The New York State Public High School Athletic Association Outdoor Track & Field Championships will also be held over two days, with Middletown High School hosting June 9 and 10.

The first-place Division I and Division II finisher in each event qualified for the state meet, along with the next-highest finisher who has met the state standard at any invitational or championship meet during the season. Athletes can also qualify for states by meeting a super standard during the season.
