Had a great conversation with former @NortheastCCMS standout and @FCDallas draft pick @nedouard22 about his time in Norfolk. His jersey hangs retired in Hawks’ coach Adam Potter’s office. Just one of the many nods to what Nys meant to the program.

Long-time Norfolk coach Aaron Bradley coached his last meet as a full-time coach at the state meet last week. It was a privilege to go around and hear all the stories that his athletes told about their time competing for him.

Bloomfield junior Ty Freeman finished second in the Class D 3,200. And despite not seeing the top of the podium, he was happy that his opponents ran their best races, as well.

The Cedar Catholic boys 4x800 squad didn't pay too much attention to their fifth-ranked seed time. They knew what they had to do to finish first and came into Burke ready to compete.

Plenty of champions to be crowned here on the final day of state track, and what a beautiful day to do it.
