They open the season at the Penn Opener from December 4-5, the Quaker Invite on January 16, and the Penn Classic from February 5-6. At the Penn Opener last season, Lauren Leath broke the program record in the 600-meter run with a time of 1:32.46.
UD will also compete in the Penn State National Open from January 29-30, as well as the David Hemery Valentine Invitational, hosted by Boston University, on February 13.

The CUSA Championships will take place from February 26-27, hosted by Liberty for the second-straight season. Delaware had two all-conference selections at last year's meet in its inaugural season in the conference.Â
