USOPC Changes Venue for U.S. Paralympic Track and Field Trials
Event will be in Miramar, Florida, instead of California
Posted On: April 1, 2024 By :The 2024 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials for track and field will now be hosted at the Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar, Florida, instead of at the previously announced Chula Vista, California.
Ansin Sports Complex features a renovated running track identical to the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic track in Beijing. It has a seating capacity of more than 5,000. The venue has previously hosted the nation’s top Para athletes at the 2022 U.S. Paralympics Track & Field National Championships. The competition dates will remain July 18-21, 2024, as originally announced last year.
The trials will be shown across Team USA and NBC platforms as well as open to the public. The event will serve as the Team USA selection event for Paris 2024 for all Para track and field events except for the marathon. Four U.S. wheelchair racers – Tatyana McFadden (Baltimore, Maryland), Aaron Pike (Park Rapids, Minnesota), Daniel Romanchuk (Mount Airy, Maryland) and Susannah Scaroni (Tekoa, Washington) – already punched their tickets to Paris via the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon.
Toyota will return to support the U.S. Paralympic Track and Field team as an official Supporting Partner of Team USA Paralympic Trials.
“Toyota is proud to join the USOPC as a Supporting Partner of the Team USA Paralympic Trials in 2024” said Dedra DeLilli, group manager sponsorship marketing, Toyota. “We are looking forward to cheering on all competitors this summer as they look to secure their spot on Team USA and punch their tickets to Paris 2024.”
