The program is coached by Ed Beathea.[4] 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.[5]
The team won the 1932 NCAA Track and Field Championships. Derek Drouin is the only Hoosier athlete to have won five individual NCAA titles.[6]
