SCAC OUTDOORS SINCE 2014
Texas Lutheran has not hosted the SCAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships since 2021. Despite not hosting the event for four years as the host site has cycled through the rest of the conference, the Bulldogs have found an abundance of success at the meet from a team and individual perspective.
Since joining the conference in 2014, neither team has ever finished outside of the top three in the conference meet.
The men boast three SCAC Track and Field Championships as the Bulldogs three-peated from 2017 to 2019 while TLU women's track and field won their lone SCAC championship in 2014.
Texas Lutheran has earned athlete of the meet six times on the women's side and four times on the men's side.
