After this year's state championship, the tenth and final year of indoor track within the state of Maryland came to an end (we split up the decades by school years, beginning in 2010-2011 and ending in 2019-20). So let's look back at the top performances at states in that time period! We highlight the top ten sprint performances, plus the top times in each classification - be sure to be on the lookout for top 100 rankings in each event coming soon!
