Track & Field heads to Notre Dame and Boston for first meets

SOUTH BEND, Ind. / BOSTON, Mass. – DePaul track and field launches its 2025 indoor campaign this weekend with student-athletes competing at both the Blue & Gold Invitational (Notre Dame) and the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener (Boston University), Dec. 5-6.

At Notre Dame's Loftus Sports Center, action begins Friday at 12 p.m. CT with the jumps, throws, and pole vault, followed by track events starting at 1:30 p.m. CT. Meanwhile, in Boston, two Blue Demons will race Saturday at one of the nation's premier early-season meets held at the BU Track and Tennis Center, a World Athletics–sanctioned facility that annually draws top competitors.

DePaul returns several record holders poised to continue their success:

Demetrius Rolle, the BIG EAST 60-meter champion, owns the program's indoor 60-meter dash record (6.70) and was part of the record-setting 4x100m relay (45.40) in 2025.
Jaiah Hopf, the reigning BIG EAST triple jump champion, set both the indoor (13.03m) and outdoor (13.26m) school records in 2025.
Sade Miller, a three-time BIG EAST champion, captured the 60-meter titles both indoors and outdoors while helping DePaul's 4x100m relay (45.40) to a conference crown and school record in 2025.
