About Men's Track & Field
The men's track and field team dates back to 1940, when the Green Knights ran on a cinder track at Minahan Stadium. St. Norbert has fielded a squad every year since 1947, when the program restarted after World War II. We joined the Midwest Conference in 1983. St. Norbert won its first conference title in 2015, when it captured the MWC Outdoor Championship.
The team's best NCAA finish was a 10th-place showing at the national indoor meet in 2025. In 2002 and 2003, the team finished 19th at the NCAA Outdoor Championship.
St. Norbert hosts its home track meets at Schneider Stadium, which opened in 2010.
