Program Description
High school track is a spring sport for both girls and boys. There are usually eight track meets that NCA attends before the district, sectional and state meets. There are twelve running events: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m, 3200m, 100(110)m hurdles, 300m hurdles, 4X100m relay, 4X200m relay, 4X400m relay and the 4X800m relay. We offer five field events: long jump, high jump, triple jump, shot put and discus.
The track teams have had much success since 2010. We have had four state top four team finishes including a state championship for the girls in 2015 as well as several event state championships. Ken Jones and Mike Workman are the current coaches.
