IAC Championships - Section 4 (at Dryden High School) ... The IAC Track & Field Meet is contested over a two-day period with both boys and girls competing ... this time format allows additional rest between races with hopefully faster times ... for example, the seeded 1500/1600 meters is run on Day 1 and the seeded 3000/3200 meters is run on Day 2 ...
