Mountain Pacific Sports Federation indoor champs moves to The Podium after 18 years at Dempsey...

SPOKANE--After a few years of rumors and rumblings, particularly among the Pac-12 schools that were part of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, the MPSF announced that the 2022 indoor track and field championships will be contested in Spokane at The Podium (photo courtesy MPSF), after an 18-year run at the University of Washington's Dempsey Indoor.

The conference announced that the meet will be held at The Podium for the next three years, starting with the 2022 edition on February 18-19th.

“MPSF Championship events play a major role for teams competing in our eleven sponsored sports,” said MPSF executive director Foti Mellis. 

“Our commitment to creating an exceptional student-athlete experience has resulted in an opportunity for our talented track and field athletes to compete at The Podium – a true world-class facility. The MPSF is grateful for this partnership and the shared desire to promote indoor track and field.  We also look forward to engaging with the greater Spokane community. They are gracious, hospitable hosts, and the textbook definition of sports enthusiasts.”

The 2022 MPSF Indoor Track and Field Championship is scheduled to be comprised of 15 teams, 10 for women and five for men, across 10 universities from members of the Big West and West Coast Conferences.

There is movement within several Pac-12 schools to start its own invitational indoor meet. That said, the conference currently does not sponsor indoor track & field.
