Track & Field

Team Mission Statement

While we strive to be our best in the competitive arena, our team has a holistic approach, with emphasis on developing and celebrating our student-athletes for their unique contributions, growth and achievement within the classroom and community.

Team Core Values

Academics first, sports second. Our ultimate goal is for our student-athletes to have a happy and successful life. Success in the classroom will have a greater impact on one's life than anything they do on the track.
We are each the keeper of our own success. Teachers, coaches and parents are all part of our team to help us succeed, but in the end, we control our own destiny.
We respect all. We not only represent ourselves, we represent our family, team and school, too. We recognize that character is more important and lasting than our physical attributes.
It's not all about winning. Regardless of how we fair against competition, success is defined by each individual and progress towards one's own goals.
We are open to all, regardless of ability. All that commit to our requirements and core values are open to join our team.
Life is short--have fun! Many years from now, we hope that our student-athletes will cherish all the memories shared with their teammates and coaches, not simply a time or measurement achieved.
