ST. CLAIRSVILLE — The march to the OVAC Cal Pokas Championships– perhaps more aptly the run, jump and throw to the OVAC Cal Pokas Championships– began Monday at St. Clairsville High School’s Red Devil Stadium, where OVAC 4A and 5A Qualifiers took place as athletes from across the valley tried to earn their spot in the conference meet, set for Saturday at Red Devil Stadium.

The top four finishers in each relay and individual track event, and the top five in each field event, qualified for Saturday’s championship.
