The Louisville Cardinals track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Louisville. The Cardinals compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Louisville, Kentucky at the Cardinal Track Stadium.[2]
The program is coached by Joe Franklin.[3] The track and field program officially encompasses four teams, as the NCAA regards men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.[4]
D'Ana McCarty was Louisville's first repeat NCAA champion, winning the weight throw for distance at the 2009 and 2010 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships.[5]
As of 2024[update], a total of 21 men and 13 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.[6][7]
