A second 2025 TRACK AND FIELD program (no beginners – sorry) will begin after Memorial Day for all high schoolers and the youth team members that qualified during the regular season and want to be on the TRAVEL TRACK AND FIELD TEAM and the first meet opportunity will be Sunday June 1 at Century High. We would love to have you join the Summer program, travel team, that will focus on the AAU Club Championships in FL July 8-12 instead of the AAU Junior Olympics like usual so plan accordingly. We will all participate in the AAU district and region meets and if you qualify for the Junior Olympic Nationals, and want to go, you can let me know and I will sign you up but just understand the coaches won’t be going to that meet this year and practices for the elementary and middle school kids will end July 3. Email coachlang@hotmail.com if interested.
