Track and field at Trinity has existed since the 1880s, and a men's team was formed in 1895. The men's team has had one NCAA qualifier, Ryan Bak '03, who qualified four times, won the NCAA Division III National Championship for two indoor track events, and was named NESCAC Runner of the Year (2001, 2002), New England Runner of the Year (2002), and NCAA Division III National Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Year (2003). The men's team has also had five NESCAC champions, 10 New England champions, and one ECAC champion.

The first Black athlete to letter in a sport was Ralph F. Davis '53 who ran track.
