The program is coached by Lance Bingham.[2] 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.[3]
Runner Sam Chelanga has won the most NCAA titles for the team, winning the 10,000 m and outdoor 5000 m in 2010 and 2011 respectively.[4][5]
