Several state champions and competitors ranging from 8 to 64 years old highlight over 200 entrants in the inaugural 16 event Gainesville Sports Commission Indoor Track and Field meet scheduled for February 2, 2008 in the Stephen C. O’Connell Center on the University of Florida campus.
With a good amount of support pledged on the forum, the wheels were put in motion to create the first true high school indoor track & field meet in Florida in years. While the meet is of course not an FHSAA sanctioned event, it will be targetted at the high school age bracket--rather than just being a couple of high school events tacked on to a college meet.The event will take place on February 2 at the O'Connell Center at the University of Florida campus in Gainesville -- the state's only indoor track. It is sponsored by the Gainesville Sports Commission, with the goal of signing on some sponsors and making it a major annual event. There will also be races for open and masters divisions.
