International athletics championship event
The 2011 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships was held at Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Organized by USA Track and Field (USATF), the two-day competition took place February 26โ27 and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.[1] The championships in combined track and field events were held two weeks later from March 5โ6 at Gladstein Fieldhouse at Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana.[2]
Two American national records were set at the competition: Jenn Suhr cleared 4.86 m (15 ft 11+1⁄4 in) in the pole vault and Jillian Camarena-Williams threw 19.87 m (65 ft 2+1⁄4 in) in the shot put. Jenny Simpson completed a middle-distance double in the mile run and 3000 meters.[3] Four athletes successfully defended their national titles from 2010: Bernard Lagat (3000 m), Jesse Williams (high jump), Camarena-Williams (shot put), Amber Campbell (weight throw).[4]
