Ten Reasons to do Track & Field at Capital

1. It is a fun and challenging sport. There is an event for literally everyone. There are 15 events plus two relays. Three people can score in each event meaning 45 people can potentially score. Add in the relays and there are eight more positions. Now with even 53 scoring positions available, way more than most sports, you still can participate. That’s right – there is no bench time! We have six duel meets and I promise you will run in all of them! We also attend some weekend meets with Frosh events only.


2. It is co-ed. That means the girls team and the boys teams work together and travel together. The only other sport with this distinction is Cross Country.


3. It is a splendid way to get or stay in shape for other sports. We do speed drills, dynamic stretching and static stretching nearly everyday. If you are on a strength training program we are willing to make adaptations to accommodate your needs. College coaches are very interested in multi-sport athletes.


4. The coaching staff has over 130 combined years of coaching experience.


5. It is co-ed. Oh yeah, I already said that.


6. Shaun Alexander Frazier, our new jumps and hurdle coach brings years of experience and his energy level makes the Energizer Bunny look anemic.


7. Wipe yourself out with a good workout and then go play video games – you’ll feel and play better.


8. After over 30 years of working with track and field athletes I can personally attest to you that they are awesome to be around on a daily basis.


9. Your WASL scores will improve. This has not been totally proven yet, but there appears to be some circumstantial evidence. At least that’s the word on the street. I think your SAT scores will go up as well.


10. You want to be the best athlete and human being you can possibly be.
