The long runs in sub-freezing temperatures. The grueling workouts where quitting is never an option. The endless days of repetition, all with the hope of peaking when it matters most.
This weekend, it all comes into focus as the state’s best converge on the PCTA Field House for Saturday’s RIIL Indoor Track & Field Championships.
As has been the case in recent years, the meet will be split by gender, with the girls kicking off the competition at 9 a.m., followed by the boys at 2 p.m. Expect intensity from start to finish as athletes showcase their talents over more than eight hours of competition. This is a meet that never disappoints, and there’s no reason to believe this weekend will be any different.
Throughout the week, Ocean State Running will provide previews of every event. In a meet loaded with talent, which athletes are poised to shine the brightest? We’ll give it our best shot, predicting how we think things will unfold on the biggest stage.
Below is is the schedule of events and a link to live results. Per usual, OSR will be on site, providing complete coverage with photos, interviews and more. In conjunction with the RIIL and NFHS, our State Running network will also be providing a live stream of the meet with commentary.
