About St. Norbert College Men’s Track & Field
Our men’s track and field team dates back to 1940, when the Green Knights ran on the cinder track at Minahan Stadium. We have fielded a squad every year since 1947, when the program restarted after World War II. We joined the Midwest Conference in 1983.
Our best NCAA finish was a 16th-place showing at the national indoor meet in 2003. In 2002 and 2003, we finished 19th at the national outdoor championship.
St. Norbert hosts its home track meets at Schneider Stadium, which opened in 2010.
