The New Mexico Lobos track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of New Mexico. The Lobos compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mountain West Conference. The team is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the Great Friends of UNM Track Stadium/UNM Soccer Complex.[2]
The program is coached by Darren Gauson.[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]
Middle-distance runner Josh Kerr became the first Lobo to win three NCAA individual titles in 2018.[5]

The Lobos have had 12 AIAW All-Americans finishing in the top six at the AIAW indoor or outdoor championships.[6]
