The Buffalo Bulls track and field team is the track and field program that represents University at Buffalo. The Bulls compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mid-American Conference. The team is based in Buffalo, New York, at the UB Stadium.[2]

The program is coached by Vicki Mitchell.[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]

Shot putter Jon Jones earned the first NCAA Division I title for the Bulls by winning the 2015 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships.[5] He became the university's first national champion in any sport.[6] The team's coach Vicki Mitchell was a competitive distance runner before joining as an assistant coach, eventually being promoted to the head role after 15 years.[7][8]

Postseason

As of August 2025, a total of 4 men and 1 women have achieved individual first-team All-American status for the team 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).[9][10]
