SAN ANTONIO – After multiple successful performances while hosting the UTSA Invitational, the UTSA track & field teams will head up I-35 for the weekend in San Marcos, taking Texas State’s Charles Austin Classic, Friday and Saturday, March 27-28, at the Bobcat Track & Field Stadium.
Competing in the two-day meet in neighboring San Marcos, the Roadrunners will travel 33 performers (16 women, 17 men) to the event – which UTSA is attending for the first time since 2022-23.
The Roadrunners are fresh off opening the outdoor season at home at Park West with the UTSA Invitational, registering eight medal-worthy performances – including three event victories.

On Saturday, discus leads things off at 10 a.m., followed by high jump, shot put and triple jump. Running events start with the 4x100-meter relay at 2:30 p.m., followed by 100/110-meter hurdles, 400-meter, 100-meter, 400-meter hurdles, 800-meter, 200-meter, 4x400-meter relays – closing off the meet with distance as the 1,500-meter is at 7 p.m., on to the 3,000-meter steeplechase and 5,000-meter runs.
