CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia director of track & field and cross country/associate athletics director of administration Vin Lananna announced the UVA men’s and women’s track and field team’s 2020 indoor schedules today (Jan. 3).  
 
The Cavaliers will compete in six regular-season events over a two-month stretch. The schedule opens at the Virginia Tech Invitational (Jan. 17-18) before the Cavaliers make a return trip to Blacksburg a week later for the Hokie Invitational (Jan. 24-25).
 
In February, Virginia will head to the Navy Invitational II (Feb. 1) before returning to Virginia Tech for the Doc Hale Elite Meet (Feb. 7-8).
