MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Coaches Dean Hayes and Keith Vroman have announced the 2015-16 indoor and outdoor schedule for track and field.

Middle Tennessee's track and field team will start the indoor season with the Vanderbilt Opener on Saturday in Nashville, the first of three indoor events hosted by the Commodores. The Blue Raiders will have six indoor meets in Tennessee, including being the host of the Middle Tennessee Invitational on Feb. 6.

The Conference USA Championships (Feb. 24-25) and NCAA Indoor Championships (March 11-12) will both be held in Birmingham, Alabama, at the conclusion of the regular season.
