The program is coached by Sarah Pease. [3] The track and field program officially encompasses four teams because the NCAA considers men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports. [4]
The men's teams were discontinued following the 2007 season. They were cut as part of an initiative to cut four sports and save US$685,000. [5]
Sprinter Emmett Taylor is the only two-time NCAA champion for the Bobcats, having won the 400 m and 200 m at the 1967 and 1968 outdoor championships respectively. [6] Les Carney was a two-time All-American for the Bobcats and later won the silver medal in the 200 m at the 1960 Summer Olympics. [7]
