The Wichita State Shockers track and field team is the track and field program that represents Wichita State University. The Shockers compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the American Athletic Conference. The team is based in Wichita, Kansas at the Cessna Stadium.[2]

The program is coached by Steve Rainbolt.[3] The track and field program officially encompasses four teams, as the NCAA regards men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.[4]

Harold Manning was the Schockers' first NCAA champion and Olympian, setting the 3000 m steeplechase world record at the 1936 United States Olympic trials.[5]

Postseason

As of 2024, a total of 28 men and 13 women have achieved individual first-team All-American status at the men's outdoor, women's outdoor, men's indoor, or women's indoor national championships.[6][7]
