This has been the most impressive sports season in the short history of Oxford High School athletics. Three teams are vying for state titles - two of them are the No. 1 seeds in their respective divisions.
This week, we will find out if the Wolverines can pull out those revered state titles.
Today, several athletes from both the boys' and girls' track and field teams will compete for state titles at the State Open (all divisions) Championships beginning at 1:30 p.m. at Willow Brook Park in New Britain. Among those with the best opportunities for gold include Taylor Drayton in the shot put, discuss and possibly javelin for the girls, and Cameron Swift for the boys in the 1,600.
