WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point track and field has released its full indoor and outdoor scheduled for the 2025-26 season, as announced by Director of Track and Field Mike Smith on Thursday afternoon.
Including postseason competition, the Black Knights are scheduled to compete in 12 meets during the indoor season and 12 during the outdoor portion of the schedule. Army will host six meets at West Point, including the Star Meet against Navy during the outdoor season.
"Our indoor schedule is designed to keep us close to home. There are a lot of quality indoor facilities on the East Coast, so we don't have to travel all that far to find good competitive meets.

We hope to qualify a big squad to the NCAA Regional Championships, and then the NCAA Outdoor Championship."
