The University of Pennsylvania has released its track and field schedule for the 2025-26 season, with seven indoor meets planned at the Jane and David Ott Center for Track and Field in Philadelphia.
The Quakers will start their season at home with the Penn Opener on December 5-6. The meet will begin with men’s heptathlon and women’s pentathlon events. After winter break, Penn will host four consecutive weekend meets, including the Penn Select on January 10, Quaker Invitational on January 17, Penn 10 Elite from January 22-24—which is expected to draw athletes from schools such as Penn State, Georgetown, UConn, Villanova, Brown, BYU, Princeton, Howard, Wisconsin, Navy, and Army—and the Penn Invitational on January 30.
The team will also travel to Lubbock, Texas for the Stan Scott Invitational on January 30-31. In February, they are set to host the Penn Classic (February 6-7) and Philadelphia Metro (February 20), which serves as a final preparation before championship competitions. On February 13-14, athletes will split between competing at Clemson’s Tiger Paw Invitational and Boston’s Valentine Invitational.
According to the announcement: “Team registration is currently full for all home meets during the 2025-26 indoor season.”
