There’s no greater feeling for a high school track & field athlete than to compete against the best on the highest stage of track & field and win the gold medal signifying state champion. Well for twelve local athletes, that euphoric feeling of triumph came true as they won state championships in their own backyard at the University of North Florida. We highlight the Top 8 State Finalist in every class in a series of stories next featuring Class 4A.
