LAKELAND, Fla. – Head coaches
Matt Levassiur and
Stephanie Bylander of the Florida Southern College men's and women's track teams announced the 2026 indoor and outdoor track schedules Thursday morning. The Moccasins are set to compete in their fourth indoor season as a program and will be entering the second season of outdoor track where they will be competing for a conference championship. The Sunshine State Conference announced prior to the 2024 season, that beginning with the 2024-25 academic year the conference would be recognizing outdoor track as a conference sport. The Florida Southern men's track team took home the inaugural Sunshine State Conference Men's Outdoor Track Championship.
The fourth indoor campaign will once again feature five meets including four at the Alachua County Sports Complex at Celebration Pointe in Gainesville, Fla. The Mocs will open the season tomorrow, Dec. 5 at the Grand Valley State University Holiday Open. The men sent
Christian Giller to the event last season but will send a larger contingent this season including members of the women's team.
