The Miami RedHawks track and field team is the track and field program that represents Miami University. The RedHawks compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mid-American Conference. The team is based in Oxford, Ohio, at the George L. Rider Track.[2]

The program is coached by Russ Peterson.[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]

Middle-distance runner Charles Shugert became the school's first NCAA champion in 1932 over the two miles distance.[5] In 1986, 800 m runner Karen Bakewell became the first women's national champion, also becoming the first Mid-American Conference women's runner in any discipline to win an NCAA title.[6]

Postseason

As of August 2025, a total of 40 men and 6 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]
