FARGO – The North Dakota State Class A and Class B state indoor track and field meets will now be held outside due to a favorable weather forecast.

North Dakota State head men’s track and field coach Don Larson confirmed the move Tuesday and said the meets will now be combined into a one day event on Saturday at the Ellig Sports Complex.

Field events are scheduled to begin at noon and the track events will start at 1 p.m.

There will be a full slate of events and the results will be separated by Class A and Class B.

Moving the event outside means there now is a opportunity for area athletes to qualify for the state track and field meets to be held May 25-26 in Bismarck.

Larson said the number of entries each school is allowed per event has yet to be determined, but having the event outdoors likely means a greater number than if it were held inside.

In the event of poor weather, Larson said the meet would be moved inside to the Bison Sports Arena.

Looking forward to it! I hope they severely limit entries, otherwise we're not going to get out of there until midnight. :)
