What makes the Middle School & Elementary State Meet different from the rest? Well it’s our 18th year for starters.

"Still THE ONE and only state championships"


This year our athletes will be running for a ring! We will be presenting our Ohio's Fastest Boy and Girl with an awesome fitted ring in recognition of their achievement!

In 2024 our Ohio's Fastest Boy will be getting an awesome 12 inch Statue of The Flash!

In 2024 our Ohio's Fastest Girl will get an exact replica of Dorothy’s Ruby Slippers from the 1939 movie The Wizard Of Oz!

The first 1,200 runners to register will get a free pair of Ohiocrosscountry.org Sunglasses!


We are giving a Willy Wonka Chocolate Bar to all top 15 finishers in every race, but the best part is that 5 will have a Golden Ticket wrapped inside that can be redeemed for any Long Sleeved shirt from Fine Designs on race day!
What is the one thing EVERY Top 3 finisher would want more than anything else....? Exactly, a GIANT GUMMY BEAR!!! We are giving one to the top 3 placers in every race in 2024!!

Coaches NOW is the time to add the Ohio Middle School State Championship meet to your regular season schedules for 2024! If you already have your limit of 12 meets scheduled consider replacing one of your smaller non competitive events with the state meet and bring your entire team to Dublin and spend a fun filled weekend with your kids.
