In a little more than a decade of indoor track and field competition the Capitol Region Athletic League has seen growth in member schools from four to over a dozen as well as a name change to the Greater Hartford Conference. The 2026 GHC Indoor Track and Field Championships, held Wednesday night at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven, saw meet records broken and ended with the Innovation boys and Hartford Magnet Trinity Academy girls earning the top team honors.
