The Utes then return to the Blue Oval for the 116th edition of the Drake Relays (April 23-25) before the squad splits up for the final week of the regular-season at the Robison Invitational (April 29-30) and Desert Heat Classic (May 2).
Â
Arizona plays host to the 2026 Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Championships (May 14-16) to kick off the championships season at Drachman Stadium and will serve as Utah's last chance to run a qualifying time for regionals.
