PISCATAWAY, N.J. - The Scarlet Knights resumes the 2025-26 season in the New Year, a schedule that will test them across some of the nation's most competitive stages.
Rutgers got the season started with a select group of distance runners traveling to Boston for the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener. The meet saw Lucas Reguinho and Kelsey O'Neil break the men's and women's indoor 5,000-meter school records, respectively.
The Scarlet Knights return several top performers from a year ago, including Charlee Crawford and Sincere Robinson who were each named to the Big Ten Indoor Athletes to Watch list.
Rutgers will continue the indoor season with back-to-back meets in Philadelphia, first at the Penn Select (Jan.10), followed by the Quaker Invitational (Jan. 17). The Scarlet Knights will compete in a split weekend with members of the squad traveling to Boston for the Scarlet and White Invitational (Jan. 24) and the Hokie Invitational (Jan. 24) in Blacksburg, Va. They return to familiar territory in Philadelphia for the Penn Invitational (Jan. 30) and head to New York to host the Scarlet Knights Open (Feb. 6).
From there, the Scarlet Knights continue to build their momentum at the Valentine Invitational (Feb. 13) in Boston, followed by a trip to Fayetteville, Ark., for the Tyson Invitational (Feb. 13-14). The indoor stretch concludes on a championship stage at the Big Ten Championships (Feb. 27-28) in Indianapolis, Ind. The NCAA Championships conclude the indoor season back in Arkansas on March13-14.
With winter behind them, the team transitions to the outdoor season, beginning with warm-weather competitions in Florida at the USF Alumni Invitational (March 20-21) in Tampa and the Miami Invitational. The group splits again the following weekend to participate in the Raleigh Relays (March 26-28) and UCF Knights Invitational (March 27-28).
The Scarlet Knights are back North for the Sam Howell Invitational (April 4) in Princeton, N.J. The Scarlet Knights then return to their home track for the Rutgers Relays (April 11) in Piscataway. Rutgers travels West for the Bryan Clay Invitational (April 16-18) in Azusa, Calif., before returning East for the IC4A/ECAC Championships (April 17-19) in Fairfax, Va.
Next up are the historic Penn Relays (April 23-25) in Philadelphia, followed by the Larry Ellis Invitational (May 1-2) in Princeton. A trip to Baton Rouge, La. for the LSU Invitational (May 2) closes out the regular outdoor season before the Big Ten Championships (May 15-17) in Lincoln, Neb. The NCAA East First Round will take place in Lexington, Ky, followed by the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore., where Hayward Field sets the backdrop for a highly competitive finale. Rutgers sent a program-record eight Scarlet Knights to last year's NCAA Championships.
