The Fresno State Bulldogs track and field team is the track and field program that represents California State University, Fresno. The Bulldogs compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Pac-12 Conference. The team is based in Fresno, California, at the Warmerdam Field.[2]

The program is coached by Jason Drake.[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]

High jumper Walter Marty was the school's first NCAA individual champion. He won the high jump at the 1934 NCAA Track and Field Championships.[5][6]
