CHENEY, Wash. — Eastern Washington University announced today the program's track and field schedule for the 2024-25 season, as finalized by Director of Track and Field
Erin Tucker.
Eastern is slated to compete in 11 indoor and ten outdoor meets not including NCAA championships.
"We are happy to have the opportunity to compete again some pretty good competition throughout the indoor season," said Tucker. "This is pretty similar to what we did last year. There will be awesome competition at every meet and now we have more elite athletes that will definitely take advantage of the amazing schools we will compete against. Having access to the Podium each weekend is huge and being able to go to Idaho and UW to test ourselves on oversize tracks to get ready for the indoor Big Sky meet at NAU is huge! I believe the staff and I set us up for success and it is time to rock and roll in December! Outdoor, our two California trips, Long Beach and then Conference, helps us take advantage of the amazing California weather. We are super excited to have the Big Sky in California this year. Stay tuned for the fireworks! Go Eags!!!"
