The Cortland men's outdoor track and field team sent a majority of its competitors to the Moravian College Coach P Open, although the Red Dragons also had throwers competing at Nazareth's Roc City Classic and some distance runners at the Bucknell Bison Outdoor Classic. None of the three events featured team scoring. Cortland posted six ECAC qualifying efforts at Moravian and one at Bucknell.

The Red Dragons are scheduled to host the Cortland Classic Friday and Saturday, April 17-18.
