Josh Fletcher was named the Head Track & Field Coach in July of 2018 and will begin his sixth season as head coach of the men's and women's programs in 2023-24.

The men's track and field program swept the MIAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships for the third consecutive season and the team saw Jake Gladieux qualify for both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor National Championships. During the indoor season, Gladieux was an All-American with his third-place finish in the 60-meter hurdles with a new personal best and school record time of 8.01 seconds. Gladieux qualified for the NCAA Outdoor National Championships in the 110-meter and 400-meter hurdles. He was an All-American in both events as well to give him six awards for his career. He ran a time of 52.16 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles to place fourth and 14.25 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles to score a national runner-up finish.

The 2021-22 season saw three student-athletes qualify for the NCAA DIII National Championships, including Evie (Bultemeyer) Miller, Jake Gladieux and Valerie Obear. Miller highlighted the season with a 2022 Outdoor National Championship at the SPIRE Institute in Cleveland, Ohio in the 3000-meter steeplechase. She was the second national champion during Fletcher’s tenure. She also took home Indoor All-American honors in the mile and 3000-meter run. Gladieux was All-American in the 60-meter hurdles during the indoor season and 110-meter hurdles for outdoor. At the MIAA Championships, the men and women swept the indoor titles and the men’s outdoor team claimed victory, giving him seven total MIAA Championships in four years.

The 2020-21 season was a success as the men's team won their first ever Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Outdoor Championship. In addition, the men's team sent four student-athletes to compete in five events at the 2021 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Sophomore Jake Gladieux became just the second national champion in the Trine University men's track and field program's NCAA history by winning the 400 M hurdles. He also earned All-American status on the back of the win.

In a shortened 2019-20 season that was limited to just the indoor schedule, the men's indoor track & field team captured its second career MIAA Indoor Championship and had multiple event champions in Josh Davis in the 60-meter dash, Derek Miller in the 3000-meter run and Jake Gladieux in the 60-meter hurdles.  All three earned All-MIAA honors and Vuskalns along with Mitchell Martin and Jack Beakas went on to earn All-Region honors.  The Trine women's track & field team placed third at the MIAA Indoor Meet and captured a total of six events, five individual and one relay.  Three individual events were won by Evie Bultemeyer (400-meter dash, 800-meter run and mile run) and was also a member of the winning relay team in the 4x400-meter along with teammates Stephanie Hartpence, Chloe Brittain and Amira Faulkner.  The other two event champions came in the field events in Valerie Obear who won the weight throw and Autumn Presley won the pole vault.  All of them garnered All-Conference honors and Bultemeyer was also named the MIAA "Most Valuable Track Athlete" for the second straight season.  Bultemeyer and Obear went on to earn All-Region accolades and Bultemeyer was named the Great Lakes Region "Athlete of the Year."  She and Obear also qualified for the NCAA Division III Championship as Bultemeyer posted the top overall qualifying time in the nation in the mile run and Obear had the 16th-best mark nationally in the weight throw.  Unfortunately, the national meet was cancelled due to national health restrictions, but despite not being able to compete, but athletes were later granted All-American status in their respective events.

In his first season as head coach, the women's team captured its first Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Indoor Championship and placed third at the MIAA Outdoor Championship Meet.  The men's team also fared well at the conference meets with a pair of runner-up finishes.  Evie Bultemeyer was named the conference indoor and outdoor "Most Valuable Track Performer."  She also qualified for the NCAA Division III National Meet in the indoor mile run and qualified in three events during the outdoor season, but competed in the 800-meter and 1500-meter runs.  Bultemeyer finished with All-American honors, finishing in the top-eight in all three events.  On the men's side, Jeffery Barnett became a three-time MIAA champion in both the indoor and outdoor long jump.  He also qualifed in the event for both the NCAA indoor and outdoor meets and finished as the national runner up at indoor nationals for the third straight year.  He was fourth at the outdoor nationals to become a combined four-time All-American (three indoor, one outdoor).  A total of 12 All-MIAA honors (indoor and outdoor) were awarded to go along with 11 combined (indoor and outdoor) USTFCCA All-Region accolades.
