The UTEP Miners track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Texas at El Paso. The Miners compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mountain West Conference. The team is based in El Paso, Texas, at the Kidd Field.[4]
The program is coached by Francesca Green.[5] 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.[6]
In 1986, the track and field and cross country teams were put on probation by the NCAA for three years due to violations in 1983 and 1984 under then-coach Larry Heidebrecht. As part of the probation, UTEP could not compete in NCAA championships for the 1986-87 and 1987-88 seasons, and the men's team also had to vacate its 1983 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships team title. The restrictions were imposed due to $62,150 in cash payments being made to athletes for performances.[7][8] During the probation period, athletes on the team had to request appeals to participate in competitions, and many left altogether.[9]
Postseason
AIAW
The Miners have had 11 AIAW All-Americans finishing in the top six at the AIAW indoor or outdoor championships.[10]
NCAA
As of August 2025, a total of 127 men and 39 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).[11][12]
