The San Diego State Aztecs track and field team is the track and field program that represents San Diego State University (SDSU). The Aztecs compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mountain West Conference (MW). The team is based at the Aztrack, part of the SDSU Sports Deck.[4]
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.
In May 1992, athletic director Fred Miller announced that the men's track team as well as the men's and women's golf and wrestling teams would be cut for financial reasons. This left only a women's track and field team.[5]
