LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville track and field teams begin the 2022-23 indoor season on Saturday at the Commonwealth College Opener. The meet will be held at the Norton Healthcare Sports and Learning Center and is hosted by the Kentucky Track and Cross Country Coaches Association.
"Saturday's competition is an exciting opportunity for our students and a tremendous evaluation tool for our coaching staff," said head coach Dale Cowper. "I'm excited to see this group get our indoor season started this weekend."
In addition to Louisville, the field will be made up largely of colleges located in Kentucky and the surrounding areas including Bellarmine, Kentucky, and Northern Kentucky.
The University of Texas will also compete on Saturday following the 2021-22 indoor season in which their men were crowned the NCAA indoor champions for the first time in school history and their women finished second nationally for their best finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships since 2014.
Doors to the facility will open at 9:00 a.m., while track events begin at 10:00 a.m. with the 60-meter hurdles preliminaries. The rest of the meet will run on a rolling schedule. Admission to the meet will cost $15.35, and parking in two surface lots provided by the facility will be available for $5.

The Cardinals return seven All-ACC Indoor honorees in Trey Allen, Katherine Coffey, Luke Nichols, Synclair Savage, Sterling Warner-Savage, Aliyah Welter, and Jeremiah Willis.
For the women, Savage is set to compete after earning All-ACC First Team honors in the long jump with a third-place finish, leaping 6.22m (20' 5"), while Welter finished fourth in the pole vault at the 2022 ACC Indoor Championships with a mark of 4.31m (14' 1.75").
On the men's side, Warner-Savage begins his title defense after winning the 60m dash in 6.64 at the 2022 ACC Indoor Championships. Nichols and Allen also return to the Cardinals after placing second and third respectively in the high jump at the ACC Championships, both clearing a final height of 2.17m (7' 1.5").
Allen and Warner-Savage also competed at the 2022 NCAA Indoor Championships, both garnering USTFCCA All-American honors. Allen finished eighth in the high jump with a clearance of 2.20m (7' 2.5"), which tied an indoor personal-best, while Warner-Savage earned tenth place in the 60m dash at the national meet in 6.61.
