After a year away from the track, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field have rewritten the record books as both programs forge ahead toward their respective Atlantic 10 Championships next month.
Each program raced a five-meet regular season, breaking five GW records on the men’s side and five program records on the women’s side. After missing out on an outdoor track and field season last year, head coach Terry Weir said both programs are “grateful” to be competing again.

With only two meets on the docket this season, men’s and women’s cross country will enter their respective Atlantic 10 Championships with half the competition time as a typical season.
The Colonials kicked off the 2020-21 season Feb. 5, almost one year after finishing their last races at the A-10 Indoor Track and Field Championships March 1, 2020. Traditionally a fall sport, the squads were forced to merge the cross country and outdoor track and field seasons last spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
