ORLANDO – For the second consecutive season, and the third time during the Dana Boone era, UCF track and field’s 4x400-meter relay squad has secured a trip to the 2026 NCAA Indoor Championships.

2026 NCAA Indoor Championship Qualifiers

The team secured its qualifying mark with a time of 3:29.21 at the Tyson Invitational on Feb. 14, 2026, at the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The NCAA Indoor Championships, set for March 13, will be held on the same track.

UCF finished fourth at the Tyson Invitational while breaking the program record, surpassing the previous mark set almost exactly one year earlier at the same meet. The 3:29.21 performance currently ranks 14th in Division I.

The momentum continued at the Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships this past weekend, where the group posted a 3:32.85 to place fifth. The finish capped the championships on a strong note, adding one final podium performance for the Black and Gold.

One of the final events of the weekend, the squad will take the track on Saturday, March 14, at 6:40 PM. The official schedule and start lists for the event will be posted on Wednesday, March 11, on the NCAA website.
