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.
The program is coached by Russ Peterson. 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.
Middle-distance runner Charles Shugert became the school's first NCAA champion in 1932 over the two miles distance. 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.
Postseason , 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).
