Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anyone make it to states?

I was lucky enough to make it to states twice for cross country in high school. I got smoked but it was a good experience at the time. Any other people on the fire make it to states in high school? I know my woman made it a few times as a sprinter. I went to high school with a guy that won the state championship for the pentathalon. Got a full ride to Penn State. Now he's an organic farmer.

No, you werent. You were good enough. thats how it works.




My son did quite well in county's but didnt qualify for states (yet). He's just a frosh.

We made states in football all 4years of HS, but I didnt come out with a ring.

Good times. Great experiences.

I made it to state (Kansas) in the FFA entomology contest. Niece made it in girls basketball, and they won the state.

I just found out last fall that my fishing buddy was a bit of a local track star, setting a school record (which still stands) as an 8th grader of 4.46 for the mile. I don't recall how he did at states.

That's quick! I never broke 5:00 in the mile. Drove my coach nuts. Ran a 5:01 a few times in the first half of the 3200m. Never could punch through that wall.

My uncle ran a 4:24 on a cinder track back in the day. That was a true mile too

Made states as a sprinter, pole vault and 4x400 relay - school record there we had a shot at states in relay til our 2nd leg guy didn't show. I ran first leg, gave him a tie for the lead, we were last after his leg

Made state finals in football, lost by a field goal

I made it to 'states' on our high school ROTC Rifle Team...

If you can imagine a time when schools had rifle teams....

Qualified for state Dashes( 100,220, 440) four years in a row. School refused to spend money to send a single student to state meet.

Damn man.

Nice!

My son made it to the states finals for his age bracket in hockey a couples years ago. Qualified again last year but gov bitchmer cancelled the tournament on them

Went to the New England tournament in wrestling. Dislocated my shoulder in the first round so I was screwed. Gritted it out and finished 3rd in my weight class. I was happy with that considering the injury.

I never did. Both kids went to the state pool - daughter in swimming and son for diving.

The boy went to D-2 NCAA nationals 3 years running for diving.

Last year the kid's marching band took the state championship for, IIRC, the 12th year in a row.

We won Class "B" State Baseball Championship my senior year. I was center fielder.

1875?

Got injured as a freshman so my sports activities ended then. My true competitiveness didn't show for a couple years so it would not have mattered.

Participated in FFA competitions. Won state competition in one of the most competitive states in the nation.

Now my kids are involved in high school activities.

Daughter's softball team won 2 years ago. Season cancelled last year. Her freshman year the volleyball team won state also but she was jv. She has competed very well in state speech competitions in FFA as well. Making state numerous times. Placing as high as 2nd. She is returning again this year as the district prepared speech champion. She is poised to do well at state this year. That is her goal because she wants to move forward to the national competition.

Son is a sophomore. Made it to state last years wrestling. Ended up 5th. Years previous he has won state in freestyle and greco both in usaw. Placed as high as 2 in folk in aau. Divisionals coming up in a couple weeks and then state. Barring injury he will be in it at state this year.
