Track and field
State finals to move to Indianapolis
The boys, girls and Unified track and field state finals will take place at North Central High School this coming spring, moving away from its traditional home at Indiana University in Bloomington. The boys meet will take place on June 6, with the Unified and girls meets the following day.
North Central last hosted the state meet in 1997. IU had hosted each of the past 21 years with the exception of 2020 (canceled due to the COVID pandemic) and 2021 (at Ben Davis).
Girls lacrosse
IHSAA grants emerging sport status
The IHSAA named girls lacrosse as an emerging sport for the 2025-26 school year, setting off a process that could eventually lead to full recognition and sponsorship of a state tournament. The Indiana Girls Lacrosse Association has sponsored a state tourney since 2000, and 39 schools across the state fielded teams in 2023. To become officially recognized, at least 100 of the state’s 409 member schools must be participating.
