(November 20, 2009) -- Are you ready for some ... indoor track and field?
In what could be the first step toward the possible expansion of track and field to someday host an official California indoor state track and field meet, DyeStatCal has learned that a state-meet style indoor event is being organized by a private group and set to take place on Saturday, February 6th at the Save-Mart Center on the Fresno State University campus.
Participation into the meet will be by performance qualification only, with a series of six pre-determined all-comers meets across the state being contested two weeks prior to the February 6th affair. The top four placers in selected track events at each of the six meets will determine 24 automatic qualifiers, with up to eight additional 'at-large' qualifiers per event for a total of 32 entries. The top two placers in selected field events at each of the six meets will determine 12 automatic qualifiers in those events, with additional 'at-large' qualifiers also being invited.
The sites of the six all-comers meets will be officially announced shortly, but it appears two meets will be hosted in Northern California (one in the Sac-Joaquin Section region and another in the North Coast Section region), once in Central California (in the Central Section region) and three in Southern California (two in the Southern Section region and one in the San Diego Section region).
The events tentatively scheduled for the indoor finale are the 55-meter dash, the 55-meter hurdles, the 600-yard run, the 800-meter run, the mile, the two-mile, the 4x160-yard relay, the 4x400m relay, the pole vault, the high jump, the long jump and the shot put.
More details on the qualifying meets and the February 6th finale will be released in the comnig days!
