SPOKANE, Wash. – Gonzaga men's track head coach Pat Tyson announced the schedule for the 2024-25 indoor season. Beginning in Boston for the second straight season on Dec. 7, the men's indoor slate will run until the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships March 14-15 before transitioning to the outdoor season later in March.
The Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener has become a great early opportunity for the Zags to put down impressive times early in the qualifying stage of the indoor season. This year, GU will return to Boston for the second-consecutive season with the hope of running strong 5,000-meter races.
Next, Gonzaga will wrap 2024 with the Spokane Invitational (Dec. 14) in their first of six meets at The Podium. One month later, GU returns to The Podium for a pair of meets on Jan. 17-18. The Spokane Sports Showcase and the Spokane Indoor Challenge will run concurrently, featuring some of the region's top runners and one of the venue's top meets of the indoor season.
The Zag men will next make back-to-back trips to Washington's Dempsey Indoor Facility for the UW Preview/Mile City meet on Jan. 17-18 and the UW Invitational Jan. 31–Feb. 1. Last year's Mile City event featured 39 total collegiate heats and saw
Wil Smith break the program mile record as he notched his second-career sub-four-minute time.
Gonzaga will wrap up their meets at The Podium on three straight weekends in February. The first will take place on Feb. 1, where GU will race at Whitworth's Inland Northwest Invitational. Next up is the Riverfront Invitational & Multis on Feb. 7-8, hosted by Spokane Sports. The final Podium meet will be the Whitworth Invitational Feb. 14-15.
The Bulldogs will return to Demspey Indoor Feb. 14-15 for the Husky Classic, hoping to secure some qualifying times in their last meet before the NCAA Indoor Championships. Last year, Smith broke the program 3,000-meter record at the Husky Classic.
The NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships are set for March 14-15 in Virginia Beach, Va., and will be hosted by Norfolk State.
