The Bison won nine national titles in the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championship.Gradient1plusOBU

OBU legend Hannah Fields won three of them.

Elizabeth Dadzie won two more by herself and earned All-America honors in four events.

She took the title in the 100 meter hurdles (13.42) and the long jump (20-3). She was also fourth in the triple jump (38-11) and sixth as a member of the 4×100 relay (47.51).
