The program is coached by 'A Havahla Haynes.^[5] 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.^[6]

The men's teams were cut in 2004 due to budget constraints and to comply with Title IX.^[7] The cut was controversial as the team returned the defending NCAA discus champion Hannes Hopley.^[8]
