The USC Trojans track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Southern California. The Trojans compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The team is based in Los Angeles, California, at the Felix Field and Loker Stadium.[4]
The program is coached by Quincy Watts.[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]
As of 2024[update], the Trojans have had 512 Olympians, including 66 at the 2024 Summer Olympics with track and field being the most represented sport.[7] In 2023, the school named their field after Allyson Felix, who attended USC along with her brother Wes Felix, though Allyson turned professional out of high school and did not compete for the team.[8]
In 2018, Michael Norman became the first athlete from USC to win The Bowerman.[9]
