Tickets
All-session passes are available for $15 for adults and $10 for youth. Single-day admission is $10 for adults and $7 for youth.
A Chance to Qualify
Student-athletes must have earned regional-qualifying marks in their respective events to participate in the NCAA regional meet, which, in turn, provides student-athletes the opportunity to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships scheduled for June 7-10 in Sacramento, Calif. Student-athletes have the opportunity to earn NCAA automatic-qualifying marks in the 10,000 meters and the decathlon during the regular season and are not required to post qualifying marks at a regional meet. The top five finishers in each event at the regional meet qualify for participation in the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The NCAA may also award a minimum of five at-large bids in each event for the national championship meet
Texas to Compete in 13 Events
Texas qualified student-athletes for competition in 13 events. Notably, senior Trey Hardee (Birmingham, Ala.) and junior Donovan Kilmartin (Eagle, Idaho) have already qualified for NCAA participation in the decathlon.
