It’s very important, because in the past, it was hard for field events to improve in the offseason,” Romigh said. “So to have that availability in indoor, it really helps you practice and roll into the outdoor season.

“It’s really good for working on form because you don’t have to worry about weather conditions. Indoor’s a huge bonus.”

He’s hoping that extra work pays off this spring. He already made it to state — finishing 10th in the high jump in 2023 — but he wants to take his game to the next level.

“I want to get back to state again for outdoor. That’s my main goal,” he said.

With all of his accolades, Romigh is making a name for himself in the Jackson-Milton record book. He’s aware of the success he’s had over the last several months, but he’s more focused on the present and fun of an eventful final season.

“The whole (year) is fun. Everything’s stood out to me,” Romigh said. “My teammates, I just love playing with them. That stood out to me the most. They support me, everyone supports me.”
