COLUMBIA, S.C. (Jan. 20, 2023) – The South Carolina Track & Field squad will return to action this weekend with the 2023 Carolina Challenge hosted at the Carolina Indoor Track & Field Complex. Fans can follow live results and updates of the meet by clicking here.
The 2023 Carolina Challenge will be a two-day event, beginning on Friday (20) and culminating with the 4×400 meter finals on Saturday (21). A total of 31 teams will be competing this weekend, including but not limited to — Coastal Carolina, Furman, Georgia State, North Carolina A&T, South Carolina State, Tennessee, Troy, Wake Forest and Western Carolina.
“I want to see pride out there this weekend,” said South Carolina head coach Curtis Frye. “This is another home meet and I want us to go out and overcome any fears we may have. This week’s meet has more intensity involved with it.
“Think of this week as a quiz and the test will be in a few weeks at Clemson followed by the final exam a few weeks after that in the form of the SEC Championship. You have some of the better teams this weekend with a bigger track meet and more chaos.
“So, this week the student-athletes are earning their rights to travel to New York for next week’s meet. Everything has to lead into the next step.”

There is a $10 fee for any adults wishing to attend the meet. Children that are 17 and under gain entry for $5, while kids 2 and under are free. Students get in free with their Carolina Card and faculty/staff also receive free entry with the addition of three free tickets.
