Although team uniforms use the school's red and white colors, in the late 1990s, varsity teams began using black as a third color to distinguish from junior varsity.
Football. The Wolverines were in the bottom echelon of Division 2 football for many years since the 1980s. Before the 1980s, the team enjoyed some success, and won four league titles. In mid-2000s, the team again had some winning seasons. The Wolverines ended their 2010 season with a record of 8-2.
The 2011 season has securely placed the Wolverines in the history books. The Wolverines started out their season 3-0, before losing 3 straight games. During this skid, Newfield completely rewrote their offensive playbook and re-positioned many of their position players. After the 3-3 start, Newfield ran the table, ending up with a 9-3 record. During their run, the Wolverines beat powerhouse East Islip to capture Newfield's 1st ever Suffolk County Division II Championship. They capped their season by defeating Nassau County's undefeated Garden City. This victory earned the 2011 Wolverines the distinction of 2011 Long Island Division II Champions.
Fencing. Newfield is widely recognized for its varsity fencing program, which began in 1964. Noted as the most successful athletic program in the school's history, it is also one of the most storied fencing programs in the nation. Alumnus, Edward D'onofrio was a member of the 1974 Olympic Fencing Team; Robert Piraino and Joseph Amodemo both have gone on to become US National Foil Champions (Winning Division III is not being a national champion). The program has also sent many athletes to represent Long Island in The Empire State Games, the largest amateur athletic games in the nation, earning Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals.
'Van Wolosin. Van Wolosin served as the teams coach for over 30 seasons, through 2001. Wolosin, an alumnus of Newfield HS himself, had garnered more League and County Championships than any other boys fencing team on Long Island. He was also chosen as Coach of the year more times than any other coach in Suffolk County history. Wolosin coached well over 100 All-County Athletes, dozens of County Champions and finalists, and earned over 300 dual meet wins, an unbelievable accomplishment. The Newfield Boys Varsity Fencing Team finished as a County Medalist almost every year under Wolosin's guidance, and had even beaten collegiate teams. In his last two seasons, Wolosin led the team to two consecutive undefeated seasons, winning the League Championships and County Championships, earning Coach of the year both seasons, and finishing with multiple Individual County Champions, 8 of 9 starters earning All-County Honors, and almost a dozen Individual County Finalists.

Recent Fencing Accomplishments. In the 2001–2002 season, Jerome Cordero took over after the retirement of Van Wolosin. Cordero continued the fencing team's success earning silver, gold, and another silver medal at the Suffolk County Championships, respectively in his first three seasons. In 2004, Cordero left the program, leaving the position to teacher Keith Gillespie, a former lacrosse and former football coach. Gillespie, who lacks experience in the sport, tied for 3rd (in his first season with the team), and has not been able to return the program to its past glory. With 4th and 5th place finishes over the past two seasons, and less than a 50% winning record, the team has entered its worst slump in over 3 decades. As Gillespie begins to step down handing the program over to a more experienced Coach, Gregory Klein, has nothing but high expectations for the Newfield Fencing Team. Klein (a Newfield Alumni Epeeist) steps up this season (2008–2009) as the Head Coach for the Newfield Boys Fencing and expects big things from the squad he's been training with for the past 3 years. With a knowledgeable and experienced coach at the helm, expect Newfield to reclaim its past glory as the team and coaches are set to finish in the top 3 this year and many years to come. As expected, the Newfield Boys finished 3rd in league this season (2008–2009) and wasn't finished there. At the county championship Newfield tied with Commack (2nd in league) for 2nd place at counties and Newfield pulled the upset of the season by being the only team to defeat the undefeated Ward Melville (1st in league 14-0, 1st at counties).
