Topmiller's place in the standings has usually been near the top, and St. Henry won the Class A boys team title because of it. He finished second in last year's high jump, third in long jump and eighth in triple jump. Topmiller took up the jumping events as a freshman in 1997 because they looked fun and he hated running. That was the week after he got back from Panama, his senior trip. That might have had something to do with it.
