RIVERSIDE, Calif. - UC Riverside has released its track & field schedule for the 2025 indoor and outdoor season.   

The Highlanders will compete in 20 meets this spring, including the Big West Championships as hosted by Long Beach State.   

"We're excited about our schedule this year," Director of Cross Country/Track & Field Nate Browne said. "We're kicking off the indoor season with all our events at the same meet for the first time in almost a decade. This year's schedule gets our kids most prepared for the conference championships at Long Beach State and the NCAA West Preliminaries in College Station."
