The North Carolina Tar Heels track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina at the Carolina Track & Field Complex. [2]
The program is coached by Chris Miltenberg. [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]
Laura Gerraughty is the only Tar Heel to have won four individual NCAA titles, which she accomplished in the shot put from 2003 to 2006. [5]
As of 2024 [update] , a total of 70 men and 49 women have achieved individual first-team All-American status at the Division I men's outdoor, women's outdoor, men's indoor, or women's indoor national championships. [6] [7]
