The Kansas State Wildcats track and field team is the track and field program that represents Kansas State University. The Wildcats compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big 12 Conference. The team is based in Manhattan, Kansas, at the R.V. Christian Track.[2]
The program is coached by Travis Geopfert.[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]
Long and triple jumper Kenny Harrison and high jumper Scott Sellers are the only two Kansas State athletes to have won three individual NCAA track and field titles.[5][6] Kansas State also competes in the KU-KSU-WSU Triangular since 2015.[7]
AIAW
The Wildcats have had 15 AIAW individual All-Americans finishing in the top six at the AIAW indoor or outdoor championships.[8]
NCAA
As of August 2025[update], a total of 85 men and 67 women have achieved individual first-team All-American status at the Division I men's outdoor, women's outdoor, men's indoor, or women's indoor national championships (using the modern criteria of top-8 placing regardless of athlete nationality).[9][10]
