NEW ORLEANS – The 2025 Sun Belt Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships will be hosted by James Madison University at Sentara Park, the conference office announced on Monday. 
 
The event is scheduled to take place from May 8-10, 2025, in Harrisonburg, Va. This will be the first time that Sentara Park will serve as the host site for the Sun Belt Conference championships, with the Dukes having joined the conference ahead of the 2022-23 campaign. 
 
“We are thrilled to bring the Sun Belt Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships to James Madison for the first time in 2025,” said Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Keith Gill. “While this will be the first Sun Belt Conference championship hosted on JMU’s campus, the Dukes are no strangers to hosting major events. We look forward to the first-class experience they will provide for our student-athletes and fans at Sentara Park next spring.” 

“James Madison has a long history of hosting conference and NCAA postseason competitions in many sports, and we’re excited to host our first Sun Belt Championship in track & field next year,” said JMU Director of Athletics Matt Roan. “Track & field may be the largest conference championship in terms of the total number of participating student-athletes, which in turn impacts our local community with additional guests, exposure and economic benefit. Our staff has already begun preparing and we’re looking forward to hosting a first-class championship experience next year at Sentara Park.”
 
Eight men’s and 11 women’s programs have earned a Sun Belt Outdoor Track & Field title since the championships began in 1992. Louisiana leads the way with eight men’s team championships, while Arkansas State paces the women’s field with nine team championships.
