Westborough Track. Patriot Sprints. Speed and Hurdle Enthusiast.

Annual reminder: if you don’t intend to have an athlete or a relay compete at Divisionals, please courtesy scratch them so someone else gets that chance to compete!


He says football. But this is anything. Those that do what others won’t achieve what others won’t. Track, football, bocce, school, anything. Consistent and determined.

Wow! Tom Brady may have just delivered the greatest quote I’ve ever heard. “To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.”



Wooo! Huge congrats to our friends at Nashoba. Awesome work to athletes and coaches alike!

What a day! Nashoba Girls Track are your MIAA D3 Runners-Up! #aaroooooo 🐺

"The only way to get faster is by running faster" Does speed matter in your sport? Spoiler - it does. Come do track! Don't use his QR code though, that's for Nashoba.

The only way to get faster is by running faster. Not by playing more soccer, lacrosse, whatever. If you truly want to run faster, join the winter team that will specifically train you to get faster - sign up for indoor track today! Season starts Nov. 27! #aaroooooo 🐺

Research has found that sitting close to a high performer improved performance by 15%. Sitting close to a low performer decreased performance by 30%. Surround yourself with people who lift you up. thegrowtheq.com/good-vibes-are…

Hurdle crew! Please report to the track immediately!


Okay track coaches. It's time to buy a new bag for the upcoming season(s). What have you used that you love? Also feel others have this question, so going to use @MikeCunningham to get the informal question out there. Links for purchase extra appreciated!

As the fall season gets underway, a reminder high school coaches should be pushing kids to play multiple sports. Kids should play multiple sports as long they enjoy it. “Focusing” on one sport does not make someone a better athlete or competitor or help them meet new teammates.

With a clearance of 12’5.5, Melinda ties for 4th at New Balance Nationals. She is an ALL-AMERICAN! What a finish to her senior season! @WestboroRangers

This is the best idea I have seen so far.

Track and Field should plan these Tennis-like GRAND SLAM multi-day events over the course of 4 televised days with Semis and finals for all running events except the 3k steeplechase, 5k and 10k. Day 1 Semis for 200m, 400m Hurdles and 1500m with finals for High Jump and Hammer.…



Huge congrats to Melinda Haagensen on finishing FIRST at New Englands in the Pole Vault. I cannot imagine someone more deserving - hard work pays off! I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her.

A lot of athletes focus on the sport skills over the summer but ACTIVELY neglect athletic skills They can’t sprint, stop, jump, or cut well And then wonder why they have so many soft tissue injuries The muscles and body aren’t ready to perform 🤷🏿‍♂️ TRAIN IT ALL

Question for high school athletes. If all you do is go to camps and tournaments all summer to try and show how good you are, when are you training to get better? More work is the solution, not more “exposure”.


Do Track

Female athletes need quality strength training as early as possible. They are 4-8x more likely to tear their ACL. HS girls should be strength (& plyos + agility) training consistently to reduce their risk!
