WINTHROP, Mass. – The 2026 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Men's and Women's Indoor Track & Field Championships will take place on Sunday, Feb. 15 at the Boston University Track & Tennis Center. 

The meet is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. with representatives from Colby-Sawyer, Emmanuel, Lasell, Regis, Saint Joseph's (Maine), and Simmons (Women’s) will be competing.

In preparation for Sunday's championship event, the league's five Men’s Indoor Track & Field head coaches conducted a Pre-Championship Poll last week in order of projected finish.

Coming in first with 30 points and all five first-place votes are the three-time reigning champion Saint Joseph's (Maine) Monks as they look to four-peat as they head into Sunday's event as the pre-championship favorites. Emmanuel came in second with 19 points.

Lasell received 14 points with a third-place projection, followed by last year's runner-up Regis (11), and Colby-Sawyer (six) in order to fill out the 4-5 spots.
