The OHSAA Track and Field State Tournaments are being held from May 30-June 1 and are being held at Welcome Stadium in Dayton this year.  The State Tournament has been held at the Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium at The Ohio State University since 2004 but the old track at that location is currently being replaced with a new track. 

OHSAA announced in the fall of 2023 that the state tournaments would be temporarily moved to Welcome Stadium for the 2024 athletic year but would be hosted at the Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus for 2025 and 2026.
