A Big Thank You and Let the Championships Begin!

A huge thank you to all our athletes and their fans who supported our fundraiser!  Together, we raised $13,396 to help us fund uniforms, implements, equipment, and additional coaching staff. We appreciate you!

WEATHER WOES

TeamSnap is our fastest means of communication about schedule changes. Let us know if you're not receiving messages via TeamSnap.

Snow postponed our Denver Christian meet, but plans to reschedule are in the works with May 10 and May 11 as two possibilities. We will update you as soon as Denver Christian makes a final decision.

SUMMER CAMP

Mark your calendars for the month of June. We will have morning Speed Camp Monday-Thursday for 4 weeks during the month of June (Cost: $150 for the month). We are still working on field/weight room schedules for the summer and will post a starting time and info sheet soon.

Why our camp? Speed, agility, and power are key components to success in any sport. And we get results!  Our summer speed camps have a decades long tradition, and our coaches have helped develop athletes who went on to complete collegiately in D1, D2, and D3 not only in track and field but also in football, volleyball, basketball, soccer, swimming, and crew. Some of our athletes have even gone on to compete professionally in track and field, football, and volleyball. 

WINTER/INDOOR TRACK

Looking even farther ahead...for our athletes who will not be competing in fall/winter sports, we will again offer fall/winter track, including some indoor meets in December - February before our regular high school season starts in late February/early March. More details coming soon. Meanwhile, let Coach Krauss know if you're interested in training and competing in some indoor meets this winter.
