Welcome to Burlington Track 2025
TRACK & FIELD
Begins on Monday, March 10
INFO MEETING
Date: Thursday, February 6
Time: 3:00 PM
Location: BHS - Library
Welcome to the 2025 Burlington Athletics Team. The purpose of our sport is to make you a better athlete and human being. My belief as a coach is that you will become a better person and athlete through the sport of Track & Field. As a coach and athlete I can speak from experience on how the sport of Track and the lessons I have learned, have helped me throughout my life. Like anything in life it requires sacrifice, hard work, and patience to be truly successful. Nothing worth anything comes easily. However, like very few things it completely exposes our strengths and weaknesses and will help to make us better people if we so choose. So...welcome back to any 2023 member, and welcome to all the newcomers!
Why track? Because we will absolutely make you a better athlete and human being if you do your part. It doesn’t matter if you hope to earn a medal at the State Track Meet, simply want to get into better shape and meet friends, or prepare and improve yourself for another sport, Track has something for everyone. There are 18 events in Track and Field. Some last 3 seconds, some last 15 minutes. We will find an event for you.

Year 3 of our program;
Year 1-Culture of Positivity - No track, few kids out at BHS. Build a positive and successful program kids want to be a part of.
Year 2-Success and improvement for those who are working hard and are dedicated. You WILL see the results.
Year 3-Team Commitment/Team Success
-
Be committed to and accountable for attending all practices and meets.
-
For all TEAM/Conference/State Series Meets, be present until the 4x400 is finished. In addition to support, we may need you to run.
-
Needs/Wants - Don’t let your “wants” get in the way of our Teams’ “needs”. If you are not there and improving, our team is not improving.
2025 Team Goals; Train as One, support as One, but compete as Two.
Boys-Short term goal;
-
Be in the hunt to win Conference Relays held at BHS. We have not won any Conference titles in over 25 years.
-
Area for growth - Take care of Team Needs, and points and places will come. Last year we placed 4th, up from 7th. Could/should have been higher at Relays.
-
Deep in the sprints, relays, and much of the field. Much improved distance.
-
Great Senior leadership, big step up from the sophomores.
Girls-Short term goal;
-
To place in the top 4 at Conference Relays held at BHS.
-
We have some talented, dedicated individuals. We are getting much better and deeper in the sprints and relays. Very strong in the jumps. Improving in the distance.
-
Area for growth - Commitment to attending practices, being available for all meets, and until the end of meets. If you take care of what you can control, we have the potential to break a few sprint relay records and send even more kids to State.
-
Enjoy the “delayed gratification” that Track provides. You will slowly but steadily grow athletically and mentally all season. By the end of the season, you will be in spectacular shape and will have learned a lot about you as a person. See you on day 1, Monday, Mar 10, 2025.
