Registration
Spring Track is here! Any area students wanting to become a better runner can join us. Registration is open through March.
In Washington, we focus on running (mostly 800m/1600m) and build in speed work everyday. We practice Sundays at 4pm and Thursdays 6:15pm at Washington HS Track (April schedule adjusts to some Fridays due to school events).
In Pacific, under Jo Lay, the focus expands to include more field events and sprinting events as well.
Join us to become a better runner while having fun and making new friends. We have some meets on the calendar and hopefully more will be added! AAU Regionals will be in Franklin County July 2-4.
