College track and field team
For information on all Southern Methodist University sports, see
SMU Mustangs.
The SMU Mustangs track and field team is the track and field program that represents Southern Methodist University. The Mustangs compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in University Park, Texas at the Washburne Soccer and Track Stadium.[4]
The program is coached by 'A Havahla Haynes.[5] 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.[6]
The men's teams were cut in 2004 due to budget constraints and to comply with Title IX.[7] The cut was controversial as the team returned the defending NCAA discus champion Hannes Hopley.[8]
Postseason
As of 2024[update], a total of 63 men and 23 women have achieved individual first-team All-American status at the Division I men's outdoor, women's outdoor, men's indoor, or women's indoor national championships.[9][10]
