# Pittsburgh Panthers track and field

The Pittsburgh Panthers track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Pittsburgh. The Panthers compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the Fitzgerald Field House.
The program is coached by Alonzo Webb. 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.
Ever since Pitt Stadium was destroyed in 1999, the Pitt track and field team has not had an outdoor track facility to train on, unusual amongst NCAA Division I track teams. Nonetheless, students train indoors at the Fitzgerald Field House and there are plans to build an additional 300 m indoor track facility.
Pitt's track and field team has been said to have the most lasting success and impact among all of the Pittsburgh Panthers sports teams. John Woodruff went on to win the gold medal at the 1936 Olympic 800 m.
