HIGH POINT, N.C. – The High Point University men's and women's track and field teams announced the indoor and outdoor schedules for the 2025-26 season. The Panthers will start their season in December with 13 indoor meets ahead of the Big South Conference Indoor Championships and the NCAA Indoor Championships. High Point will then move on to the outdoor season which features 15 regular season meets before the Big South and NCAA Championships.
 
"We have the ability to compete with the best in the country without leaving North Carolina, Virginia, or South Carolina," Head Coach Mike Esposito stated." At the same time, we're traveling our national-caliber athletes to meets as needed. We're proud to highlight our Scored Team Challenge, sponsored by Norris Woody — we strongly believe the team concept is the future of our sport. Our 17th annual VertKlasse Meeting will be the biggest and best yet, featuring an exciting new addition — the Alumni Mile. This year marks our first-ever trip to Texas A&M, and we're thrilled to host the Big South Conference Outdoor Championships again at Vert Stadium."
