The Buffalo Bulls track and field team is the track and field program that represents University at Buffalo. The Bulls compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mid-American Conference. The team is based in Buffalo, New York, at the UB Stadium.
The program is coached by Vicki Mitchell. 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.
Shot putter Jon Jones earned the first NCAA Division I title for the Bulls by winning the 2015 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. He became the university's first national champion in any sport. The team's coach Vicki Mitchell was a competitive distance runner before joining as an assistant coach, eventually being promoted to the head role after 15 years.
