HEATH MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACK & FIELD 2018

Welcome to Heath track!! The sport of track and field provides a unique opportunity to not only participate on a team, but as an individual as well. Success is not always measured by who comes in first, but by effort, hard work, and self-improvement. Any dedicated student/athlete is welcome to participate on our team. We will encourage all students/athletes to set realistic individual and team goals to work toward during the season. Track & field can teach a lifetime activity that encourages a healthy lifestyle leading to a fit adulthood. Our philosophy is that everyone who does his or her best is a winner. Feel free to contact us if at any time you have questions, concerns, etc. regarding your child or our team.
