We are excited about your interest in the University of North Texas and Mean Green men's and women's track teams. The Mean Green track teams contend for the outdoor and indoor conference championships every season and send a record number of athletes to the NCAA Midwest Regionals. In 2009 the men's and women’s track and field team finished fifth at the indoor conference championship and fourth at the outdoor meet.

Freshman All-American Keyth Talley became the first athlete in school history to take home gold at the Junior USA Championships with his first-place finish in the 200-meter dash Saturday afternoon at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field. He advanced to partake at the Pan American Junior Athletic Championships in Spain.

Sophomore pole vaulter Jordan Wehr and the men's 4X100 relay team advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Track Championships, earning All-America status. 

Quick Hits On North Texas

The Track and Field Coaching Staff
Please note that, per NCAA rules, coaches can only respond via e-mail to juniors (after September 1) and seniors in high school. Coaches must mail responses to freshmen and sophomores, per NCAA rules. You can call any North Texas coach, but they cannot return your phone call unless you are a senior in high school.

Facilities
Fouts Field became the home of the University of North Texas football and track teams in 1951. Originally built to seat 20,000 fans, the structure was expanded by adding 10,000 seats in the end zones prior to the 1994 season. The track was surfaced in 2005, and both teams moved into new facilities during the 2005-06 school year. These facilities include locker rooms, team meeting/film study areas and a student-athlete lounge.

Academic Athletic Services
In the Fall of 2005, the academic and compliance staff relocated to the Mean Green Village. Located on Bonnie Brae, the new Student-Athlete Development Center is three times the size of the former academic center. The Center serves as the cornerstone of the Mean Green Village and is only a short walk from the surrounding sports facilities.
