Dozens of teams are gathering today for the Iowa Association of Track Coaches Indoor Championships at Iowa State University, and the Pella High School boys and girls track and field teams are in the mix for top finishes despite missing several key athletes due to the state basketball tournament and recent relays competition.

Why it matters

The IATC Indoor Championships are a prestigious annual event that showcases the top high school track and field talent in Iowa. Pella's teams have historically been strong contenders, and a strong performance at this meet can help build momentum for the upcoming outdoor season.

The details

The two-day meet is split by classes, with both genders competing at the same sessions. Pella will start competing at 9 a.m. today. While both the boys and girls teams will be without several key athletes due to the state tournament run for the Pella boys basketball team and the groups that competed at the Dickinson Relays at UNI earlier this week, the Dutch will aim to earn high finishes for both indoor events.
