LA JOLLA, Calif. – UC San Diego first year head coach, Kim Graham-Miller, has announced the Tritons' 2023 spring Track and Field schedule. The schedule consists of 10 different meets with nine taking place in Southern California.
Â
Former Olympic Gold Medalist, Kim Graham-Miller is excited to get started with her first season leading the Tritons. "We are going to the first ever indoor meet for this program. I think it is important to bring something new that will help us start to prepare a little earlier for our outdoor meets," Graham-Miller shared. "The scholar athletes who run indoors will be able to start a new tradition of being the first ones to run indoors and possibly be indoor school record holders. That is an awesome thing."

To kick off the start of the season on Feb. 2, the Tritons travel up to Spokane, Wash. For the WSU Invitational extending to Feb. 5.
