"I'm looking forward to get the outdoor season started," said Husky head coach J.J. Clark. "We're excited as a coaching staff to get the team going after a successful indoor season."
The Huskies will look to improve on their 2015 outdoor campaign which saw 12 athletes advance to the NCAA East Regional held in Jacksonville, Fla. The program is in search of its first-ever American Athletic Conference outdoor crown after finishing as the runner-up in 2015 during a tight competition at the George J. Family-Sports Complex in Storrs.
Connecticut also opened its season in Orlando a year ago, collecting 15 top-10 finishes in the unscored meet.
