In 1994, the University of Michigan Track and Field program began a tradition to honor its finest competitors and coaches. The Michigan Women's Track and Field Hall of Fame opened with its inaugural induction on Jan. 22, 1994, with the induction of former U-M head coach Kenneth "Red" Simmons. Simmons was the first head coach of Michigan women's track and field, guiding the Wolverine program during its first four seasons of competition (1978-81). Red was a member of the 1932 U.S. Olympic track and field team, advancing to the semifinals in the 440m hurdles.
U-M inducted the entire 1978 team into the Michigan Women's Track and Field Hall of Fame on Sept. 6, 2009. The 1978 team was the first varsity women's track and field team in Wolverine history as it participated in four events during the season, finishing eighth out of nine teams at the inaugural Big Ten Conference Championships.
The first class of Hall of Fame inductees for the newly combined men's and women's program was in 2018. In prior years, the two genders hosted separate induction ceremonies.
