SEATTLE – The final installment of one of the most storied track & field meets in existence comes this week as Washington heads to Boulder, Colo. for the Pac-12 Championships. From Friday through Sunday at Potts Field, the Huskies will battle for conference supremacy, as the men come in as the defending champions for the first time ever.
 
It's the first, and last, Pac-12 meet ever to be held in Boulder, with the elevation sure to be a storyline for the distance events, where the Huskies made history on the men's side in 2023 by winning every individual title from 800-meters up to 10,000-meters.
 
The Pac-12 Networks will televise much of the meet live, including all track finals, plus select field events. Here is the live television schedule and the networks on which the events will air.

Last Year At Pac-12s
Washington made history with its first Pac-12 men's title in program history a year ago at Hilmer Lodge Stadium in Walnut, California. The men broke the 15-year Oregon winning streak by winning a school record seven events, scoring 151 points to hold off second-place USC which scored 137.
 
The UW women also had their best finish in school history, placing third with 85.5 points, and getting a title in the women's pole vault from co-champions Nastassja Campbell and Sara Borton.
 
The men became just the second team in meet history, joining 2003 Stanford, to win every middle and long distance race. Sam Ellis won the 800-meters, Nathan Green won the 1500-meters, Ed Trippas won the steeplechase, and Brian Fay won both the 5000-meters and 10,000-meters in heroic fashion. UW also got wins from Ollie Thorner in the decathlon, and Cass Elliott won his second-straight 400m hurdles title.
 
Not since 1928, the Pacific Coast Conference meet held in Missoula, Montana when UW was coached by Hec Edmundson, had Washington won a conference track title that included teams from California. Washington won some PCC Northern Division titles in the 1930s and 1940s, but the Huskies had never finished better than second since the Pac-12 was first formed as the Athletic Association of Western Universities in 1960.
 
The men's win completed a steady climb under Head Coach Andy Powell, as the Huskies were fourth in his first season in 2019, then third in 2021, second in 2022, and first in 2023. The women's third-place finish was the second top-three finish for the program under Maurica Powell, as the team also tied for third in 2021.
