Hail the mighty Admirals

Iowa high school track events switched to the metric system in 1978. This change adjusted running distances from yards to meters (such as the 440-yard dash changing to the 400-meter dash and the mile run changing to the 1600-meter run), coinciding with Drake University rebuilding its state meet track to metric specifications. Fully automatic timing (FAT) was also introduced at the state meet level that same year.
