And while the performances on the track were incredible, the showing off the track was just as special. EVAC families and fans made up the overwhelming majority of those in attendance at the State Championship. You could feel it in the air—love, support, and community surrounding every single athlete. It was beautiful. If you were there cheering, encouraging, and celebrating alongside us: thank you. Your presence mattered more than you know, and it made this moment unforgettable.


Congratulations to our athletes for bringing home 5 State Championships and setting a new standard of excellence for EVAC Track & Field.


Well done, EVAC.
