The Mobile Challenge of Champions has long been held at the St Paul's Track & Field Complex. Here are the top 5 performance from each event at the complex over the past decade!

We've seen Florida sprinters at the state level, the national level, but our friends at NSSF take a look at perspective runners for the IAAF World Junior Championships and a slew hail from the Sunshine state. The list includes high school athletes as well as current college freshman. See the top ten athletes in each event that have met the qualifiying standards for the meet which will take place at the end of July at historic Hayward Field at the University of Oregon.

Highlights and coverage from Friday's 3A state meet in Jacksonville with on-site coverage from Todd Grasley, Randy Settle, and Andy Warrener.

The postseason is right around the corner for the outdoor track and field season. We know everyone loves some rankings. We decided to break it down by class and see who the leaders in each event were. Want to know who the one to beat is and where you stack up? Take a look. (Rankings are as of 4/10/2013)
