The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) governs interscholastic athletics for high schools in Florida. Competitive running events culminating in a state championship series are overseen by this organization. Official timings, team placements, and individual athlete performance data from these competitions are collected and disseminated. These data sets allow for the recognition of top-performing athletes and teams at the state level.
Access to this information offers several key advantages. Coaches can analyze performance trends, identify areas for improvement, and strategize for future competitions. Athletes can track their progress, compare themselves to others, and set personal goals. Furthermore, these records contribute to the historical narrative of Florida high school athletics, preserving the achievements of student-athletes for future generations. The data also plays a crucial role in determining team and individual qualifications for regional and national level competitions, adding another layer of significance to the results.
