Bringing a mix of youth and experience, the Jefferson City Jays and Lady Jays are ready for whatever the Class 4 track and field state championships bring when it starts today at Adkins Stadium.
The Jays and Lady Jays were able to qualify in 12 events, eight on the girls side and four on the boys side, to the championships and feel battle tested after tough competition in the district and sectional round.
“I think with doubling our numbers from last year to this year and keeping a lot of the same members out into the state meet helps us,” Jefferson City coach Marshall Talley said.
