## Resource

MSHSAA Executive Director Dr. Jennifer Rukstad and Assistant Executive Director Stephanie Turner preview the 2026 Missouri High School Track & Field championships, describing it as the largest spring event. They outline dates and location: Classes 1–3 on May 22–23 and Classes 4–5 on May 29–30 at Addkins Stadium in Jefferson City, with Memorial Day between the two weekends. The episode explains the postseason path from districts (40 total across five classes) to sectionals and state, with top-four advancement at each level, plus how prelims/finals work and why scheduling track and field events is complex. They detail staffing (300+ workers/officials), emphasize parking, walking, and buying digital tickets early due to heavy crowds and poor cell service, note streaming on MSHSAA TV, and share coach/spectator guidance, centennial/100th-championship bibs and medals, limited spectator access, and bib numbering by class.
