The staff at Missouri MileSplit is looking for readers' input as we compile all-state teams from the 2023 track and field season.
A Small School team from Classes 1-2 and a Large School team from schools in Classes 3-4-5 will be named. Fans have the opportunity to vote and play a part in determining the team. Athletes are limited to nomination in just one event and one athlete per event will be named to the all-state team. Some athletes could be the favorite in multiple events but highlighting many athletes has been our focus.
Check back on a new poll for various events over the next few days. The all-state team will be unveiled soon.
Nominees for the girls 1600-meter runner of the year: The poll is open until Aug. 2.
