The Virginia Cavaliers track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Virginia. The Cavaliers compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Charlottesville, Virginia at the Lannigan Field. [3]
The program is coached by Vin Lananna. [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]
The program won its first and only team national title at the 1981 AIAW Indoor Track and Field Championships. [2]
The Cavaliers have had 10 AIAW individual All-Americans finishing in the top six at the AIAW indoor or outdoor championships. [6]
As of 2024 [update] , a total of 40 men and 41 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 (using the modern criteria of top-8 placing regardless of athlete nationality).
