You made it this far. You passed the test. All the hard work. All the dedication.
It’s all rewarded for one final competition in your home state. If you’re a senior, it’s the final one of your high school career. As they say, the last hurrah.
We’re talking about Saturday’s RIIL State Track & Field Championships. This weekend’s competition returns back to Brown Stadium after a brief hiatus. A venue where so much history has been made over the years.
With some of the state’s, and even the nation’s, top athletes converging together for one common goal of doing their absolute best out there on the Big Stage, we’re predicting, actually we’re guaranteeing, that more history will me made during six-plus hours and 19 events on the oval and beyond.
Leading up to the State Meet, we’re going to let you know who will be some of those athletes that will be making things happen, making some magic before the throngs of spectators expected to walk through the gates of Brown Stadium for the Greatest Show On Earth.
Throughout the week, we’ll be previewing each event this weekend. It will be a long and arduous week for us here at Ocean State Running, but it will be worth it. In collaboration with the NFHS Network, OSR will be live streaming Saturday’s meet.
