Yay!!!  Come race a 200 meter with your age group!! Watch a real awesome meet after/before your race!!

This race is during the Stanford Invitational Track Meet.  It is a college & high school meet..and there is a special, highlighted race for the kids!  The races begin promptly at time TBA(around noontime)..it is important to meet Coach Joy near the Brick Information Building outside the track before …there, we will divide into age groups to race:  4 & under, 5, 6 ,7…etc..and walk to the start of the 200m. (This 200m race is open to all kids ages 12 and under). This is a great opportunity to run a 200m..the crowd will cheer for everyone & it is a fun experience! Yay!! Everyone racing receives an award, too! (..races are over within 15 minutes ..college races immediately follow).  Parents may walk out to the start with the children & also wait at finish line. HOWEVER, there is a high power meet happening around this 200m event for kids..so Please be aware of other athletes in the infield. So, after the fun kids races, we must exit the track immediately. 

Arrive early! There will be tons of team busses & cars parked all over.

Invite your friends!

 Coach Joy Upshaw, won five (5) national championships at the recent USA Track & FIeld (USATF) Masters Championships held on July 22-25 at the Iowa State Cyclone Sports Complex. Over 1,200 Masters athletes participated in the event. 

This was Joy’s first year competing in the 60-64 year old age group and she won 1st place in all of her events: 100meters, 200meters, 80 meter hurdles, long jump and 4×100 relay. Three of her running times were this year’s top times in the world for her age group!

She’s won 24 Masters world championships and was inducted into the USATF Masters Hall of Fame in 2012. She is also the current Masters Chair for the USATF Pacific Association. 

She enjoy’s the sport very much and that is why she loves to coach our Joy’s Jackrabbits Track Club! Not only do our Jackrabbits learn about the events, but she teaches good sportsmanship and the history of the sport too! Yay!

She has coordinated a Masters Elite Club which got 6th Place out of 111 teams competing at Nationals, too!

Olympic Summer Jackrabbits Schedule is out !! Yay!!

Finalized dates & locations! In Class Schedule!

🐰 Go Jackrabbits!

Jackrabbits-

Remember we practice rain or shine… just make sure to bring a towel for after practice to put down in your car when you go home.  🙂

Many track and sporting events are not cancelled due to rain, so it is important to know that yes, we do get wet, but we still can run and have fun! (In fact, many of our rainy day practices have been favorites of the kids!) Yay!

Our Zoom Classes have been great teaching your terrific kids Track & Field!

We do all our stretches, exercises, sprint drills and what is also exciting is our reviewing and understanding of track & field events up close in slow motion : shot put, pole vault, hurdles, javelin, etc !!! 

We note country flags and specific stats of Olympic caliber athletes which they will no doubt recognize in the next Olympic Games & World Championships!!

We have seen the Brazilian Relay team win in a championship and see them celebrate with their fellow country team members; we have seen Sweden’s 21 yr old Mondo Duplantis’ evolution of his Pole Vault world records beginning at 7 years old; we have seen USA’s Delilah Mohammad set the 400m hurdle record 2x in a row with a USA young 21 yr old Sydney McLaughlin close behind… these are just a few examples of what they get to see and understand. 

This is definitely a fun class! 

Hope to see you next Weds!!  Please email Coach Joy for the special Zoom Link!
