State Weekend is here! After an eventful weekend of Regional races, we are ready to crown 12 State Champions across the 6 classes. But first, it's time to vote for which girl you think had the best performance of the 2024 season.
All year long, you have been voting on who had the best performance each week. Now that we are at the end of the season, we have collected the winners from each poll and pushed them into one, final poll to determine who had the top performance of the season.
This week, polling starts on Monday, Oct. 28th at 8 a.m. and ends on Friday at 12 p.m.
