The Niceville Eagles soared to new heights at the FHSAA 3A State Track & Field Championships, with the women's team securing an impressive runner-up finish and standout individual performances lighting up the scoreboard.

Shelby Plasier proved that champions never rest on their laurels, successfully defending her state title in the javelin. The senior star once again showcased the precision and power that have made her a force to be reckoned with in the throwing events, adding another gold medal to her already stellar resume.

Saylor Tolbert was a triple-threat on the track, earning three medals in the state meet. Her crowning achievement came in the 400m hurdles, where she captured the state title with a performance that left the competition in her wake. Tolbert's versatility and determination were on full display throughout the championship.

The Eagles' depth was particularly evident in the throwing events, where the team's shot putters made history. Four Niceville medalists combined for 28 points in the shot put alone—an FHSAA record for a single event. This dominance in the circle was a key factor in the team's overall success.

Charlie Perkins continued the throwing tradition, winning the state championship in the shot put and adding a silver medal in the discus. Kimah Allen also contributed with two third-place finishes in the shot put and discus, showcasing the program's strength under throws coach Emily Webb.

The Niceville men's team capped off an unforgettable weekend by bringing home the 3A state championship title, proving that the Eagles' track and field program is a powerhouse on both sides. With gold medals, record-breaking performances, and a second-place finish for the girls, Niceville has firmly established itself as a force in Florida high school track and field.
