Indoor track has a long, if sporadic history at St. Joe's. The first track meet was held indoors on December 20, 1921, in order to select participants for the school's track and field team. Throughout the 1920's the team frequently competed in the local Armories and indoor meets, with respectable if not dominant results. Due to financial concerns and difficulty in finding opponents, the entire sport of track was abandoned in 1930, and indoor track did not return until 1939.

Coach Joe Fatta's teams certainly did not show any rust when they began play in 1939. The team promptly won the Western New York Catholic Prep School Championships. The team would retain the Father Nuwer trophy for four consecutive seasons. In December 1942, the team finally fell short, though they did win two of three events.

After 1942, track was abandoned due to World War II. When it returned in 1946, the team promptly won the WNY Catholic High School Championship. Indoor track came and went several more times in the ensuing decade until it was resumed for good in 1968 under Coach Bob Ivory. It was then that indoor track took on a new role. It served as an offseason workout, a way to keep Ivory's runners in shape for his dominant track and field teams in the spring. Under Ivory, and later Coaches James Roland and Michael Diggins, indoor track has served as an informal team. They do not belong to any established league, but they do take part in invitational meets each year.

In the 1980's, the team annually took part in an invitational track meet in Toronto. Now coached by Matthew Hellerer, indoor track team members have become a common sight at St. Joe's, warming up in the school before braving the harsh Buffalo winters to practice outside. They do not have any established won-loss record, just the extra conditioning for the spring, and a renewed fighting spirit.
