We've reached the pinnacle of the Greater Cincinnati high school track and field season.
The athletes have worked all year to get to this point and are saving their best efforts for this weekend, the final meets of the season.
Ohio's state championships run from Thursday to Saturday at Dayton Welcome Stadium. In Kentucky, Class 1A competes on Thursday at the University of Kentucky, Class 2A on Friday, and Class 3A wraps up the weekend on Saturday. Indiana has one state championship meet for the entire state; the girls compete on Friday before the boys run, throw and jump on Saturday at Indiana University.
Here is a full list of the schools and athletes competing this weekend.
