2024 Track & Field is Here!
Registration for 2024 track & field is OPEN! We are accepting registrations for both our Elementary Program and our Competition Team.
What’s the difference between our programs?
ELEMENTARY PROGRAM – REGISTER HERE
Our Elementary Program is for athletes in kindergarten through 6th grade who are new to track & field or want to join a team at their school. In this 6-week program kids will learn the basics of track and field through game-based activities and engaging lessons, with a primary focus on effort, personal improvement, and being part of a team. Practices will be held 2x/week at school fields or a nearby park, depending on the team. They will compete in two meets in May in these events:
· 100m dash
· 400m dash
· 1600m run
· 4x100m relay
· long jump
· turbo javelin
Click here for a list of current teams and more info. Any team with an * is in need of a coach or assistant coach. No coa
ching experience is needed, we’ll train and provide you with an awesome program. Coaches kids run for free and all head coaches receive a small
stipend at the end of the season. Kids don’t have to attend any specific school to be on a team. Parents are encouraged to register their kid for any team where the practice days/times work best with their schedules.
Please reach out to Tom Sharkey if you or someone you know is interested in being a coach: 443-939-7133 or elementary@wolfpackrunning.org.
Our two elementary program meets will be at Corner Canyon High School:
SATURDAY, MAY 4 & FRIDAY, MAY 17
COMPETITION TEAM – REGISTER HERE
The Competition Team is for athletes in 3rd thru 8th grade who want a more competitive environment to compete at higher-level meets, already have some experience with track & field, or they are seeking a longer season with a more structured and focused experience. Our comp team trains 3x/week anywhere between 11 to 16 weeks each season; depending on when USATF schedules our state and region meets.
Wolfpack’s comp team can compete in most track & field events depending on their age division. We do sprints, mid and long-distance running, long jump, javelin, shot put, and multi events (pentathlon, triathlon, etc). Athletes ages 9 and up may also compete in high jump, and athletes ages 11 and older may compete in hurdles.
Our Comp Team will compete at a handful of local meets, including one we will host on Saturday, June 1 at Corner Canyon High School. We will also compete at the USATF Utah State Meet on June 6-8, 2024 at BYU and the USATF Region 11 Meet on June 20-22 at the University of Montana in Missoula.
Don’t think your kiddo can join because they play another sport like soccer, lacrosse, or mountain biking? We have many Comp Team athletes who split their time between Wolfpack and comp soccer, lacrosse, or another sport. Cross-training has been shown to be a large benefit in preventing injuries and burnout in some athletes. If you would like to discuss whether our Comp Team would be a good fit for your athlete, shoot us an email and one of our Comp Team coaches will be in touch: admin@wolfpackrunning.org.
