Updates

Title time. This is it (8:30 a.m.): The third and final day of the 2023 CHSAA state track and field championships. What comes next will be a fast and furious ride to the finish line as 78 individuals, 20 relays and 10 teams are crowned state champions over the next 10 hours. There will be drama. There will be down-to-the-wire finishes. And there will probably be a few tears. No matter what, it should be fun. — Matt Schubert
