The team practices/competes at the Blake Track and Field facility, an eight-lane lighted facility with dual runways, 42-inch lanes, and new throwing circles and cages. It is considered to be one of the top facilities in New England for track & field. In September of 2008, Springfield College opened a new fieldhouse (including an indoor track), as well as a new wellness center and exercise science building.
Because of that, Track & Field took an additional upswing at Springfield College this season, hosting four track meets, including the New England Division III Championships in the new fieldhouse.

Steve Headley of nearby Wilbraham, Mass. won the 100 meter dash, took second in the 200 meter dash, and helped power the 4x100 meter relay team to a second place finish at the 2010 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Headley had previously won the 100 meter dash national title in 2009, as well as capturing the 55 meter indoor title the same year.
The outdoor track & field team has an outstanding 80-10 record in dual meets (.888 winning percentage) since the 1997 season.
