Spokane, Washington (August 11, 2022) – The inaugural season for indoor track and field at The Podium powered by STCU was a record breaking year, and has set the pace for the upcoming 2022–2023 indoor season. Spokane Sports has partnered with local collegiate programs to bring back some outstanding meets from inaugural season, with new events in the works too. Washington State University and Whitworth University are two partners who hosted hugely successful meets last year and they’re back for the 2022–2023 season.
 
Also returning this year, our Technical Meet Director Jason Drake and Officials Director Linda Lanker. Jason and Linda bring unmatched expertise and knowledge of indoor track and field and with their help, Spokane Sports is raising the profile of track and field in Spokane.
