COLUMBUS — Spring sports are under way across Ohio and the Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced the dates and host venues for the state tournaments.

The track and field state tournament returns to Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of Ohio State University after being hosted at Welcome Stadium in Dayton last year due to the Jesse Owens track renovation. The state track meet has been held at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium from 2004-2019 and 2022-23.

The College of Wooster will host the boys tennis state tournament for the second consecutive year and Wittenberg University will host the boys volleyball state tournament for the thir -consecutive year. The lacrosse state finals return to Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus for the fourth-consecutive year.

The softball and baseball tournaments both expand from four divisions to seven divisions this year.

All 21 softball state tournament games will be played in Akron at historic Firestone Stadium, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
