Come run! If you enjoy running and want to compete, then now is the time to join the Bob Jones indoor track team. There are many benefits that you can receive from joining the team. You get to grow your relationships with your team mates and meet new people.

“Running will keep you in shape during the offseason for any other sport you may play,” said Coach Baker. Indoor track will also prepare you for outdoor track by giving you a scheduled workout to follow.  Rylee Wood (a runner on the team) said, “Don’t be hesitant to join if you know you like running. All the kids that run are nice and if you can’t find anyone you know, then there are plenty of new people to meet.”

The best time to join is now. With the first competition being the December 5, you must hurry and get your spot on the team. Everyone is welcome as long as you are willing to work hard and put in the effort that makes winning possible. The meets are not far away so there is very little traveling. All of the meets are held at the Crossplex in Birmingham, Alabama, which is the only indoor track in the state. There are many different events to compete in so you are bound to find one that you like and will succeed in.

Coach Jefferson said, “Even though we lost many great runners last year, there are many great runners I expect to fill in those gaps. With this in mind, I believe that we have a good shot at placing at state.”

If you want to be part of a winning tradition, join the Bob Jones indoor track and field team! If you have any questions, then you can contact Coach Jefferson (head coach) at his email: [email protected] .
