The Boston College Eagles track and field team is the track and field program that represents Boston College. The Eagles compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts at the The Track at New Balance.[2]
The program is coached by Pete Watson.[3] The track and field program officially encompasses four teams, as the NCAA regards men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.[4]
The team is most known for its hammer and weight throwing program, beginning with Hal Connolly who won the gold medal in the hammer throw at the 1956 Olympics.[5][6] John Fiore, George Desnoyers, and Sean McGehearty have also won NCAA national titles in the hammer or weight throw.[7]
