KINGSVILLE, Texas – After three weeks of training without a competition since the outdoor season opener, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Vaqueros track & field team returns to action Friday and Saturday to take on Texas A&M Kingsville's Cactus Cup at Javelina Stadium.
The meet will primarily take place on Saturday outside of three events. Friday's action gets started at 4 p.m. with javelin and hammer throw, and the men's and women's 5,000-meter races will run starting at 7 p.m. Saturday kicks off at 12 p.m. with field events and track events will commence at 3 p.m.
The Vaqueros are familiar with this meet and have had an abundance of success in Kingsville in recent seasons. In 2025, UTRGV sprinters combined to break three meet records at the Cactus Cup in the men's and women's 100-meter dash and men's 200-meter dash.
Competing teams include the hosting Javelinas, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, St. Edward's, Trinity (TX), Our Lady of the Lake, North American, Victoria College, and the C.C.C. Texas Spartans.
