GREELEY, Colo. – Northern Colorado Track & Field is gearing up for a competitive 2025-26 campaign, as Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Wayne Angel announced the team's complete indoor and outdoor schedules on Thursday. The Bears will compete across the West and Midwest this season, highlighted by top-tier invitationals and championship meets spanning from Nevada to Oregon.

The Bears open the year in Reno, Nevada, at the Silver State Invitational & Combine hosted by Nevada from Dec. 4-6. UNC then heads south for the Colorado Running Company Pre-Holiday Invite & Multi at UCCS on Dec. 12-13, closing out the fall semester.
After the new year, Northern Colorado returns to Reno for the Silver & Blue Invitational (Jan. 9-10) before making a trip to Lincoln, Nebraska, for the Graduate Classic (Jan. 16-17). The Bears will also compete in the UCCS Invite (Jan. 24) and travel to Albuquerque for the New Mexico Team Open (Jan. 30-31).
February brings major challenges, as UNC visits Boulder for the Colorado Potts Invitational (Feb. 6-7) and the Tyson Invitational at Arkansas (Feb. 13-14), one of the nation's premier indoor meets. Championship season follows with the Big Sky Indoor Championships at Holt Arena in Pocatello, Idaho (Feb. 26-28), and qualified athletes will advance to the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark.

The Bears will remain in Colorado for the Doug Max Invitational (May 2) and the Air Force Twilight Open (May 9), setting the stage for the postseason.
