Quick facts University, Head coach ...

The program is coached by Sean Carlson.[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]

Jenny Barringer is the only athlete on the team to have won a Bowerman Award, with four individual NCAA titles in middle-distance running.[5] The team was coached by Mark Wetmore and his partner Heather Burroughs until his contract was not renewed in 2024.[6]

A 2023 investigation showed that the Colorado track and field program used body composition analysis that harmed a significant number of athletes by exacerbating eating disorders. As part of the team practice, calipers were used to measure adipose tissue on seven different body parts. The practice was found to have negatively impacted women's team members more than men's athletes.[7]
