Track Season 2024

By: Hank Foltz

Track season is right around the corner and it’s time to get excited. Track and field are actually two separate sports; track is all the running events and yes this does include hurdles. Track is Regis’ biggest sport in terms of how many people participate. This year there will be around 38 participants. In my opinion track is the most diverse sport because you have a little bit of everything like running, jumping and throwing. 

 There are a total of 10 running events going on this year ranging from a short fast paced 100 meter dash to a long 3000 meter run. My personal favorite running event is the 4×100 meter relay. When it comes to field events there are a total of seven field events but there are a few to choose from like discus, shot put, javelin, high jump, long jump, triple jump and pole vault. My favorite field event is the long jump but that can change with the introduction of pole vault. Our track coach, Erica Wiltsey, said “I think this track season is going to go really well especially because we are going to have the biggest team since COVID.”
