The USC men's and women's track and field teams will begin the indoor season at the Washington Indoor Preview Meet on Jan. 18 in Seattle, Washington. The meet is set to begin at 8 a.m.

The Trojans are expected to place more emphasis on the indoor season than in the past and it all begins this weekend. USC is expected to compete in five regular season meets, as well as the MPSF Championships and the NCAA Indoor Championships, this year hosted by New Mexico in Albuquerque, N.M. on March 14-15.

"We are going to try to place as high as possible at the Indoor NCAA Championships with both our men's and women's teams. That is the goal," said USC Director of Track and Field Caryl Smith Gilbert.
