The West Liberty-Salem Athletic Hall of Fame proudly recognizes the 1978 and 1979 Men’s Cross Country Teams, two groups of athletes whose hard work and accomplishments left an indelible mark on Tiger history.
These teams demonstrated the very best of Tiger athletics—discipline, perseverance, and teamwork. Their performances elevated the WL-S cross country program to statewide recognition and set a standard of excellence that future generations would strive to follow.
More than just the victories, these teams built a culture of camaraderie and resilience, inspiring one another and those who came after them. Their legacy has been carried on through decades of Tiger runners, who still look back to these squads as examples of what it means to compete with heart.
✨ The members of the 1978 and 1979 Men’s Cross Country Teams will be honored with the 2025 Hall of Fame Class at the home varsity football game on Friday, October 10th vs. Triad, with the formal Induction Ceremony and Banquet on Saturday, October 11th at Mac-O-Chee Castle in West Liberty. Tickets for the banquet can be purchased at Civista Bank in West Liberty, at West Liberty-Salem from 8-3:00 in the Central Office, or by calling 937-465-1140 to reserve your tickets.
We are proud to celebrate these trailblazers whose impact continues to ripple through Tiger Nation.

We are so grateful for our School Resource Officer, Deputy Brad Jarzab, who was recently featured in Peak of Ohio’s “Beyond the Badge” article.
Deputy Jarzab has served as WL-S’s SRO since 2017, and his impact goes far beyond safety. From greeting students in the halls, joining them at lunch, checking doors, and monitoring security, to being a mentor, listener, and trusted role model—he is a constant positive presence for our Tigers.
“What makes this job so rewarding is the chance to watch students grow and succeed… whether in sports, academics, or personal growth.” – Deputy Jarzab
Thank you, Deputy J, for the lasting difference you make every day at WL-S! 🧡

Starting from a casual interest, Olivia’s passion for golf quickly grew into leadership. She’s now our 2025 team captain, a 1st Team OHC golfer, and a former Team MVP. Her journey—highlighted by steady progress, big moments (like placing 3rd at sectionals), and her best scores (a 9-hole 39 and an 18-hole 83)—shows what determination and teamwork can achieve.

Blowing bubbles helps students focus on their breathing, calm their bodies, and re-center their minds… all while having fun with friends. Activities like this are a simple but powerful way we teach our Tigers to recognize their emotions and practice tools that support focus and learning.
