Following the team
The indoor season runs December through February; the two home meets are on the main floor of Ironclad Fieldhouse, which has a 60-meter straightaway but no oval, so distance races happen on the road. Dates are on the winter 2026–27 schedule; the outdoor season at Millwright Stadium posts in January.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every athlete on this women’s track & field roster is invented — names, numbers, hometowns, heights, class years and majors — as are the coaches and staff; no real student-athlete is listed or described, and the roster belongs to no real team.
