The Knoxville Track and Field Squads try to qualify for the State Meet tonight as the Class 3A State Qualifying Meet get going in Pella. The girls have made some of the biggest improvements of any team in the area this season. Coach Brad McWilliams tells KNIA/KRLS Sports the sprints and middle distance races have made some of the most improvements since the start of the season. For the boys, the mindset is a little different than last week’s South Central Conference Meet. Coach Joe Cunningham says it is a two teared strategy of putting the best runners and throwers in the best position to make the state meet and score. The meet is scheduled to start this afternoon at four at Pella High School.
