Titan Indoor Track Club Information

Welcome to the Syracuse Indoor Track and Field Club. Through the years, many State Champions had their first taste of the sport in an indoor program. Approach this opportunity with a positive attitude, willing to learn as you meet new challenges. You have no idea where the journey may take you.
The Titans are the defending Utah Indoor Track State Champions. The Lady Titans finished 2nd. We would like to add two more titles this year. With your help, this may be possible. But the real emphasis for indoor will be to get people started in the program and get you prepared for outdoor. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.

GOALS OF THE PROGRAM
1. Introduce new people to the sport. RECRUIT!!!
2. Help you become a better all-around athlete.
3. Develop a training base to build upon during the outdoor season.

USU Track Camps- The HJ, Hurdle and Javelin Camps are Jan 7th, the Throws, Sprint, Distance and PV Camps are Jan 8th. The camps cost $30 if you register with me by 4th, $50 after that. The price includes a t-shirt and meal. For those who get their registration and $30 to me by Jan 4th, I will pay the other $20.

COST OF INDOOR TRACK
The cost of most meets is $4.00 - $5.00 for each athlete. You pay for meets. There is no club fee.

SIMPLOT GAMES
Most athletes feel that the Simplot Games Meet is the highlight of the Indoor season. This is the largest Indoor Track meet in the U.S. We will take about 40-50 athletes to compete at the Minidome in Pocatello, Idaho, leaving Feb. 17th after school and returning Feb. 19th. The cost of the trip will be about $100. Not everyone will be invited to go. The athletes selected will be chosen by considering the following:
1. Best marks at the first two indoor meets;
2. Attendance at scheduled event practices and clinics ;
3. Completion of workouts on your own;
4. How much "attention" you require on the trip;
5. Academic and citizenship eligibility. Athletes attending Simplot must be eligible according to the criteria set by the school for extra-curricular activities.

BODY CONDITIONING
Those who are 100% certain they are going to participate in Outdoor Track and Field should get into 8th period Advanced Team Conditioning class 2nd semester. It is not mandatory, but can be a huge advantage.

Get started with your training now. Spread the word and do some recruiting. Some of the best Track and Field athletes got their start in the sport with Indoor Track. Help us get as many involved as possible and have a fun, successful experience.
