College track and field team
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Notre Dame . The Fighting Irish compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference . The team is based in Notre Dame, Indiana at the Notre Dame Track and Field Stadium .[ 2]
The program is coached by Matt Sparks .[ 3] 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.[ 4]
Olympic bronze medallist Molly Seidel has the most individual NCAA titles of any Notre Dame athlete, with three over the 3000 m , 5000 m , and 10,000 m from 2015 to 2016.[ 5]
Postseason
As of 2024[update] , a total of 93 men and 31 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.[ 6] [ 7]
