Starting blocks are essential in nearly half of our track events. They are used as a backstop for a runner to have a better push off and a fast start. The track spikes also help aid the athlete on the track. They attach to their shoes and give them a better grip on the track. Spikes wear down quickly and not all of our students are able to buy them throughout the season. As coaches, we try to have them on hand for any athlete that may need some.
For a lot of our students, Track and Field is the only way they will be able to afford to go to college! I want to see these amazing student athletes grow and reach their full potential. I do believe that providing new starting blocks and track spikes will greatly increase the chances of success for each student!
