USA Track and Field (USATF) and the United Stated Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) have announced that U.S. Paralympics Track and Field will become a part of the USATF starting in 2025.

The move will essentially unite all U.S. Track and Field athletes under one organization and is a realignment focused on providing a higher standard of support and resources.

Beginning in 2025, USATF will absorb the U.S. Paralympic Track and Field National Team and respective development programs. Para athletes will then have access to the same support systems and ideally attention as other USATF athletes.

Three-time Paralympian and Paralympic gold medalist Hunter Woodhall shared his thoughts on the change in a provided statement:

"This change means so much to me and to the entire Para track and field community," he said. " Becoming part of one team with USATF is the right next step for Paralympic track and field and for Team USA, and it's incredibly exciting to see the investment , dedication, and future we're building together."
