The 49th Season marks an exciting return to indoor competition following Seasons 47 and 48, which took place outdoors due to the pandemic.

At the finals, participating athletes can compete for more than 100 academic scholarships worth $2,000, $1,000, and $500 for first, second, and third place, respectively. These scholarships are awarded by title sponsor, Colgate-Palmolive.

Colgate Women’s Games helps girls and women advance their brighter, healthier futures by encouraging them to be active on the track, in the classroom and beyond. By empowering competitors to prioritize athletics and education, Colgate Women’s Games has supported countless girls and women with educational scholarships to help pay for tuition thanks to the generous support of title sponsor Colgate-Palmolive.

“Colgate Women’s Games has long been looking forward to returning to the indoor track and field season and could not be more excited to officially open registration for the 49th Season,” said Cheryl Toussaint, world-class track champion and Meet Director, Colgate Women’s Games. “Year after year, I have witnessed how Colgate Women’s Games continues to make a difference in the lives of young athletes by teaching lessons about hard work, perseverance, productivity, and community – and by investing in them so they may pursue a quality education. I have benefitted as a former competitor myself. I’m looking forward to welcoming all returning athletes, new athletes, and their families, friends, coaches and fans back to the track this winter.”
