The large volume of raw data on the competitive performances of Ulyanovsk region track and field athletes does not yet allow assessing the level of their achievements and structure in events in comparison with representatives of other regions in Russia, as well as reflecting the dynamics of the development of various types of athletics among the athletes of the region.

 The goal of the study is to assess the level and dynamics of sports achievements of athletes representing Ulyanovsk region of Russia for the period from 2016 to 2020. Employing theoretical analysis of historical and reference literature on the research topic, analysis of documentary materials, methods of mathematical statistics, the author revealed a noticeably large number of athletes in the running rating, fewer in throwing, multiathlon, and none in walking . The dynamics of the average achievements of Ulyanovsk athletes is stable with signs of positive changes. The study showed that most successfully developing athletics disciplines among the representatives of Ulyanovsk region in running events are 100-, 200- and 10000-meteres races. In jumping events, the athletes show positive results in vertical jumps. Throwing is generally weak. At the same time, the males demonstrate a high level of competitive performances and positive dynamics in multiathlon over the studied period. The analysis made it possible to identify the current state of athletics in the region (in general, by groups of events and by individual events), the prospects for its development, which, in turn, will help to provide strategic planning for the development of athletics.
