WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The 2023-24 Purdue indoor track & field schedule has been announced, which features one home meet at Lambert Fieldhouse.
A nine-meet regular season will begin in West Lafayette on December 9 before the Big Ten Championships and NCAA Championships conclude the indoor campaign in Geneva, Ohio, and Boston, respectively.
The Boilermakers have three meets within the state of Indiana and two in Illinois. Trips to Arkansas, Kentucky, Michigan and South Carolina also compliment the schedule.
"This is a very good schedule that allows our athletes the opportunity to get some really good competition," Purdue head coach Norbert Elliott said. "We have several weekends where we're splitting our squad up to give everyone the best opportunity to compete and qualify for the National Championships, so that's exciting."
The indoor season commences at home with the Edmonds-Wilt Invitational on Saturday, December 9. The annual event at Lambert Fieldhouse will be free to all fans. The tentative meet schedule has the first event at 10:30 a.m. ET, and the final schedule will be announced closer to December 9.
A trip to Chicago for the Badgers Midwest Invitational opens the new year on January 13. It's the first of two trips to the Second City for the Boilermakers this season and marks the third consecutive year Purdue has competed at the Midwest Invite since the Track & Field Center at Gately Park opened in 2021.
The following weekend, on January 20, Purdue will compete at the Simmons-Harvey Invitational in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Boilermakers are back at the Michigan-hosted event for the second year in a row.
Up next is the first two-day meet of the season, and the first time the team will split up in 2024. From January 26-27, the Old Gold and Black will head to the Lenny-Lyles Invitational in Louisville, Kentucky, and the Razorback Invitational in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Purdue returns to Louisville's indoor meet for the second consecutive year, and the Boilermakers travel to the Razorback Invite for the first time since 2020.
The first of two trips to Notre Dame is for the Meyo Invitational from February 2-3, and the team also will be at ND's Alex Wilson Invite on February 17. Both events are on the schedule for the third time in as many years.
Another split weekend is scheduled for February 9-10, with the Boilermakers going to the Windy City Invitational in Chicago and the Tiger Paw Invitational in Clemson, South Carolina. Like the Midwest Invite, Purdue also participated in the first two editions of the Windy City Invite in 2022 and 2023. The squad will compete at Clemson's meet for the first time since 2019.
The Big Ten Championships are back at the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio, from February 23-24. Spire will host the annual indoor conference championships for the fifth consecutive year and the 11th time in the last 12 seasons.
Boston will host the 2024 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships from March 8-9. The Track at New Balance hosts the national championship meet for the first time since the venue opened in 2022.
