The Akron Zips track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Akron. The Zips compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mid-American Conference. The team is based in Akron, Ohio, at the Lee R. Jackson Track & Field Complex.
The program is coached by Kendra Reimer-Gonzales. 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.
Pole vaulter Shawn Barber was the team's first three-time NCAA champion.
Postseason , a total of 16 men and 17 women have achieved individual first-team All-American status for the team at the Division I men's outdoor, women's outdoor, men's indoor, or women's indoor national championships (using the modern criteria of top-8 placing regardless of athlete nationality).
