You can see below where 5A is with one weekend of track and field to go before state. True to what we've been seeing in other classifications, it's largely the distance events that are most ahead of schedule this year. The 5A 800 is just simply brutal this spring for getting a qualification--and it will probably drop another couple notches this weekend. You'd better come to your meet this weekend with your wheels on...
