PhotoNews highlights from the 2013 Illinois girls' state track meet

May 20, 2013 - This past weekend, we spent three days at O’Brien Field covering girls’ state track. With more than 80 track and field programs to watch, we created a list, in no particular order, we think were the top ten highlights from the 41st year of the state championship program run by the Illinois High School Association. There were some incredible performances, moments and athletes at this year's meet. Here are our top ten memories below.

 
Golden Perfection
Sprinter Aaliyah Brown enjoyed a perfect state final Saturday. With her impressive burst of speed, the Lincoln-Way East’s senior won four state championship medals in 3A representing the Griffins. A four-time state-qualifier, Brown won her fourth state medal in the 100-meter dash. She was just one hundredth of second off the state record time by held by Waubonsie Valley’s Morolake Akinosun (2012, finals) and Morgan Park’s Alexandria Anderson at 11.41. The Texas A&M bound sprinter was also a member of the 100 and 200-meter relay squads that also placed first in the large school division. Follow this link to read all ten highlights: LINK
