The Wyoming Cowboys and Cowgirls track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Wyoming. The Cowboys and Cowgirls compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mountain West Conference. The team is based in Laramie, Wyoming, at the Louis S. Madrid Sports Complex.
The program is coached by Bryan Berryhill. 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 Paul Carlin, who later became the United States Postmaster General, was the university's first All-American finisher. Wesley Maiyo was the school's first national champion, which he did over 1000 meters at the 1974 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships.
