Track & Field - Spring Sport

2025 SJ TIGERS TRACK AND FIELD

PHILOSOPHY

• The Track and Field Team is NOT a track club nor an activity to build your college resume.  It is a HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC TEAM!  Our goal is to prepare runners for competition and the best way to prepare is to be present and by following the program.  
• During the season we will be emphasizing training and strategies while focusing on effort, attitude, fitness, motivation, mental toughness, and sportsmanship.  Winning is a by-product of these efforts and shall never be placed above the value of instilling the highest ideals of character.
• Look for results, not excuses.
• Due to the overwhelming number of participants in this sport, we will have a travel team and limited entry lists.  Cuts may be possible but only happen when an athlete does not follow the team expectations.  Our goal is for every athlete to have a positive experience and successful season.
