Welcome to this

State Championship Event

The IHSAA State Finals are a time for celebration
and reflection. While we celebrate the triumphs and
achievements of the student-athletes competing today,
we’re also able to reflect on the importance of
welcoming our fans back and thanking them for their Special Thanks To Our Hosts
support.
