December 14, 2023 Athletic Department Blog Updates

As you plan for spring events in 2024, we would like to remind schools about the postseason dates for outdoor Track & Field. Please make sure all parties involved in planning graduation dates, spring activities, etc. are aware of the postseason dates which should help fans, coaches and administrators avoid scheduling conflicts.

• First Date of Practice: December 1
• First Allowable Contest Date: January 8
• Region Meets: May 6 – May 22
• As regions begin preparation, please remember that all scheduling is led by the regional host, but discussions and planning should include all schools involved.
• The KHSAA State Track & Field Meet will return to the University of Kentucky on May 30-31, June 1, 2024.
• Class 1A will compete on May 30, followed by Class 2A on May 31, and Class 3A on June 1.

In addition, the KHSAA wanted to make schools aware that the city of Lexington will be hosting the Railbird Festival once again on the same weekend, June 1-2. Hotel room rates and availability may be affected, so we wanted to remind you again as far in advance as possible.
