2023 MSHCA State True Team Championships Meet Schedule

---

The 2023 MSHSCA State True Team Championships are almost here and this is your spot to get all the information you need for the meet.

---

The true team series originated in 1987 by the State Track and Field Coaches Association to address the need in Track and Field for a True TEAM competition. In previous years, a team with a few elite athletes could win the "Team Championship" in a large meet. The Coaches thought the best TEAM should win the Team Championship.

In True Team competition, each team is allowed 2 entries in Class 1 A and 2A (3 entries in Class 3A) in individual events and 1 entry in each relay event. Every entry is placed and scored according to their order of finish, with the idea that a team's second or third entry becomes just as important as their first entry.

There are 3 classes in True Team Competition, with the classes based on enrollment. Enrollments are reviewed on an annual basis, and the True Team Committee revises alignments each July.

Throughout the state, there are 8 Sections in each class, with the champion in each section advancing to the State Meet. The next four best teams in the state in each class also advances as a "Wild Card."

Minnesota is the only state that holds True Team competition in Track & Field. It is organized, governed, coordinated, and sponsored by the State Track & Field Coaches Association.
