Colby College

The Colby Track and Field program began back in 1895 with Men's Outdoor Track and Field. Men's Indoor Track and Field was added later on in 1970 while both Women's Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field began just a few years later in 1978. Colby Track and Field belongs to the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), one of the most competitive Division III conferences in the nation. The Alfond Track is home to the outdoor team and provides the Mules with one of the top collegiate track and field facilities in New England with a capacity of 2,000 spectators. The NCAA Division III Outdoor Track Championships were held here in 1992. The facility features dual shot put rings, two dual directional horizontal jump runways with four pits for long jump and triple jump, and a hammer and discus cage to host competition for the nation's premier throwers. Scoreboards and timing equipment meet all modern standards, including a videoboard at the south end. During the indoor season the team is housed inside the Indoor Competition Center which is part of the Harold Alfond Atheltics and Recreation Center. 
 
Colby Men's and Women's Indoor and Outdoor Track is led by Head Coach Dave Cusano, the 2024 DIII Women's Outdoor East Region Coach of the Year, who has been with the team since 2015. Most recently in 2024-25, the women's indoor 4x400m relay team (Kaitlyn Ewald '27, Fiona Mejico '25, Krisitina Pizzi '25, Tally Zeller '26) were crowned national champions followed by Levi Biery's '26 national championship performance in the men's outdoor 400m hurdles. 

In Men's and Women's Outdoor and Indoor program history combined their have been 144 All-American awards (100 women, 44 men), 15 in the 2024-25 season alone, and 164 All-NESCAC awards (107 women, 57 men). Colby Men's Track & Field were crowned Conference Champions in 1986 and have appeared in the NCAA Championships 19 times while the Women's team was named NESCAC Champions in 1984 and 1985 and have appeared in the NCAA Championships 34 times. 

Training emphasizes team balance and the individual development of each team member. Each season, individual as well as team goals are made, and plans are established to ensure that all attainable goals are reached.
