The Michigan Tech Track and Field teams are programs on the rise, and we welcome your generous support in their continued growth. Your contributions provide extra enhancements to our program in general areas like purchasing extra cross-training equipment, recovery promotion equipment, locker room improvements, extra team apparel, and expanded support for our strength and conditioning program.
Last year, we had three provisional qualifiers for DII National Track & Field Championships with one of those earning an opportunity to compete in the meet and had three student-athletes make the podium at the GLIAC conference championship. We also set two new records in the Men’s and Women’s Pole Vault. In the classroom, we received USTFCCA All-Academic team awards for both Men’s and Women’s Track & Field, and our average team GPA continues to be among the highest at Michigan Tech. Our student-athletes are focused, driven, and have big national goals.
Our largest improvement need is for dedicated team treadmills to be able to train in inclement weather. Due to the unique snow load in the Copper Country, it can be a challenge to run the roads in our winters. A bank of treadmills would allow us to train as a team in even the snowiest winter. In addition, we’re looking to set one treadmill up with a load-reducing apparatus so it can be used to rehab from injury.
Your gift to Michigan Tech Track & Field will support our continued success. Our student-athletes are among the best in the nation, and your gift will support them as individuals and the overall future of program success. Thank you!
