# Maryland Terrapins track and field

The Maryland Terrapins track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Maryland, College Park. The Terrapins compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The team is based in College Park, Maryland at the Ludwig Field.
The program is coached by Andrew Valmon. 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.
Renaldo Nehemiah has won the most NCAA titles of any Terrapin athlete, with three in the hurdles.
