The program is coached by Aaron Fox. [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]

UTSA sprinter Leonard Byrd qualified for the 2001 World Championships in Athletics in the 4 × 400 m relay, winning the gold medal before being disqualified due to his teammate doping. Byrd was considered a hopeful for the 1996 Olympic team. [5] [6]
