PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton women's track and field team has announced its full indoor and outdoor schedule for 2026, featuring a full slate of top competition and the opportunity to host the outdoor Ivy League Championships.
Chasing another Triple Crown after a successful 2025 cross country season that saw the Tigers claim their second-consecutive Heps title, the Tigers will now take to the track for the spring semester.
The indoor season began in December with the Penn Opener, but will pick back up in January with a dual at Navy (Jan. 10). To close out January, the Tigers will return to Penn for a series of meets with the Quaker Invite (Jan. 17), the Penn Elite (Jan. 23-24), and the Penn Invite (Jan. 30), with a stop in NYC for the Dr. Sander Scorcher on Jan. 23-24.
In February, the Tigers will ship up to Boston for the Crimson Open (Feb. 13) and the BU David Hemery Valentine Invitational (Feb. 13-14). Some of the squad will also split for the Tyson Invitational at Arkansas (Feb. 13-14), the site of the indoor track and field championships.
One more stop at Penn for the Philadelphia Metro Meet (Feb. 20) and one more trip up for the Saucony Battle for Boston DMR challenge (Feb. 22) will close out the indoor regular season.
