The program is coached by Joey Woody.[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]
Ed Gordon has won the most individual NCAA titles of any Hawkeye athlete, with 3 in the long jump.[5]
