THIS is track and field! I have no idea the height, I have no idea the kid, but I know passion and team camaraderie!
Volume up, it's worth it.

The ability to see something in an athlete that they themselves cannot yet see.

Athletes,
You are loved.
You deserve it.
You are more than your PR.
You are more than your sport.
You are special.

I think all levels (DI, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO) are special. I’ve always said maybe the best coaches are at D3. This chart (credit to @D3GloryDays) sums it up. Look at what it took to make nationals. PS: It’s all about finding the right school for YOU (no matter what the level)

We're DQ'ing kids for this type of celebration?
WOW!
I'm speechless.
Agree or disagree with the ruling?
Catoctin’s Brody Buffington (U.S. No. 1 in the 55) won’t be able to defend his state title in the 300 after getting DQ’d for his celebration at the Maryland 1A West region meet.

45 track scholarships PER GENDER!!!
NEW: The NCAA’s historic expansion of scholarships to extend to full rosters means that roughly 790 new scholarship spots are available across the 40-plus NCAA sports listed in the settlement, per a @YahooSports
calculation.

My opinion: here are a few things we need to do to improve our T&F coach's professional lives:
* Increase in # of coaches on staff
* Increase in scholarships
* Minimum pay
* Increase pay
* No more volunteer, half-time, seasonal positions
* MORE Coaches Ed
(what would you add?)

Hey track fans, can I get a Hell Yeah?

Some great stats on @CNN this morning showing #trackandfield and the most popular sport among students in 🇺🇸 high schools…
Great scope for further growth after first ever #WorldAthleticsChamps in @uoregon 🇺🇸 in July and the @LA28 Olympics on the horizon

What a leader! When @TTFCA needed a speaker on the discus in the very last minute, @ThrowSumthin stepped up. Literally within 10 minutes she was up and at 'em with no time to prepare.

Hey Jack, let's talk about tweets that age poorly. This is a great example. A really good example.
I know you're an 'NFL Expert' and what not. You're out of your territory, obviously, when you bring up Olympic sprints.
Stay in your lane, sir. Grant's fast in his!

Coach,
As promised, here's @TreyCunningham's take off from the hurdle. Now he's a 13.00 hurdler so it'll be different for your athlete. But we hope this helps your athlete trust you more.

I ♥️ this graphic about the probability of competing in College T&F.
I tells me HS coaches have a HUGE influence on young people, the majority not going on to compete in college.
And college coaches are working w/the cream of the crop. ALL college athletes are special edition!

One of the things I'm most proud of that we did differently as the NCAA equipment sponsors is each division gets the same top of the line equipment. EVERYONE GETS THE UPGRADE! NO ONE GETS SHORT CHANGED!

At first T&F gave me identify and self-esteem, as a high school athlete.
Then T&F gave me a career and memories for a lifetime, as a 10 year college coach.
Now T&F gives me a passion and a calling as a manufacturer of T&F equipment.
Thank you Track and Field. THANK YOU!

Dear HS coaches,
You are so awesome! You work with 14-18 year olds during one of their most developmental times. You prepare them for the future, whether that includes college or not.
Thank you for all you do! RT if you're a HS coach.

Congrats Idaho for making a very wise decision. The javelin is now an official HS event in this great state.
Anyone know if it'll be regular or rubber tipped?
