Both teams will aim to continue their dominant season at the area meet on April 14. It will take place at Mineral Wells High School. The Lady Blues will have 16 athletes represent that team, while the Steers will have 19 athletes represent their team.
Graham will look to have its first state champion since Hunter Dooley won the state title in shot put in 2016-17.
