November 03, 2025 | Track & Field
LOS ANGELES - Â The USC track and field team released their indoor and outdoor schedule for the 2026 season on Monday. The Trojans return to the track with 2025 NCAA Men's Coach of the Year Quincy Watts entering his fifth year at the helm of the program. The team will look to build on the two men's national championships and a women's conference title from last year with 20 new additions to the squad.Â
The Trojans will kick off the indoor season on Jan. 16 at the Spokane Sports Showcase in Washington. At last year's showcase, the team delivered a spectacular performance, racking up nine wins across the men's and women's teams.Â
The following week, the team will return to Texas Tech for the Red Raider Invite on Jan. 23, aiming to mimic their dominant showing at last year's meet.Â
To close out their January run, the team will travel to Kansas State University for their debut at the DeLoss Dodds Invite on Jan. 30 and 31.
Marking the midpoint of the indoor season, the Trojans will compete in the New Mexico Collegiate Classic on Feb. 6 and 7. They return to New Mexico the following week for the Don Kirby Elite Invite hosted by the University of New Mexico. After back-to-back weekends in New Mexico, the Trojans will have a week to prepare for the the Big Ten Indoor Championships starting on Feb. 27, where both the men's and women's squads placed in the top three last year.Â
To close out the indoor season, the team will return to the NCAA Indoor Championships starting Mar. 13 where the men's team will look to defend last year's title, and the women will aim to build on their third-place finish.Â
Transitioning to the outdoor season, the Trojans will host the Ron and Sharlene Allice Trojan Invite on Mar. 27 and 28 at Allyson Felix Field. Last year, USC dominated the meet, winning 13 different events and seeing two Trojans break school records.
Heading into April, the Trojans will travel to Baton Rouge to compete in LSU's Battle on the Bayou on Apr. 3 and 4. Following this meet, the Trojans will have a week off before competing in the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, California, starting on Apr. 17.Â
Two weeks later, the Trojans will host UCLA for the annual dual meet on May 2 and 3 at Allyson Felix Field for the final regular-season competition.
The Big Ten Outdoor Championships will take place in Lincoln, Nebraska from May 15-17. Last year, the women's team took home the win, while the men's team placed fourth out of 17 teams.Â
To continue their playoff run, the Trojans will travel to Fayetteville, Arkansas for the NCAA West Regionals, where athletes will compete for a spot in the NCAA Finals in Eugene Oregon on June 10-13. At last year's finals, both teams recorded historic performances, with the men's team winning the national title and the women's team taking the runner-up spot.Â
