The Ball State Cardinals track and field team is the track and field program that represents Ball State University. The Cardinals compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mid-American Conference. The team is based in Muncie, Indiana, at the Briner Sports Complex.
The program is coached by Adrian Wheatley. 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.
The men's teams were eliminated following the 2003 season for budgetary reasons.
High jumper Charity Hufnagel is the school's most recent national champion after winning the 2023 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The school's first national championship was by men's high jumper Darrell Jones in 1931.
