The MIT Women's Track & Field and Cross Country teams are in Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). They are also part of the New England Women's and Men's Conference (NEWMAC). The other schools in the conference are Babson, Clark, Coast Guard, Mount Holyoke, Smith, Springfield, Wheaton, Wellesley, and WPI. The team competes against these schools throughout the season. Additionally, it attends several large invitationals which provide the opportunity to run against schools throughout the region. These meets are predominately attended by Division III teams, but some include Division I and II teams. The team practices every weekday from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. Meets are usually on Saturdays. Cross country practice begins in late August, indoor track in early November, and outdoor track in early March.
