Tri-Eastern Conference (IHSAA)


The Tri-Eastern Conference is a nine-member IHSAA-Sanctioned Athletic Conference formed by five schools in 1962. The current eight teams are located in the counties of Henry, Randolph, Union, and Wayne.

History

The conference was formed in 1962, with Cambridge City, Centerville, Knightstown, Liberty, and Union City. All five are current members of the conference, albeit two have different names through consolidation. Brookville and Hagerstown joined in 1966 to bring the membership to 7, however Knightstown would leave in 1968. The conference would grow to 7 members in the 1970s, adding Winchester and Northeastern. Tri joined in 1989 to bring the conference to eight. Knightstown would rejoin in 2017 with a phased program, with some sports joining in 2018.
