The program is coached by John Gondak.[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]
Sprinter Barney Ewell is the only Penn State athlete to have won four individual national championships, over the 100 meters and 200 meters in 1940 and 1941.[5]
