My Project

It my first year coaching track we have a lot of out of date stuff no baton for our relays team and nothing to really train with. We can’t use the weight room to weight train so I’m hoping to find something that can offer the same benefits I would like to have this not only for this track team but future track team and if we hold track meets at out school we are proudly represented. I plan to continue to grow the track and field program and get better.
