August 8, 2024 Track and Field Blog Updates

At its most recent meeting, the KHSAA Board of Control approved recommended parameters around the 2025 Indoor Track & Field Championships. The Board approved the change of indoor track competition rules to more closely align event listings with the NFHS Track & Field Rules Book. No conversions from similar events will be accepted for the 2025 season, and all qualification performances must come from the specific event.

Standard Indoor Track Events:

• 4x800m Relay
• 55m High Hurdles
• 55m Dash
• 4x200m Relay
• 1600m Run
• 400m Dash
• 800m Run
• *200m Dash
• 3200m Run
• 4x400m relay

To assist coaches and schools in planning for the upcoming season, the State Indoor Track & Field Meet will take place March 4-6, 2025 at the Norton Healthcare Sports & Learning Center, Louisville. The originally planned dates were unavailable due to contractual arrangements with the Atlantic Sun and these other dates were able to be secured. We are thankful for the continued use of this great facility and understand its demand in the Track and Field Community. We also wanted to get these dates out early to assist schools in addressing scheduling conflicts early in the year.

For 2025, the top 24 performances (max 2 per school) in each event will be preliminary state qualifiers (prior to the scratch deadline) with the expressed intent, where possible, of having a full field for each event. The deadline for any qualifying performances will be February 23rd at 9:00 PM.
