The Nevada Wolf Pack track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Nevada, Reno. The Wolf Pack compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mountain West Conference. The team is based in Reno, Nevada, at the Mackay Stadium.
The program is coached by Shantel Twiggs. 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 track and field team was founded just after World War I. In 1992, javelin thrower Kamy Keshmiri became the school's first three-time NCAA champion.
Following the 1993 season, the men's team was cut due to budget cuts. The men's teams had a US$200,000 budget.
Postseason , a total of 11 men and 4 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).
