The Clemson Tigers track and field team is the track and field program that represents Clemson University. The Tigers compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Clemson, South Carolina at the Rock Norman Track & Field Complex. [2]
The program is coached by Mark Elliott and Vicky Pounds (distance). [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]
Brianna Rollins-McNeal won the 2013 women's The Bowerman after establishing collegiate records in the 60 m hurdles and 100 m hurdles. She is the only Clemson athlete to win the award. [5]
In 2021, plans were announced to discontinue the men's track and cross country teams. [6] After backlash, the plans were walked back five months later. [7] Michael Green has the most individual NCAA titles of any Clemson track and field athlete, with four over the sprints. [8]
The Tigers have had one AIAW All-American finishing in the top six at the AIAW indoor or outdoor championships. [9]
