I think the idea of having a HS Girls only meet one day, and Boys only the next would be a good way to mix things up. It would cut down on the overall time at the meet, and it would change some strategy regarding doubling.
I also like the idea of a Mixed Relay Day, where every relay is 2/2 split.
Where did I argue that all male championships aren't possible in athletics? I don't believe we'll have them but that's not the same as arguing they couldn't happen.

To clarify, I like this a one off, one meet thing.
You must be a woman then. Men WC is in Nice this year and women are in Kona.
They we t gender specific event a few years ago.
Nobody died as a result
Did it increase fan interest and viewership?
I don’t think single gender track meets are somehow absurd, I participated in many in high school. I do think a lot of posters arguing for them think women’s track is somehow worse, and I’ve been pushing back on that.
I’m also unconvinced that single gender meets will increase viewership.

The have women golf tournaments and separate men golf tournaments…
The OP is right, very few sports are co-ed like track.
I think that even NCAA swimming is also not co-ed.
