KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has officially announced final rosters and entry lists for the 2026 Men's and Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championship. The performance lists were released on Wednesday of this week, one week prior to the start of the competition.
The Marian men's and women's track and field teams have over 40 combined athletes entered to compete in next week's championship, as the Knights aim to complete a full season championship sweep, and win the outdoor championships after both programs won the NAIA Indoor National Titles in March. The men are ranked second in the NAIA and the women are ranked fourth, both good omens as the team aims to bring home another trophy this season.
