WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The excitement level is through the roof for the Williams College men's indoor track & field team, as the Ephs begin their 2025-26 season on Saturday, Dec. 6, with a pair of meets in Boston.
The team competes in the BU Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener at the Track & Tennis Center and the New Balance Opener at The Track at New Balance.

"I cannot even begin to express how well this team has leveled up since last May," said head coach
Ethan Barron. "The amazing cross country season that our distance squad had epitomizes so much of that. They have given us so much momentum going into this winter track season."
The Ephs are scheduled to compete in 11 meets this winter, including the Division III New England Championship on Feb. 28-March 1 at The Track at New Balance, the AARTFC Indoor Championships on March 6-7 at The Nike Track & Field Center at The Armory in New York and the NCAA Division III Championship on March 13-14 at the Birmingham CrossPlex in Alabama.

"In so many ways, individually and as a team, we are a mix of amazing parts," said Barron. "Individually, I see so many student-athletes who have gotten faster, stronger, more explosive and taken a major step forward in so many ways. Each of them is working to connect all those pieces to assemble a full, complete and explosive performance. That process will take weeks and months of time honing our craft, but we could not be more excited for piecing that puzzle together. Commensurately, each event group on this squad has leveled up with added depth and another year's growth. Every one of those groups is constantly building connections helping sew this entire team into one full, complete and explosive squad. That more than anything is a process any coach would love to be a part of."
