You might have noticed local schedules listing “indoor track” for the current Fall II season in the pages of the Gazette recently.
That’s not a misprint. While indoor track & field was jettisoned from the winter season to Fall II due to COVID-19 regulations, the sport is being run outdoors, while still following the event schedule of an indoor meet.
The difference between the two types of meets is exactly what you might expect: all meets are held outdoors, though distances for events are different while following the indoor slate. For example, the short sprints are 55 meters indoors, opposed to 100 meters outdoors. The number of field events is also different, as outdoor events like javelin, discus and pole vault are not being held.
