FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. – The Nova Southeastern Track team is set to kick off its 2023 campaign at St. Thomas University. Head Coach Bryan Hagopian looks to build off an impressive cross-country season that featured a national qualifier.  

“This meet is kind of a rust buster and we’re planning on using this meet as more of a hard workout. Getting things ready for our big meet at the University of Tampa next weekend, where we will really open up and face a handful of Division one schools and conference opponents,” said Hagopian. “I’m not going into this meet with high expectations as far as times go for our athletes. Tampa should be a meet where we could possibly see school records and personal bests.” 

The Sharks start their season at the STU Opener on Feb. 18, in Miami Gardens, Fla. NSU will then travel to Tampa to compete in the Tampa Spartans Classic on Mar. 3. Following the Tampa meet, Nova Southeastern will compete at the Spring Break Night Meet on 3/14. The Sharks will conclude the month of March at the Spikes Classic, hosted by Embry Riddle, on 3/31.

In April, NSU will compete in three meets, starting the month with two separate meets on 4/7-8, traveling to both Lee (TN.) and the University of Miami. The Sharks will then go on a two-week hiatus before heading to Jacksonville on 4/28 for the UNF Invitational.   

The 2023 regular season concludes in Cleveland, TN., with NSU making its second trip to compete at Lee. The NCAA National Championship is scheduled for May 25-27 in Pueblo, Colorado.
