Baylor Track & Field Releases 2024 Schedule
WACO, Texas – Baylor track and field head coach Michael Ford announced the 2024 indoor and outdoor schedules on Monday afternoon. The Bears are slated to compete in 15 meets across nine states, all while welcoming collegiate track and field to Waco for a program-record four times.
“I am super excited for the track and field schedule this season,” said Ford. “It will be great to compete in Texas A&M’s new facility, go to Nebraska for the first time in a decade and compete at a future Big 12 site in Arizona. On top of it all, hosting three meets and then competing on our home track for the Big 12 Championship will be a great experience for our student-athletes and an excellent opportunity for our fans.”
The Bears open the indoor season in the McFerrin-12 Degree Invitational on Jan. 13th. It will be the first meet ever held in the Aggies’ new R.A. “Murray” Fasken Indoor Track Facility. The next week, the annual trip to Texas Tech’s Corky Classic is set for Jan. 19-20.
