The program is coached by Tony Miller.[3] 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.[4]
Corissa Yasen has the most All-American finishes of any Purdue athlete, with eight in the high jump and one national title in the women's heptathlon from 1993 to 1996.[5]
