The Kanley Track & Field Complex serves as the outdoor home for the Bronco women's track & field team.

Kanley features a 400-meter Olympic model Martin-surface track, the alumni track building and permanent lights. The field features a completely contained events competition area and excellent viewing for spectators.

Through hard work in training and competition the Broncos have produced six All-Americans in outdoor track and field. Becky Horn (2008, 800m run), Danielle Brown (2008, 400m hurdles), Jamie Strieter (1998, javelin), Phyliss Brooks (1997, 400m hurdles), Jill Stamison (1993, 800m run), Caroline Mullen (1987, 5,000m run) all worked their way to All-American status at the Kanley Track & Field Complex.

The complex underwent a massive renovation project in 1993 and hosted the MAC Championships in 1995, 2017 and 2022.
