LUBBOCK, Texas — Colorado track and field returns to the Big 12 Indoor Track & Field Championships this Friday and Saturday at the Sports Performance Center in Lubbock, Texas, marking its first appearance in the event since 2011. After more than a decade in the Pac-12, which did not sponsor an indoor championship, the Buffaloes will once again compete for conference titles.
Colorado's highest finishes in the Big 12 were second place for the men in 1999 and third place for the women in 1997.
Texas Tech University will host the 2025 Big 12 Indoor Track & Field Championships, with competition beginning at 9 a.m. MT for the multi-events. Field and running events will start at 2 p.m. MT on Friday. On Saturday, the multi-events begin at 9 a.m. MT, followed by field events at noon MT and running events at 1 p.m. MT. The championships will be streamed live on ESPN+. James Westling and John Nownes will announce the evening sessions.
All 16 women's teams will compete for the championship title, while 13 men's teams will participate. UCF, Utah and West Virginia only sponsor women's track and field programs.
Colorado will send 38 student-athletes, 22 men and 16 women, along with four relay teams competing in 11 events.
