The West Virginia Mountaineers track and field team is the track and field program that represents West Virginia University. The Mountaineers compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big 12 Conference. The team is based in Morgantown, West Virginia, at the Mylan Track.[2]
The program is coached by Sean Cleary.[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]
The West Virginia men's track and field team began in 1905. Both the indoor and outdoor men's track teams were cut in 2003 along with three other men's sports, leaving only a women's track and field program at the school since then.[5]
Morgan Mossner was the first Mountaineer to earn an NCAA title, winning the indoor 1000 meters in 1972.[6]
As of August 2025[update], a total of 10 men and 22 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).[7][8]
