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 Conference. The team is based in Wichita, Kansas at the Cessna Stadium.
The program is coached by Steve Rainbolt. 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.
Harold Manning was the Schockers' first NCAA champion and Olympian, setting the 3000 m steeplechase world record at the 1936 United States Olympic trials.
Postseason , 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.
