# Boston College Eagles track and field

The Boston College Eagles track and field team is the track and field program that represents Boston College. The Eagles compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts at the The Track at New Balance.
The program is coached by Pete Watson. 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.
The team is most known for its hammer and weight throwing program, beginning with Hal Connolly who won the gold medal in the hammer throw at the 1956 Olympics. John Fiore, George Desnoyers, and Sean McGehearty have also won NCAA national titles in the hammer or weight throw.
