The Cincinnati Bearcats track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Cincinnati. The Bearcats compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big 12 Conference. The team is based in Cincinnati, Ohio, at the Gettler Stadium.[2]

The program is coached by Susan Seaton.[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]

Annette Echikunwoke was the team's first individual national champion. Echikunwoke won the weight throw at the 2017 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships and later won a silver medal in the hammer throw at the 2024 Olympics.[5][6]

Postseason

[edit]

As of August 2025, a total of 13 men and 10 women have achieved individual first-team All-American status for the team 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]
