The Pensacola area’s best track and field athletes head to Hodges Stadium at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville this week to try to run, jump or throw their way to state titles.
The action starts Wednesday with the 1A meet, continues Thursday with the 2A meet and concludes for local competitors on Friday with the 3A meet. No Escambia or Santa Rosa County schools are in the 4A classification, which competes Saturday.
Athletes either had to finish in the top two at their respective regional meet or qualify as an at-large bid. 1A and 2A athletes will have to battle the heat, with high temperatures around 90 degrees expected both days. 3A athletes will have to battle the elements, with rain in the forecast on Friday.
Below is a complete list of area athletes competing at the FHSAA state championship, as well as where they’re seeded in each event. All times and rankings are courtesy of FloridaTFFRS.
