The Stanford Cardinal track and field team is the track and field program that represents Stanford University. The Cardinal compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Stanford, California at the Cobb Track and Angell Field.[3]
The program is coached by J. J. Clark.[4] 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.[5]
The men's team most recently won the 2000 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships in large part due to their distance runners.[6][7]
