The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders track and field team is the track and field program that represents Middle Tennessee State University. The Blue Raiders compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Conference USA. The team is based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, at the Dean Hayes Track and Soccer Field.[2]
The program is coached by Keith Vroman.[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]
Triple jumper Barry McClure was the first multiple-time NCAA champion for the Blue Raiders. He was said to have started a dynasty of triple and long jumpers at the program.[5]
As of August 2025[update], a total of 32 men and 10 women have achieved individual first-team All-American status for the team 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).[6][7]
