The Penn State Nittany Lions track and field team is the track and field program that represents Penn State University. The Nittany Lions compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The team is based in State College, Pennsylvania at the Nittany Lion Track.
The program is coached by John Gondak. 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.
Sprinter Barney Ewell is the only Penn State athlete to have won four individual national championships, over the 100 meters and 200 meters in 1940 and 1941.
