MAY 8th: First Practice for all Middle School and JV High School athletes that have completed their school track season. Summer track provides a great opportunity for athletes competing in school sports to get an edge, increase their speed, improve their strength, and gear up for Fall sports. For those at the highest level, regional competition on a weekly basis is comparable to school state level competitions. We know you are up for the challenge.

See you on the track!
