Some Illinois high schools have never had a single athlete win a state championship in boys track and field, but in just one weekend, Oak Park and River Forest High School had three of its athletes take home state titles.
Kwabena Osei-Yeboah is also a junior, and also a new state title winner in the Long Jump. The guy they call “Gee Gee” ended the Huskies longest drought in an individual event, winning their first Long Jump championship since 1924. OPRF’s third and final state champion is Kaden Garland, who capped his high school career by outthrowing everyone in the Shot Put. Garland, who’ll throw next year at USC, had spent four years doing everything in his power to win gold, so the result was enormously satisfying.
