Ohio Bobcats track and field

The Ohio Bobcats track and field team is the track and field program that represents Ohio University. The Bobcats compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mid-American Conference. The team is based in Athens, Ohio, at the Goldsberry Track.

The program is coached by Sarah Pease. 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 teams were discontinued following the 2007 season. They were cut as part of an initiative to cut four sports and save US$685,000.

Sprinter Emmett Taylor is the only two-time NCAA champion for the Bobcats, having won the 400 m and 200 m at the 1967 and 1968 outdoor championships respectively. Les Carney was a two-time All-American for the Bobcats and later won the silver medal in the 200 m at the 1960 Summer Olympics.

Postseason

, a total of 17 men and 3 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).
