This weekend (June 11, 2016) the late Ryan C. Jobes was inducted into the Mid Ohio Valley Sports Hall of Fame. Jobes, a model of hard work and determination was humble, modest, unselfish as well as a fierce competitor during his running career at Williamstown HS (WV) and the urichmond before an accident claimed his life at the age of 19  on December 20, 2005.

Jobes led WHS to back-to-back state track & field championship titles in 2003 & 2004. He won four events (the 400M, 800M, 1600M and 1600M Relay) in each of those years and was the state's high point scorer each year with 32.5 points.
-
In addition to the track, Jobes lettered in basketball, tennis and cross country while at Williamstown, but his running earned him a scholarship to the University of Richmond, where he continued his track and cross country career, placing third in the 800M as a Freshman at the 2005 a10conference Track & Field Championships and being named the Atlantic 10 Conference Rookie of the Week twice.

Jobes Memorial Scholarship was created while a December road race and spring track meet at Williamstown both carry on his legacy by bearing his name.

"If we're not careful we can easily lose ourselves in the abyss of what could have been...what should have been...or what would have have been instead of remembering what was."---UR Head Coach, Steve Taylor who accepted the award on behalf of Ryan and his family.
