The 2011 Fictional world of The Hunger Games was held at Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Organized by USA Track & Field (USATF), the two-day competition took place February 26–27 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 5–6 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]
