Center Point High School to host Alabama State Games track and field events
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — We're just hours away from the opening ceremony for the 42nd Alabama State Games at Legacy Arena. Softball is back for the first time since 2015. More than 90 teams are registered to play softball at Bill Noble Park and the Trussville Sports Complex. We spoke with executive director Laura Creel Burt at Legacy Arena about what makes this event so special. 'There's lots of tournaments around, but the participants are not going to have this experience,' she explained. 'There's not a parade of athletes at every tournament. They're not going for gold, silver and bronze medals at every tournament, and they don't always get to have a podium moment at other tournaments. So we just feel like this is a very unique experience for athletes.' The Cauldron is now in place ahead of Friday's opening ceremony and parade of athletes at Legacy Arena. This year, more than 4,300 athletes are registered to compete in sports including softball, pickleball, tennis and track, which is being hosted by Center Point High School for the first time. Those numbers are up from 2024 by more than a thousand athletes, according to organizers. Twenty One Pilots announces 2 Alabama tour dates in 2025 Preston Wilson, track and field coach at Center Point High School says there are two types of competitors among the more than 700 athletes who will take part in events on Saturday: 'We've have people competing for PRs, which is their personal records, and you have teams competing for points and most medals,' Wilson noted. 17-year-old Ke'Asia Washington is one of the best high school girl shot putters in the state. The Center Point High School student won the silver medal at the 5A state championship. She said her strategy for Saturday is all about focus: 'I don't really look at the competition because if I look at it, then I'll be nervous,' she explained. 'I've got to go knowing I'm the top one.' If you want to come out and cheer on Washington and the other athletes. The track and field events are expected to kick off on Saturday at 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. respectively. Coach Wilson added that they do have an inclement weather plan to keep everyone safe. For more information on the Alabama State Games, click here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
