The GHSA girls state track and field championship will get underway this afternoon in Albany, and for a handful of local girls, the ultimate goal is now within sight. A total of 36 girls from area schools are now just one good jump, throw, or race away from a state title, and enough of those efforts could put some schools in position for a strong team showing. Statesboro leads the way with 11 girls making the trip across the state.
Going for the gold
36 of the area's best set for GHSA Track State Championships
