The Duke Blue Devils track and field team is the track and field program that represents Duke University. The Blue Devils compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Durham, North Carolina at the Morris Williams Track and Field Stadium.[2]
The program is coached by Shawn Wilbourn.[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]
Curtis Beach won the 2012 and 2014 NCAA titles in the indoor heptathlon, making him the only Duke athlete to win more than one collegiate national championship.[5]
The Blue Devils have had one AIAW All-American finishing in the top six at the AIAW indoor or outdoor championships.[6]
