FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The 2026 NAIA Men's Indoor Track & Field Championship gets underway on Thursday.
Indiana Tech has 23 individual entries plus 3 relays (4×400m, 4×800m, DMR). From the NAIA, "print/jumps depth plus mid‑distance pieces make the Warriors a three‑day scoring threat."
The nation's top NAIA men's programs converge on the Alachua County Sports & Events Center from March 5–7 for the 2026 NAIA Men's Indoor Track & Field Championships, a three‑day showcase featuring deep sprint groups, heavyweight throws, and title‑tilting relays. Entry lists point to balanced contenders across sprints, distance, jumps, throws, multis, and relays, with team hardware likely decided late on Saturday. The meet will feature 647 men competing for titles in their respective events.
The championship will be live streamed on the NAIA Network and the NAIA Channel of the Urban Edge Network for free. For more information on streaming go to
