The Woodmore Athletic Hall of Fame will welcome its third class on Aug. 21 when the seven newest members are recognized prior to the season-opening football game against New London. The group will be recognized as part of the stadium dedication ceremony at 6:30 p.m.
The class consists of the following:
Jon Blechinger (Class of 2000) lettered in three sports, football, basketball, and baseball. At the time of his graduation, Blechinger was the career (4,043), season (1,797), and single-game (325) school record-holder for rushing yards. At the same time, he held the school record for touchdowns in a game (6) and carries in a game (38). In baseball, he hit over .300 all four years and was the school record-holder for career home runs (15), runs scored (93), RBI (85), games played (97), and slugging percentage (.709) while he also held five season school records.
Josh Karchner (Class of 1996) is one of only two football players in school history to earn first-team All-Ohio honors twice. Karchner was a Division V first team selection as an offensive lineman in 1994 and 1995. He was also the Northwest District Lineman of the Year both seasons. He started every game of his four-year career (43 games) earning first-team all-league honors his last three seasons. Karchner helped the football team to state playoff berths in each of his last three years, including the first playoff win in program history in 1995.
Becky (Lee) Oberdick (Class of 1998) was the Suburban Lakes League Co-Player of the Year in softball her senior year --- one of only two players in school history to earn that honor. She tossed two no-hitters and one one-hitter her senior year along with hitting .408 to earn first-team all-district and first-team all-state honors. She helped the softball team to 76 wins in her four years, producing one league title and two runner-up finishes. She also lettered in basketball and was all-league in volleyball.
Angie (Michael) Throop (Class of 1996) helped the cross country team to three-straight state team championships (1992-94) and a runner-up state finish in 1995. She also helped the track and field team to a team state championship in 1993 while she was part of three-straight (1994-96) state championship 3200 relay teams. She helped the cross country and track and field teams to seven league titles during her high school career, eight district titles, and five regional team titles.
Michael Perkins (Class of 1996) is one of only seven players in school history to score 1,000 points in basketball. He finished his career with 1,047 points and is one of only two players in school history to earn league player of the year honors twice. He was the Suburban Lakes League Player of the Year in 1994-95 and 1995-96. He helped the basketball program win three SLL championships and compile a 43-13 league record. Perkins was also a second-team all-state linebacker as a senior helping the Wildcats set a school record with five shutouts while allowing only 43 points for the season.
Lacy (Nagy) Seamans (Class of 2011) is one of only three cross country runners in school history to win at least three individual league titles (2008-10). In cross country, she won three district titles and was the regional runner-up three times. She helped the track and field team to runner-up league finishes all four years of her career and three district championships. She was a state meet qualifier in the 3200 twice, and she won the league title in 3200 in 2010. She was also the 1600 league champion the same season.
Mark Yoder (Coach) guided the girls cross country teams to probably the most successful four-year span in school history helping the Wildcat to three state titles (1992-94) and one state runner-up finish (1995). During that time, the Wildcat cross country teams won three regional team titles and four district and league championships. He served as the Woodmore boys/girls cross country coach for five seasons and was the boys/girls track and field coach for six seasons --- leading the girls teams to one state team championship and three other top five state finishes.
With the addition of the 2026 class, the Woodmore Athletic Hall of Fame now includes 33 former Wildcat athletes/coaches.
