Warren Central dominated the sprints and jumps at the IHSAA State Finals, finishing first in the team race with 57.5 points. It was the most points a team had scored since North Central (Ind.) in 2019. The Warriors were able to accomplish this feat with only four girls competing: Jila Vaden, Laila Smith, Kira Smith, and Samaya Smith.

Bloomington North had a more balanced effort to take second place, scoring 41 points across the hurdles, throws, long jump, and 800-meter race.

Hamilton Southeastern and Carroll (Fort Wayne) finished in third and fourth with 29 and 26, while Brownsburg and Carmel tied for fifth place with 24 points.
