Indiana and Illinois may as well be first cousins. The bordering states share a ton of similarities between them, are sports. Track and field at the "pure" amateur level is one of those sports. This weekend at Warren Central High School the temperatures are expected to be in the 90s with high humidity. To say the track will be baking is an understatement. The action is guaranteed to be just as hot in Indianapolis all weekend long.

Key figures to watch:

Rising youth superstar Ramiah Elliott of the Indiana Storm Track Club has yet to take a high school class yet she has run championship level times since the 7th grade. Last summer Ms. Elliott won the 13-year old 200m (24.11) and in the 400m with a scorching time of 54.97. Elliott's personal best is 54.50. She will be entered in the 100, 200, 400 for 14-year-olds.
