Seawolves' Track and Field expands to include indoor season

UAA Athletic Director Steve Cobb announced on Friday that the track & field program will add an indoor season for the first time in 2013. Led by head coach Michael Friess, the Seawolves will compete in the first of three regular-season indoor meets at the Washington Invitational, Jan. 25-26 in Seattle, leading up to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championships in February and the NCAA Championships in early March.

"Obviously we're very excited to make the indoor season part of our competitive schedule," said Friess. "Having the chance to compete in more championship events and an opportunity at more team and individual titles, it benefits not only our current student-athletes, but also our ability to recruit quality young people in the future."


UAA added men's and women's outdoor track & field as a full-time sport in 2005 and has grown into a top-20 contender, including finishes of 9th place by the men and 11th by the women at the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championships.
