Tennessee State Indoor Championships Is Back! Marty Sonnenfeldt Dec 20, 2014

 It has been over 35 years since Tennessee has held official or unofficial state high school indoor track and field championships.   Neighboring states Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia all hold state indoor championships.   With high schools and clubs in the state of Tennessee investing more time developing an indoor season for their sprinters, jumpers and throwers, Tennessee track and field athletes are better prepared to preform well during what is a very short outdoor season.  Combine this with two well-established indoor track meets, the KYA High School Indoor Track Classic and the KYA-NYA Vanderbilt High School Indoor Invitational and you have the foundation to put a state meet on the launching pad.
