The Syracuse Orange track and field team is the track and field program that represents Syracuse University. The Orange compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Syracuse, New York at the J.S. Coyne Stadium.[2]

The program is coached by Brien Bell and Chris Fox (distance).[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]

History

The women's program was established in 1979-80 and has produced 21 All-Americans, six individual ACC titles and 80 individual BIG EAST championships from 1983 through 2013.[5]

The Orange's last Olympic medalist was Edward O'Brien, who won silver in the 4 × 400 m relay at the 1936 Olympics.[6]

Postseason

As of 2024, a total of 20 men and 12 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).[7][8]
