BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas A&M track & field head coach Pat Henry announced the 2021 indoor schedule which begins Jan. 16 with the Ted Nelson Invitational at the Gilliam Indoor Stadium.

The 2021 slate features five regular season meets, followed by the SEC Indoor Championships and NCAA Indoor Championships.

The Maroon & White begin with the Ted Nelson Invitational to open the campaign, and host the Aggie Invitational (Jan. 23) and the Charlie Thomas Invitational (Feb. 6).

We have three home meets this year and despite limiting the field to about five schools, all of the meets will field good competition. We will also travel to Texas Tech and Arkansas. We’ll be competing on three of the best tracks in the country, it’s going to be a competitive season.
