Day 1 of the GHSA Track and Field State Championship Recap

The first day of the GHSA Track and Field Championships experienced significant delays at the East Jackson, Carrollton and Rome locations.

In Class 4A, the Discus and Long Jump were both completed on Thursday and Friday will include the the Pole Vault, High Jump, Triple Jump, Shotput and 3200 meter.
