The University of Washington Indoor Series consist of up to 8 meets at the Dempsey Indoor Arena in Seattle, WA. The track was put in around 2001, and has already become legendary for the performances it produces.

In 2003, retired Georgetown coach Frank Gagliano was quoted as having called Dempsey Indoor “the best indoor track in America,” an opinion echoed by 2004 U.S. indoor 800-meter champion and 2000 Olympian Michael Stember. "I love this track,” Stember told the Seattle Times in 2003. “It mimics running outdoors”. The facility includes a permanent 307-meter MONDO track (six lanes on the straightaway, five on the oval) and a full 100-yard FieldTurf infield equipped to host the shot put, weight throw, long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole vault events. The facility is named for California businessman Neal Dempsey, a 1964 Washington graduate who, along with his wife, Janet, gave $10 million to the University in January of 2001.

So far this season, there has been two meets completed; including the UW Preview and the the UW Open Invite #1. Area high school runners, as well as several top athletes from around the country are gathering in the Pacific Northwest to see just how far, how high, and how fast they can go. Stay tuned here for up to date reports on the top marks, as well as video coverage of the Gerry Lindgren Invitational 5000m on February 11th; where Mohamud Ige (Denver South, CO) and Megan O'Reilly (Mt Spokane, WA) will go after the Indoor High School National Records of 14:29 and 16:43.
