IT'S TRADITION
Each season, the Tritons split into two teams for the annual Blue and Gold intersquad meet at Triton Track and Field. This year was no different as both teams put up impressive numbers and results on the track and in the field. After two days of competition, the Gold team came out victorious.
 

ROSTER BREAKDOWN

OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST KIM GRAHAM-MILLER TAKES THE HELM
UC San Diego Director of Athletics Earl W. Edwards announced the hiring of former Olympic gold medal-winner Kimberly Graham-Miller as the new head track & field coach of the Tritons on July 11, 2022. She took over UC San Diego's men's and women's programs after serving as an assistant coach at Sacramento State since 2014, working with relay teams and sprints and hurdles.  During her time in Sacramento, she helped coach the Hornets to six Big Sky Conference titles.
  
A 1993 graduate of Clemson University, she was a decorated athlete for the Tigers. The team captain was a three-time ACC Performer of the Year – the only woman to capture that honor three times. She was inducted into the Clemson Hall of Fame in 1999.
 
After graduating from Clemson, Graham-Miller took part in the 1995 Indoor and Outdoor World Championships, where she was a semifinalist in the 400-meter. Competing for the United States in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, she was a 400-meter semifinalist before capturing a gold medal as part of the 4x400 meter relay team.
 
Coach Graham-Miller is a member of the Clemson Hall of Fame and was inducted into the Clemson Ring of Honor in the summer of 2024. It's the highest honor any Clemson student-athlete may earn.

ON THE MOVE
After 20 seasons playing as an NCAA Division II team and a four-year transition to NCAA Division I, the entire athletics program has reached full DI status and is now a member of The Big West. The UC San Diego track and field team is eligible to compete in The Big West conference championships and qualify for the NCAAs.

WHY THE TRITONS?
The Triton is described as the offspring of Poseidon and Amphitrite, a demigod of the sea with a lower part of the body like that of a fish. It is known as a mighty and fierce sea warrior. Given UC San Diego's close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its connections with the world-famous Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Triton became our mascot in 1964.
