What the records establish
This is a Josh-specific athletics record, not a general history of Fairmont sports.
The season roster lists Josh in grade 12; contemporary coverage documents the 100m, 200m and 4×100.
Photo Press reports first-place finishes in both events at a May 2016 Fairmont meet.
The official-format Class A results list Fairmont third in the 4×100 final.
Evidence boundary
Fairmont High School and the 2016 season
The independent school evidence is narrow and clear: a 2024 Fairmont Sentinel profile calls Liljenquist a Fairmont high school graduate, and the preserved 2016 boys track roster lists him as a senior. A May 2016 Sentinel feature describes his senior-season return to track.
The athletics record below stays within the times, placements, team lineup and award published in contemporaneous sources. It does not use later self-reported relay splits or treat a relay result as an individual state placement.
