Niceville has won the FHSAA District Title for both men and women consecutively over the last 8 seasons. Niceville Track & Field was faced with the new challenge of moving from class 3A to 4A in 2021, and we think we "made a statement". As Niceville left behind their former District foes, the margin of victory at the 2018/2019 3A District Championships over Fort Walton Beach was 543.5 to 274.5 (girls), and 478 to 308 (boys). COVID-19 shut down the 2020 season, and the 2021 Eagles fought to preserve the 2020 Eagle's legacy. The 2021 Eagles delivered, and made a statement against their new 4A District foes by outscoring them 309 to 85 (girls), and 237 to 126 (boys). The 2022 Eagles won (girls) 274-147 and (boys) 194.5-139 over Gainesville Buchholtz. The 2023 Eagles won (girls) 215-144 and (boys) 216-112. The District launchpad would set the tone for historical Regional and State Title runs over the next coming years...The 2021 Eagles went on to win the men's State Championship, while the women took State Runner-up. The 2022 season was historical with Niceville’s men and women sweeping the State Championships. The 3PEAT efforts by our men’s program in 2023 was a dominate one. In 2024, in an epic battle with Track & Field powerhouse Miami Christopher Columbus, Niceville earned a 4PEAT in a tie for the State Championships. It came down to the last race - "hare and the hound".

In 2024, Niceville's men's program continued their 4PEAT streak of Regional Championships. The 2023 Eagles picked-up on where the 2021/2022 Eagles started. They swept the 2023 FHSAA Class 4A Region 1 Championship for the third year in a row. The class of 2021 made history by sweeping for both genders. This was the boys third-ever Regional Championship in the school’s history, and marked the fifth Regional Title for the girls. Led by field events and hurdles the Eagles turned heads at the University of North Florida, and set the tone for an even more historical feat at the State Meet. This domination began in 2017, led by Abbie Harrelson's 35 points, the Girls took home the program's first-ever Regional Championship. They bested powerhouses Pensacola Pine Forest and Tallahassee Lincoln by 24 points. The 2019 Girls team dominated in the field events to win the program's second Regional Championship. Before the running events ever began, the field events scored 82 points, with the final score being 109 - 83 (over rival Pine Forest). The 2020 team was predicted to win for both genders at the 4A Region 1 Championships until COVID-19 stopped everything.

In 2024, Aidan Broussard repeated as the State Champion in the Javelin Throw, and Van Carter stood on top of the podium in Pole Vault. In a third place overall finish, the Eagle's women were lead by State Champion Javelin Thrower Elaina Perkins. "The day of the Isbell Brothers". Landon Isbell threw a massive PR on his finial throw in the Javelin to be crowned THE State Runner-Up. Dawson Isbell took the team on his back earning State Runner-Up in the open 800m, third place in the 4x100m Relay (along with teammates Sawyer Buelow, Jack Jones and Robert Stith), and then the unforgettable State Runner-Up finish in the 4x400m Relay (along with teammates Sawyer Buelow, Anthony Reuther and Robert Stith) to secure the State Championship. Terrence Powe earned the Bronze Medal in the Discus. This 4PEAT was by far the most challenging State Title run for the Eagles. In 2023, Terrence Powe became Coach Webb’s second State Champion in the Discus, while Aidan Broussard became her third male State Champion in the Javelin Throw (breaking the State of Florida Record). These efforts accompanied with State Runner-Up performances by Raiden Lafortune (Javelin), Joe Hanson (Shot Put), Van Carter (Pole Vault) and a Bronze Medalist showing by Oli Broutin (Triple Jump) led the 2023 Niceville Eagles to a 3PEAT of the State Championship.

Aidan has four State medals, and they're all GOLD! Blake Orr earned State Runner-Up in the Javelin Throw, while Nathan Stepp earned fourth. Niceville's women's 4x400m Relay earned a State Runner-Up placement running a 3:52.26 (Muka Dillon, Aleena Ponto, Yaremi Figueroa, Jasmine Dereje).

Mak Ely and Aidan Boyd were both named the 4A State Champions, while Megan Hague and Nathan Stepp were named the State Runner-Ups - all in the Javelin Throw.

In 2017 Edward "Ed" Shelikoff earned State Runner-Up in the Discus with a monster throw of 61.16m. Abbie Harrelson, Alexis Sherwin, Erin Eubanks and Hannah Schneidewind accomplished the same a few years later, winning gold in the 2017 Girls 4x800 (defeating national powerhouse Miami Northwestern). On the field side, Charlie Tidwell was the 2010 State Champion in the Boys Shot Put, while Eli West added another Shot Put Title in 2018.
