Fairleigh Dickinson University's Florham Campus and its athletic department announce the addition of track and field teams, coming in the fall of 2022.

FDU named Kendall Luy as its first head coach in program history over the summer.
 
"Staying true to our mission, we are very excited to announce the addition of both men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field at the Florham Campus, increasing our sport offerings to 23 NCAA sports," said FDU's Division III Athletics Director Jenn Noon.
 
"It is a very exciting time at Fairleigh Dickinson University, especially within the athletic department," said President Christopher A. Capuano. "We are at the forefront of facilities upgrades with the beautiful new Elizabeth Ruth Hennessy Field, and Vincent J. and Lenda F. Naimoli Ballpark, which is one of the most elite baseball complexes in all of Division III athletics. The future of Devils athletics is bright, and we look forward to continuing to expand opportunities and attract high-caliber student-athletes to pursue their dreams at FDU."
