The 2024 OHSAA State Track and Field meet will take place over three days during the upcoming spring season.
The competition is moving venues to Welcome Stadium in Dayton as Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus is temporarily unavailable due to construction.
OHSAA officials during its Board of Directors meeting Thursday approved the change from two days to three due to Welcome’s track only having eight lanes, whereas Jesse Owens had nine.
The BOD also approved a change to the girls wrestling state qualification.
A pre-regional round will now take place, effective immediately, prior to the regional competition. The OHSAA cited an increased number of girls participating as the reason behind the change.
