Grand Forks, N.D. – The North Dakota Fighting Hawks track and field program is preparing for their next indoor competition by heading south to Brookings, South Dakota. This marks a return visit to South Dakota State University, where the team will participate in the Jim Emmerich Alumni meet.
The indoor season has already seen the Fighting Hawks in action at several events. Just last week, on January 16, 2026, they resumed competition at the Bison Team Cup. Earlier, on December 10, 2025, the team traveled to Fargo for the Dakota Alumni Classic. In preseason polls released on December 3, 2025, North Dakota was picked second and fourth in the Summit League predictions.

No specific details on the event schedule or expected outcomes were provided, but the trip underscores the program's commitment to a rigorous indoor campaign.
