Schedule altered for High School Track and Field Championships
Saturday’s finals sessions will be split and spectators will be ticketed through qualifying participants due to capacity restrictions at this month’s IHSAA & IGHSAU State Track & Field Championships in Des Moines.
The three-day co-ed meet will remain at Drake Stadium on its previously announced dates: Thursday, May 20, and Friday, May 21, with finals on Saturday, May 22. Current attendance limits from Drake University and Polk County Health Department will be in place.
“Both Drake and Polk County were comfortable with two tickets per participant,” said Chris Cuellar of the Iowa High School Athletic Association. “It is not a hard capped number at this point because we won’t know how many kids we have in each session until after the state qualifying.”

State wrestling opens with limited attendance
The state high school wrestling tournament has a much different look in Des Moines. Normally, around 75 thousand fans pack Wells Fargo Arena for the three days of competition. This week attendance is limited to around four thousand per session. That is about 30 percent of capacity. Fans are required to sit in assigned seats and wear masks.
“We really hope fans can have a safe experience and follow the policies that are put in place,” said Chris Cuellar of the Iowa High School Athletic Association. “That is easier said than done but this is the biggest type of venue with the most personnel on hand to try and make it happen.”
