The program is coached by Stanley Redwine. [5] 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. [6]
The Kansas men won their first national team title at the 1959 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. [7] [8] Karl Salb won the most NCAA individual titles, with six in the shot put from 1969 to 1971. [9]
The track and field program hosts the Kansas Relays annually since 1923. [10] They also participate in the KU-KSU-WSU Triangular since 2015. [11]
