Stars of Track and Field was an indie rock trio based in Portland, Oregon, active between 2003 and 2011. Their band name was inspired by the track "The Stars of Track and Field" from Belle and Sebastian's 1996 album If You're Feeling Sinister.
In August 2006, they digitally launched their third studio album, Centuries Before Love and War, on the iTunes Store, with a subsequent physical edition released in January 2007. They promoted multiple songs through their MySpace profile.
The group participated in the DirecTV music competition show Rock and a Hard Place, which was hosted by Meat Loaf and featured former AC/DC drummer Chris Slade. They competed against the country band Lonestar.
During the autumn of 2009, Stars of Track and Field supported the artist Lights on tour.
Their last album, A Time for Lions, debuted in September 2009, highlighted by the lead single "Racing Lights". The song "End Of All Time" was included in a November 2009 episode of Grey's Anatomy. Additionally, several tracks were used in episodes of the television series Greek.
