Prairie View A&M track and field opens a key early-season test this weekend at the New Mexico Team Open, a two-day meet running Jan. 30-31 at the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Competition begins at 3 p.m. Mountain on Friday and resumes at 9:45 a.m. Saturday, giving the Panthers a full slate of opportunities to post qualifying marks and measure up against a deep collegiate field at altitude.

The indoor setting and elevation in Albuquerque are expected to provide fast conditions on the track and a competitive environment in the field events. For Prairie View A&M, the meet serves as an important checkpoint in the early stages of the indoor season, with athletes aiming to solidify conference standing and build momentum toward championship meets later in the spring. The two-day format also allows the staff to see how athletes handle rounds, recovery, and multiple events across the weekend.

On the track, several Panthers enter the meet as key athletes to watch. With a balanced group across sprints, middle distance, distance, and field events, Prairie View A&M enters the New Mexico Team Open looking for progress more than headlines. The Panthers will seek to convert training gains into measurable results, refine event strategies in a high-level environment, and leave Albuquerque with clearer answers about lineup options and competitive readiness as the indoor campaign continues.

The meet will have live results and will be live streamed on FloTrack.
