The Washington Huskies track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Washington. The Huskies compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The team is based in Seattle, Washington, at the Husky Track.
The program is coached by Maurica Powell (director) and Andy Powell (head coach). 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.
Scott Neilson won seven NCAA championship titles for the Huskies in the hammer throw and weight throw during the 1970s.
