The California Golden Bears track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of California, Berkeley. The Golden Bears compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Berkeley, California at the Edwards Stadium.[3]
The program is coached by Robyne Johnson.[4] 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.[5]
Cal won the 1922 NCAA Track and Field Championships, their only NCAA track and field team title.[6] The men originally won the 1970 NCAA University Division Outdoor Track and Field Championships team title, but it was revoked seven months later after Isaac Curtis was controversially deemed academically ineligible.[7]
Triple jumper Sheila Hudson won six NCAA championship titles, the most of any Golden Bear.[8] She is trailed by sprinter Harold Davis with four titles and hammer thrower Camryn Rogers with three.[9][10]
Postseason
