The Rice Owls track and field team is the track and field program that represents Rice University. The Owls compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the American Athletic Conference. The team is based in Houston, Texas at the Wendel D. Ley Track and Holloway Field.[2]
The program is coached by Jon Warren.[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]
Two Rice athletes have gone on to win Olympic medals in track and field, both men's pole vaulters Fred Hansen and David Roberts.[5] A third Rice track and field athlete, Heather McDermid, has also won Olympic medals, but in the eight competition of rowing.[2]
