The TCU Horned Frogs track and field team is the track and field program that represents Texas Christian University. The Horned Frogs compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big 12 Conference. The team is based in Fort Worth, Texas, at the Lowdon Track and Field Complex.
The program is coached by Khadevis Robinson. 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.
Jamaican sprinter Ray Stewart won five NCAA individual titles for the Horned Frogs from 1987 to 1989. In 2022, TCU coach Khadevis Robinson replaced Darryl Anderson, who had previously coached the programs for 18 seasons but was fired.
In 2005, the TCU track and field teams were found to have violated NCAA rules. The violations included unauthorized athlete payments and academic fraud, as an assistant coach was found to have taken a final exam and purchased essays on behalf of a student-athlete. As a result, placings from nine affected athletes that spanned between 1997 and 2004 were vacated, and the program was not scored as a team (although individuals were still allowed to compete) at post-season competitions during the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 seasons. The program also withheld itself from competing in 2004-2005 season championships. As a result of the decision, publications have sometimes considered all of the TCU men's team postseason marks from 1997 to 2004 to have been vacated.
