How Iowa State Track Qualification Works
Iowa has four classifications — 4A through 1A — co-sanctioned by the Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA, boys) and the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU, girls). The two organizations co-host a single state meet at Drake Stadium in Des Moines each May.
To qualify for state, athletes compete at one of the IHSAA/IGHSAU state qualifying meets — held at sites across Iowa about a week before state. Each site advances its top finishers in each event; the field at state runs across all four classifications, boys and girls together at the same venue.
Iowa publishes start lists, heat assignments, and final results through Wayzata Timing, the IHSAA and IGHSAU’s official timing partner. Below: every state meet, 2022–2025, all classifications and both genders, on a single Wayzata Timing page per year.
