Junior Bisons Track and Field
Overview
Whether athletes have already picked a discipline or are just beginning, the Junior Bisons Track and Field program teaches the basics of track and field, developing the technical mechanics for an athlete at any stage. Bison coaches and student-athletes will expose new athletes to all areas of the sport, including warmups, cooldowns, blocks, sprint mechanics, long jump, shot put and middle distance pacing. Experienced athletes can get focused instruction in their chosen specialization to prepare for a post-high school competition career.
