The enactment of Title IX required many universities to renovate their indoor track and field facilities to accommodate both men’s and women’s participation. The indoor weight throw was one of the new events added to the NCAA program for women. This presentation will examine characteristics of track and field indoor weight throwing facilities at universities throughout the United States. Learn important principles for design and management of a new or renovated facility to maximize safety.
