SPARTANBURG, S.C. – USC Upstate track and field has announced its 2026-27 indoor schedule, featuring seven meets highlighted by regional competitions, the Big South Conference Championships and the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships.

Following the season opener, the Spartans will return to Winston-Salem on January 17 for the ASICS College Sunday Showdown at the JDL Fast Track, marking their first competition of the new calendar year.
Upstate will then travel to Lexington, Virginia, for a two-day meet at VMI on January 22-23. The competition provides another opportunity for the Spartans to build momentum as they move into the heart of their indoor season.
