Format: This high-energy program is led by T&F coaches and enthusiastic athletes from Century High School.  Campers will get fit, make friends and have fun with track & field instruction in relays, jumps, sprints, distance and throw events.  Campers are encouraged to bring water bottles and dress for the weather!  We will hold camp rain or shine – in case of rain, we will meet in the National Volleyball Center.

We are thrilled that this year we were able to hire a full time middle school coach for both the boys and girls' programs! The middle school athletes will still practice at the same time as the high school program, but they will have their own coach, specific workouts and we have scheduled a half dozen junior high meets with schools from the surrounding area. We have also ordered uniforms so the girls will be able to have an official CHS uniform! We are so excited to be able to provide this experience! We will continue to post all practice and meet information in the CHSTF classroom and on this webesite. We've also included a Middle School only link below. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

If you have signed up for girls track, you MUST join the CHSTF classroom. We will be posting important practice information there, as well an informational form that you need to fill out. We will be running our daily announcements and sign ups through the classroom. The code is: gcwuocf. We are sharing this with the boys track team so be on the lookout for forms specifically marked for the girls!

We practice everyday starting at 3:40 and going until 5:00-5:15. There are activity busses that run from Kellogg/Dakota to Century. Until the weather warms up, we will be meeting in the National Volleyball Center. The girls are able to use the varsity locker room, which is located down the hall from Door 27. You are welcome to use the lockers but will need to provide your own lock. Please do not leave anything in the lockers unless you can lock it up!

All girls will need running shoes and workout clothes and for distance girls running outside, sweats, gloves, hats/headbands. The sprint group will practice inside until the temps warm up. We will post in the classroom if that changes. 

Attendance at practice is required. If you are going to miss, please email or message the coaches. If you have an ongoing conflict with practice times, please be sure to discuss with Coach Allen. We are all excited to be starting the season! Please let us know if you have any questions!

CLUB SPORT PARTICIPATION POLICY

We've had several questions regarding an athlete's participation in club sports during the track season. Please let us know if you have further questions:

In an ideal world as track coaches, we’d prefer that varsity athletes not compete in a second sport at all during our competitive season. However, we realize that there are athletes who are involved in other sports, so we have come up with what we feel is a fair compromise. We have noticed a significantly higher instances of injury and fatigue as we get into May. If you are a varsity athlete (or want to compete as a varsity athlete), you will need to focus on track for during the most important meets of the season (True Team Big 9, Sections, State). This means our varsity athletes will not be practicing or playing in a second sport.  This is our championship time of the season and we want our athletes to be as fresh as possible for these meets.  So for the 2025 season, that would mean athletes need to be done with their second sport by May 5th.
