Boys, Girls Indoor Track Teams Cap Off Successful Season at DIAA State Championships
The 2025-26 Delaware high school indoor track and field season came to a close on Saturday, February 21 in Philadelphia, PA. The DIAA Championships were held at the University of Pennsylvania's Ott Center, a roughly $70 million facility that opened last December. The Ott Center has a 200-meter banked track, two jumps runways, two pole vault runways and seating for more than 1,000 spectators. With 14 individual qualifiers across 10 events, Archmere was proudly represented from sprints to distance to field events... and the record books got an update!
