• Track Apparel Order – to be shared

• Uniform

We will provide shorts and a jersey. Want to make our lives easier? Buy compression shorts or running shorts. They should be similar in color to what is in the apparel sale. I believe it is Navy Blue. May want an undershirt. Navy or White

Philosophy:

Provide an environment where student athletes can compete against themselves and others to be the best version of themselves
