1)  Enhance the physical, mental, social, and emotional growth of the athletes using TRACK AND FIELD as the vehicle to develop mature young adults!
 
2)  Help the athletes learn how to do things for themselves rather than have others do things for them.
 
3)  Use a high level of competition to bring out the best in each individual, which is something that may not necessarily be learned in the classroom.
 
4)  Produce the best team possible, which will occur when all of the individuals on the team are at their best.
 
5)  Recognize that winning is important, but understand that preparing to win is more important.
