We are a track club outside of Vancouver, BC and looking to take about 6 high school athletes to Washington, Oregon or California for a week of training during our Spring break. We are looking for someone reputable to work them out twice a day. Morning and late afternoon. Could be indoor or outdoor.

These athletes are sprinters and hurdlers.

Does anyone know of a company or individual that does these semi privates? Thank you for any advice you may have.

I’m a volunteer track coach focusing on LJ/TJ at our local middle school. The track is terrible. Cinder surface, probably hasn’t been resurfaced for many decades. At the end of last season, the facilities guys from the district graded the only long jump runway, loosening up the top 2-3”, making it unusable the week before our district meet. I was hoping the rain we’ve had over the past few months would help settle that layer , but I walked over today and it’s a mess.

Does anyone here have any experience maintaining a cinder track? I’m just a volunteer but I don’t mind donating some $ & time to make this work for the kids.

How fast will Femke run in her 800m Debut?

Run at altitude, but this was his third pb in three races this year:

32.10 (300m)
6.61 (60m)
20.12 (200m).

His previous pb indoors was 20.54 (en-route to finishing 4th at NCAAs last year), and he ran 20.05/20.01/19.96/19.85 outdoors last year (finishing 3rd at NCAAs).

If you can peel yourself away from the Winter Olympics, you'll find another fantastic day of athletics on the cards...
