One of the things that I love about our hs track and XC program is that it doesn't take long for our program to weed out those that just want to be a part of and those that really want to be good and get better. Our kids work intensely everyday and commit to improving themselves. It allows them to see themselves doing some things that they never thought they could do. The ones who don't' make it unfortunately end up quitting because it is a real commitment. Their commitment transfers into the classroom. They either push themselves harder to improve their grades etc or they just do enough to get by. The intent is that if they improve mentally, physically, and spiritually from year to year they take with them life lessons when they leave us.

Hi Coach,
My 7 yr old daughter is extremely interested in running track and she is quite fast I might add. Is she old enough to get into a program? If so, would you provide some guidance? She has been excited about running since age 5 , so much that I had to purchase her a track outfit to practice in...lol. I am very athletic myself, so she has a great influence. Please let me know if you can help.

I believe that you are a positive role model for the students that come through your program. Keep up the good work and much continued success in what you do.
