The program is coached by Eric Mobley (men) and Elvis Forde (women).[3] The track and field program officially encompasses four teams, as the NCAA regards men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.[4] In 2014, the Temple Athletics board eliminated the men's track and field team but kept men's cross country running.[5]
Travis Mahoney, who finished 5th at the 2019 Pan American Games, was called "the best track and field athlete in school history".[6]
