There are 100s of universities and colleges to choose from across the USA when it comes to athletics. The main season for track and field is split into two parts: indoor and outdoor. The indoor season typically runs from December through March, the outdoor season usually runs from March through June. The NCAA Championships in track and field usually take place in late February for indoors and June for outdoors. For athletes that are looking to compete internationally this can mean a long season, but the timings work well for those looking to head into the summer months with some times and races under their belts. For endurance athletes Cross Country is considered a separate sport within the US system and is also something that many athletes looking to attend university in America might want to consider. &nbsp;It's an opportunity for extra competition and potentially an avenue for additional recruitment places and scholarships. It's important that the university that you attend has the right mixture of indoor, outdoor and cross country to suit you.
