The program is coached by Rosalind Joseph. [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]
Ohio State won their only track and field national team title at the 1929 NCAA Track and Field Championships. Jesse Owens has been called the most accomplished athlete to run for the OSU track team, with a combined eight NCAA Division I Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championships titles across the 100 meters, 200 meters, 220 yards hurdles, and long jump.
