Vanderbilt Track and Field Ready for SEC Indoor Championships

Vanderbilt University’s track and field team is gearing up for the SEC Indoor Track & Field Championships. The event runs from Thursday, February 26, to Saturday, February 28, at the R.A. “Murray” Fasken ’38 Indoor Track in College Station, Texas.

The Commodores just wrapped up a solid regular season and hold high rankings in several events. This championship should be a treat for track and field fans.

Vanderbilt’s Stellar Regular Season Performance

Vanderbilt closed out the indoor regular season by hosting the Music City Challenge in Nashville. Fifty teams showed up, and the Commodores made the most of it.

Over two days, the team broke five school records and added 20 marks to the program’s all-time top 10. That’s no small feat.

Notable Performances and Records

Freshman Janie Ford turned heads by setting a Vanderbilt record in the 200 meters—she clocked a blazing 23.37 seconds and won the event. It was her third straight meet with a new school record, which says a lot about her potential.

Vanderbilt athletes also swept both the invite and open sections of the long and high jumps. Their dominance in these events really stood out.

Looking Back: 2025 SEC Indoor Championships

At last year’s SEC Indoor Track & Field Championships, the Commodores put up three scoring performances. The team broke one school record and added six marks to the all-time top 10.

Top Performers from Last Year

Marta Sivina finished fourth in the pentathlon with a personal-best score of 4,174 points, the second-best in program history. Devyn Parham came in seventh, racking up 3,963 points—the fourth-highest score for Vanderbilt.

The distance medley relay team scored for the second year in a row and broke the school record with a time of 11:13.61.

Current Rankings and Expectations

Vanderbilt sits at No. 41 in the USTFCCCA DI National Track & Field Rating Index. They’re sixth in the South Region, which honestly reflects how strong they’ve looked all season.

Several event squads are ranked among the nation’s top 10:

• 60-meter hurdles: Third
• Long jump: Fifth
• Triple jump: Sixth
• 400 meters: Seventh

That kind of depth and versatility makes Vanderbilt a tough opponent across multiple events.
