Meet The Naples Daily News 2023 Boys Track and Field All-Area Team
At the end of each season, the Naples Daily News selects All-Area teams honoring the best athletes for every sport. Coaches from area schools are sent nomination forms and are asked to nominate and rate their own athletes as well as those from other teams. That data combined with the Daily News' own research led to the selection of the All-Area teams.
