Indoor track & field season gets started Friday in Bozeman
12/2/2021 9:26:00 AM | Men's Track and Field, Women's Track and Field
After Montana's 2021 indoor season was scrapped due to COVID-19 precautions, the Grizzlies are slated for a full indoor season this winter.
Â
The campaign won't fully get underway until January, when Montana competes in regional meets on five consecutive weekends, before the Big Sky Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships are held in Bozeman, Montana. However, athletes will get an early opportunity to compete this Friday, with 50 Grizzlies bussing to Bozeman for the Bobcat Preview.
Â
The meet will be the first of four trips to Bozeman during the indoor season, and Montana's only meet for six weeks, until after the holidays.
Â
Biggest will be the opportunity to get back into competitive form, especially for some of the indoor-only events that haven't seen competition since February 2020. The meet will also serve as a barometer for where athletes are today, and where they hopefully can be in January. It will feature debut performances for the majority of Montana's competitors.
Â
Of the 50 athletes competing on Friday, 22 will be making their collegiate debuts, with another 10 competing in their first indoor meet.
Â
Friday's Bobcat Preview, featuring Montana and Montana State athletes, will begin at 4 p.m. with the throws and jumps (the men's weight throw and women's long jump officially kick things off). Running events will begin with the women's 60-meter hurdles at 5 p.m.
