January 10, 2026 – Oberlin, Ohio - The Lorain High School Titans continued their impressive indoor season with another strong showing at the Oberlin College High School Indoor Meet, led by breakthrough performances from Jazion Moore and Autumn Roberts that signal the program's growth in Northeast Ohio track and field.

Moore's Historic Double Victory
Junior Jazion Moore delivered the performance of the meet, capturing two first-place finishes and establishing himself as one of the most versatile athletes in the state.

Moore also soared to victory in the high jump in his first-ever high jump competition, clearing 5-3 to claim first place overall. Teammate Jaden Mosley also cleared 5-3, finishing second based on misses. The remarkable 1-2 finish showcased Lorain's depth in field events, with Mosley's debut performance serving notice that the Titans have another emerging talent in the vertical jumps.

But Moore wasn't done. He followed up his high jump triumph with a spectacular runner-up finish in the long jump, sailing 20-4.5 to claim second place overall. The near 20-and-a-half-foot leap demonstrated the explosive power that makes Moore such a dangerous dual-threat competitor.

Roberts Breaks Through in Hurdles
Junior Autumn Roberts announced her arrival as an elite hurdler with a third-place finish in the 60m hurdles finals, clocking 10.57. The performance validated her earlier prelim time of 10.34, which also placed third and established Roberts as one of the top hurdlers in the region.
