Prairie View A&M women's track and field heads to elevation this weekend for an early-season measuring stick as the Panthers travel to the New Mexico Team Open at the Albuquerque Convention Center, set for Jan. 30-31. The two-day meet, which begins at 3 p.m. MST Friday and resumes at 9:45 a.m. MST Saturday, offers the Panthers a fast 200-meter banked track, altitude-assisted marks and a deep Division I field as the indoor campaign builds toward championship season.

The Albuquerque venue, a regular host for major collegiate and professional meets, should provide Prairie View A&M athletes with a chance to chase qualifying marks and season bests across the board. With live results available throughout the weekend and a live stream on FloTrack, the meet gives the Panthers broader visibility while testing how the roster stacks up against regional and national competition in a neutral-site environment.

For Prairie View A&M's sprinters, hurdlers, jumpers, and throwers, the New Mexico Team Open shapes up as a valuable benchmark. The banked layout and typically strong sprint fields in Albuquerque often produce fast prelims and finals, setting up key head-to-head matchups that can clarify pecking order before conference championships.
