As grad parties wrap up and summer plans unfold, it's good to know that the high school football season is less than three months away. That seems like a decent break from prep sports after Owatonna's athletes run and jump at this weekend's state track and field meet.

The Huskies are the defending Class 5A state champions and will begin their focus on the 2018 season well before the August 31 opener. A summer of competing in seven-on-seven leagues, camps and weight training lies ahead for them. Owatonna graduates heavily for a record-setting season, but returns Golden Gopher commit Jason Williamson who already holds the OHS record for rushing yards in a career.
