2018-19 Schedule
AUSTIN, Texas - The University of Texas announced its 2018-19 Indoor Track and Field schedule on Thursday morning. Head coach Edrick Floréal is in his first season in Austin, looking to continue building the program with an exciting and challenging indoor slate.
"Announcing the indoor schedule and starting the competitive season is exciting," Floréal said. "Not only getting to wear the burnt orange and white and represent Texas, but to put to the test the long fall months we have spent training. The early portion of the schedule is designed to both challenge and prepare us for the championship portion of the season where we hope to compete for some shiny hardware. We have stops planned at both the Big 12 and NCAA Championship sites in order to familiarize ourselves with these venues before go time."
The Longhorn women are looking to defend their Big 12 title from a season ago, their fourth in five years. The men finished second in 2018.
The indoor season begins on Dec. 8 with the Reveille Invitational in College Station. That meet will be one of four meets at Texas A&M on the indoor schedule and one of seven in the state of Texas.
After the holiday break, the Longhorns return to College Station for the Ted Nelson Invite on Saturday, Jan. 12. They'll then travel to Birmingham, Ala. for the Samford Invitational and Samford Open on Jan. 18-19, the site of the 2019 NCAA Indoor Championships (March 8-9).
After the Samford Invite/Open, the Longhorns will be split between the Houston Invitational and the UW Invitational (Seattle) the weekend of Jan. 25-26, before the multis return to College Station in the first weekend of February (1-2) for the Charlie Thomas Invite. The squad will split for the Texas Tech Shootout (site of the 2019 Big 12 Indoor Championships) and the Husky Invite (Seattle) the following weekend (Feb. 8-9) before closing out the regular season with the Texas A&M Aggie Twilight and the Alex Wilson Invitational (South Bend, Ind.) on Saturday, Feb. 16.
Big 12 Championships will be hosted by Texas Tech in Lubbock on Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23. NCAA Indoor Championships will be in Birmingham on Friday, March 8 and Saturday, March 9.
