Mateo Medina

Mateo Medina may be the talk of Elyria right now, and for good reason! Medina, a graduating senior from Elyria High School, obtained his goal this spring by winning the Triple Crown, capturing the State Championship in the 100, 200, and 400 meter dashes. Mateo’s efforts were also strong enough to single-handedly lead the Pioneers to the team title as well.

Mateo joined our own Rocco Nuosci as he talked about reaching his goals this spring, all the hard work and dedication that was put in toward meeting those goals, and his excitement to continue running at the collegiate level.

Kaitlyn Donaldson

Kaitlyn Donaldson with the Lorain Historical Society joined our Bruce Van Dyke to talk about the 100th anniversary of the Lorain tornado, coming up on June 28, 2024. There is a remembrance event planned at Lakeview Park and the society’s website has picture postcards and stories from that tragic Saturday in 1924.

Take a listen to Bruce’s conversation with Kaitlyn below!

Plus, Bruce takes us back in time to 2014, where on the WEOL Morning Show, Bruce chatted with Betsy D’Annibale, author of The 1924 Tornado in Lorain and Sandusky, as she shared stories from her book about the deadly tornado.
