How would they track you through wifi?

An organization can use transparent proxies and log web traffic for anyone using the network, among other things.

But how do they know it's your phone?

MAC address and traffic patterns. Also corporate wifi often requires logging in with your company credentials.

EAP or meta data.

a MAC address that doesn't belong to one of their systems pops up on the network. They're red-flags, and tracked as such.
