Over the past 24 years our summer camps have helped students learn and develop the basics of each event. Specialized group and individualized instruction will be given each day. Our camp has been very successful in identifying campers strengths and giving them a good idea of what they should focus on once they are on the team. Many previous campers have devel-oped into fine hurdlers or jumpers in addition to sprinters only after they have discovered their ability to be successful in the event from trying it out during the summer camp.
Instruction will cover the following:
Form drills for sprint events
Proper running analysis and correction of running mechanics
Starts from blocks
Hurdle technique and form instruction
Long and triple jump technique and form
Weight training and nutrition
Relay hand- off instruction
High Jump technique
Discus and shot put events

Alumni runners will help with demonstration of drills and techniques.

Mission Statement
Our goal is not only to provide a positive experience in which every athlete will learn many aspects of track and field but will also learn how to work as a team, developing a great work- ethic, and develop life- long friendships. More importantly we hope the lessons learned by being on the track team can add to the teaching of Christ so they can portray the love of Christ (Caritas Christi) to everyone they encounter and everything they do throughout their life time. We hope the lessons learned in our sport can add to their over-all develop-ment in becoming sound citizens of society.
