Morgan Dodge and her teammates created memories at Geneva High School.
The recent graduate will look to make more at Baldwin Wallace, where she is planning to attend for school and compete in track and field.
“I chose BW because I liked the close-knit community, and I loved how friendly everyone is,” Dodge said. “I hope to make memories that bring me new experiences, and that I can carry with me for the rest of my life.”
She is scheduled to compete in the shot put for the Division III school, which is located in Berea and participates in the Ohio Athletic Conference.
“I will also be giving the other throwing events a try [weight, javelin and discus],” Dodge said. “I’m mostly looking forward to trying javelin.”
Dodge, who is planning on studying biology as a pre-med student, said balancing school work and athletics is crucial.
“I will make sure to dedicate enough time to practice to improve for track, and I will manage my time to get my work done and study,” she said.
In the 2026 Ashtabula County track and field championships, Dodge finished second behind former teammate Ella Haeseler in the shot put at 32’4”.
She also placed sixth, along with Isabel Stocker, Kylee March and Madelynn Braat, in the Division III Perry District girls 4x200 relay in a time of 2:02.07.
In the 2025 campaign, Dodge advanced to the Division II regional in the shot put at Lexington with a 32’4-75” effort in the Bedford District.
“I will definitely miss my coaches the most, especially coach [Annah] Haeseler,” she said. “I’m also going to miss my teammates and competing with such a great group of athletes.”
Haeseler said she is proud of the work Dodge has put in to try and excel at her craft.
“She is fast, powerful and strong and will do great things,” the coach said.
Dodge said certain moments of her time at Geneva will stick with her.
“One of my favorite memories was when the throwers went bowling the night before one of our track meets during my sophomore year,” she said. “Another one is when we stopped to get ice cream after regionals last year.”
Dodge said she enjoyed her academic and athletic career at Geneva.
“I learned to work hard, build connections with people, and cherish the memories that you make,” she said.
But Dodge is also excited about the next step in her journey in a different setting.
“I’m mostly looking forward to getting the experience to continue doing the sport that I love at the collegiate level,” Dodge said. “I’m also looking forward to being part of such a close-knit team, and making friends.”
