The 2026 outdoor track and field season starts on Monday, March 30th, with practices starting. Later in April, meets will get underway, and here are the marks athletes will be chasing to qualify for the state championship meets in June. Any mark in BOLD signifies a change from the 2025 standard, and the second number is the provisional standard, which doesn't guarantee a spot in the state meet, while the first mark is the automatic standard, which ensures you are eligible to compete in the state meet in that event.
