Butler track and field head coach Matt Roe has announced the 2019-20 track and field schedule, which includes the Bulldogs hosting the 2020 Stan Lyons Invitational in March.
 
"As always, we put together the most competitive schedule possible that fits the needs of our student-athletes," said Roe. "This year is no exception. Our goal is to prepare our group for the Big East Conference, East Regional, and NCAA Championships. We are coming off a record breaking year and we believe with the schedule in front of us we will continue to ascend to new levels in 2020."
 
On the Indoor Track
Butler opens the indoor portion of their schedule on Dec. 6 at the Blue and Gold Invitational in South Bend, Ind. The Bulldogs will compete in seven events in Indiana with six events taking place in South Bend and Bloomington, and one in West Lafayette.
 
Outside the state of Indiana, the Bulldogs will compete in the Jim Green Invitational in Lexington, Ky. on January 10 and the Husky Classic in Seattle, Wash. on Jan. 31. At the University of Washington last season, Euan Makepeace ran the 5000-meter with a time of 14:01.72, putting him at fourth all-time in the Butler record book for the indoor event.
 
The BIG EAST Indoor Championships begin March 1 at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio followed by the NCAA Championships on March 13 in Albuquerque, N.M. Last season the men placed fourth and the women fifth- their best finish in program history - at the BIG EAST Championship.
 
Outdoor Season
The Bulldogs will travel coast-to-coast during the outdoor portion of spring, competing in California, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Illinois, and Indiana. Butler opens the outdoor season on March 21 when they host the Stan Lyons Invitational. In 2019, the Bulldogs won eight events at the home meet and set several personal bests.
 
The Bulldogs will face one of the most competitive outdoor fields early on when they travel to the Raleigh Relays hosted by North Carolina State on March 27. Just two weeks later on April 2, Butler will compete against another elite field, this time on the west coast, at the Stanford Invitational.
 
The Bulldogs return to California later in March to compete at the Mt. SAC Relays and the Bryan Clay Invitational. The two meets overlap, spanning from April 15-18. The Bulldogs competed in the Bryan Clay Invitational last season and broke two school records: Wade Walder in the decathlon (7,355) and Lily Hess in the 200-meter (24.69).
 
Butler will compete at the University of Louisville and one more Indiana University meet to close out the season before heading to Philadelphia, Penn. for the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships on May 8. Last season the men finished fifth and the women took sixth at the conference meet.
 
The Bulldogs will return to Lexington, Ky. for the second time in the season for the NCAA East Regional, followed by the NCAA Championships on June 10 in Austin, Texas.
