Several area indoor track teams will be competing for individual and team titles on Sunday, but this year’s NHIAA championships have a new home. For the first time ever, Plymouth State University will host the indoor track championships, taking over as the host site from Dartmouth, the site of almost every championship since 2004.

The Division II championship will start at 9:30 a.m. and D-I will begin at 4:30 p.m. Both meets will begin with the field events and immediately start running events after the field events are completed.

The Coe-Brown Northwood Academy boys’ team is aiming to defend its title, while a few other programs also have the chance to take home some hardware. The top six finishers in each event between the combined results from D-I and D-II will advance to New Englands. 

A complete list of all Capital Area qualifiers (with events and top-six seeds in parentheses) is below.
