West G Grad Receives Lifetime Lifting Award
By Brian Lavrich sports@karLovecmedia com
Jeremy Hartman, a West Geauga graduate from 2001, recently was awarded the Society of Weight Training Injury Specialist Lifetime Achievement Award for strength and conditioning. Hartman, 41, was given the award while being a featured speaker at the SWIS Symposium in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
This follows Hartman winning the USA Powerlifting National Coach of the Year award in 2023.
“It’s been an honor the last couple of years to be Coach of the Year and earn a Lifetime Achievement Award,” Hartman said. “You work hard and great things happen. It motivates me to do more and help more people.”
West Geauga graduate Jeremy Hartman was awarded the Society of Weight Training Injury Specialist Lifetime Achievement Award for strength and conditioning. Hartman was given the award while being a featured speaker at the SWIS Symposium in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
Hartman lives in Bargersville, Ind., and runs Hartman Performance Training.
“We have a variety of powerlifters and other athletes,” Hartman said. “We have wrestlers and track athletes. Volleyball and football.
“A lot of my athletes I train in person, but we can train on-line. I have different options.”
Currently Hartman said he has about 60-70 clients and four or five assistant coaches.
After graduating from West G, Hartman attended Bowling Green State University. His first job after college was a strength coach for a high school in Fort Wayne, Ind.
Hartman was an accomplished wrestler at West G, but ultimately decided to follow another path.
“I looked at scholarships, but strength and conditioning is my love,” Hartman said. “It changed me. Helped me with my confidence. I wanted to pursue it more.
“I want to keep growing it (his business), keep developing people. I want to help people and educate coaches, spread the knowledge.”
Hartman credited Chesterland’s Gary Congin for starting him on the path of strength and conditioning.
“Gary Congin with the West Geauga Lions, he really encouraged me,” Hartman said. “He said it’s up to you to succeed.”
Hartman said he fondly remembers his time growing up in Chesterland and could see moving his business to Geauga County.
“I have a lot of great memories,” Hartman said. “I want to play it back and help others. I could get back to Geauga County and Chesterland.
“My proudest moments now is seeing my athletes become successful and not just athletically, but with their families and in life.”
The Wolverines boys basket ball team has shown great improve ment over the last two seasons under the leadership of third-year head coach Micah Young.
Boys to Play Fast, Dominate on Defense
“I think we have a really strong team returning this year,” Lear said. “We only lost two guys from last year. I feel like we have some pretty good shooters on the team.”
Lear also has a lot of confi dence in his teammates to put the ball in the basket.
Before Coach Young took over in 2022, the Wolverines had only won four games in two seasons.
But after winning 10 games in the coach's first season, the Wolverines improved to 14-9 last season.
Certainly a catalyst for the Wolverines' new success would be the excellent play of senior Landon Lear.
In fact, Lear who earned AllOhio Division II Honorable Mention, was one of the top offensive players in Northeast Ohio, averaging 23.1 points per game.
Lear is excited about the upcoming season.
“I really feel like if I am not scoring, I'm still going to feel confident in our team because I know I can get the ball to people and other people can score,” he said.
Likewise, Coach Young emphasized that the Wolverines return a lot of experienced players who can contribute both offensively and defensively.
“We got a lot of guys coming back that played a lot of minutes for us,” Coach Young said. “We return six out of our top eight from last year.”
With the depth that Coach
Fast-Paced, Up-Tempo Basketball Focus for Girls
aLan kornspan sports@karLovecmedia com
Returning many players who got valuable varsity minutes last year, the Wolverines girls basketball team feels positive about its chances for success this season.
Offensively, Wolverines Head Coach Brandon Stewart, who starts his fourth season at the helm, said that keys to such success will be taking care of the basketball and playing at an up-tempo pace.
Coach Stewart has also been focused on improving his team's halfcourt offensive execution which, at times, caused his team to struggle last season, when the Wolverines finished 7-15.
Helping execute the plan will be sophomore Faelyn Beckrest.
As a freshman, Beckrest was West Geauga's starting point guard
and leading scorer, averaging over 14 points per game.
She expressed excitement about the upcoming season and directing the offense.
“I am just going to try to get other people open and pass as much as I can,” Beckrest said.
Beckrest will also look for her teammates in a fast-paced, up-tempo offense in which the Wolverines will try to outrun their opponent.
“Mainly (we will) be trying to outrun teams, trying to get people open quickly,” she said. “We don't have as big of people as normal as other teams do, but we still have fast people.”
In addition to Beckrest, Coach Stewart said the Wolverines have many guards who will contribute offensively.
In particular, he will look for backcourt contributions from freshman

guards Aubrey Sens and Emersyn Semplak, sophomore Ava Borz, and senior Michaela Platt.
“We have a lot of guards that can really get to the rim and cause defensive problems,” Stewart said.
One of the main athletes on the team who will look to find players cutting to the rim and in the low post will be Platt.
As the only senior on the team, Platt said she will focus on making great passes and getting assists in the season's faster pace.
“I am more of a passer, just, like, get out of the way and move, and find our big, and find our point guard,” Platt said. “We have a lot of speed, so we just try to get as many points as we can in transition.”
With a strong backcourt, the Wolverines must also replace Maggie Furst, who was an excellent post presence for the Wolverines during the past few seasons.
Coach Stewart expressed his confidence in sophomore Amelia Zaffiro's ability to help the Wolverines in the post.

Young has, he is excited to speed up the offense.
“We’re going to try to take advantage of all of our depth, play a lot of guys, hopefully play a lot faster than we did last year,” he said.
In addition to Lear, Coach Young is expecting Colin Whiting, the second-leading scorer last season (averaging 11.5 points
“We fully expect that Amelia can come in and be that same presence offensively and defensively in the paint,” her coach said.
Defensively, too, Coach Stewart wants the Wolverines to press and play good man-to-man defense in the half court. From a defensive stand point, Stewart will look for Pitts, Borz and Rachel Mason to be defensive players who can put a lot of pressure on the ball.
“Those are all guards who can really guard the ball; they put a lot of pressure on the defense,” Coach Stewart said.
He added: “They can disrupt the offensive flow just by guarding the ball and taking you out of what you want to do. A lot of ball pressure is kind of what we're expecting out of that group.”
Beckrest expects the Wolverines to have a good defense this season.
“We are good on ball defenders, and we are still working on other things with our defense,” Beckrest said, “but overall our defense is pretty good.”
Overall: “We want to play fast, but under control, while valuing the ball on the offensive end. Our speed and quickness enables us to play a variety of defenses to keep teams off balance,” Stewart said.
during the regular season), to continue being a main offensive contributor.
The Wolverines also expect offensive contributions from Finn Keenan and Ryan Mobley in the post.
“Offensively, we have looked good so far,” the coach said.
With the depth and experience coming back, he is also optimistic about improving the Wolverines defense.
“I thought last year we were okay defensively, but I want to be great defensively, taking that next step,” Coach Young said.
The Wolverines will probably play both man and zone defense, but their coach is hoping to play more man-to-man defense this year. To do this, he will help his players match up better with the teams they will be facing.
Pressuring the basketball is one defensive element that Coach Young will stress to his team, and a top defender he'll rely on is senior Colin Whiting.
Whiting's main role on the team will be to defend the opponent’s top player each game, the athlete said.
“Colin is a great defender,” said his coach. “He's lanky, he's athletic, he anticipates well. He averaged around four and a half steals a game last year. ... He's one of the better ball defenders that I've ever seen in this league.”
In addition to Whiting, Coach Young said that in the post, Ryan Mobley, Shawn Leonard and Jason Renner will make critical contributions.
With continued improvement on defense, backing up an excellent offense, West G will look to compete for the CVC title this year.

She was born in Cleveland, to Norman and Lillian (nee Morgan) Jones on Dec. 22, 1932. She was a 1951 graduate of John Adams High School, in Cleveland, where she played flute and piccolo in the marching band and orchestra.
Barbara went on to Kent State University to work on a degree in education but left college after a year to get married and start a family. She had three daughters, Debra, Karen and Laura.
Barbara worked at several different places, including Bell Telephone and Motch & Merryweather, before going back to college at night to finish her degree in education. She graduated from Kent State University in 1971 with a bachelor’s degree.
Barbara taught first grade at St. Justin Martyr for two years and then first and third grade at Ledgemont Schools. She went on to get a master’s degree from Kent State in 1974 in the area of Learning Disabilities and Behavior Disorders. She started the first unit at Ledgemont Elementary School for children with learning disabilities and taught that class for 18 years. Barbara retired in 1992 after 25 years of teaching.
Barbara met Matthew Kross at church in 1979 and they were married in 1980. They were together for 44 years at the time of her passing. They moved from Mentor on the Lake to Chester Township in 1982.
Barbara was a born again Christian who loved the Lord. She enjoyed studying the Bible and led several Bible studies over the years. She was an Elder in the Presbyterian Church with focus on the worship service.
She taught Sunday School and helped with church youth groups. She led the Chapel Circle for many years at Christ Presbyterian Church in Chesterland.
She loved listening to music, singing, cooking, traveling and collecting Teddy Bears. She was proud of her Welsh heritage, especially their love of singing, and over the years attended many annual Welsh songfests (Gymanfa Ganu) in the U.S. and Canada with either her husband or her sister.
Barbara sang in church choirs starting at age 12 and continued until she was 87. She sang for 45 years in the Lake County Messiah Chorus. She taught herself how to play the piano and enjoyed learning new pieces and playing for herself at home.
Barbara loved children and teaching. After retiring from teaching, she served on the Board of the Christ Presbyterian Church Pre-School for several years and helped teach when needed at several different pre-schools.
Barbara is survived by her husband, Matthew A. Kross; children, Debra Duy, Karen (Patrick) Stewart and Laura Quinones; eight grandchildren; and 16 great-grandchildren.
