Current Record:
The Pingree track program started in 2010 and our mantra is: “Run fast, have fun, and enjoy life!” We practice on campus and on local tracks during the season, training for events including sprint and distance running, long and triple jump, discus, shot put, and javelin. We pride ourselves on being a close-knit and motivated team, and we are welcoming to athletes of all experience levels. Although our track program is young, we have found success in numerous individual and team events. In the Spring of 2017 our Boys Track team won the EIL championship and places 3rd in NEPSTA Div III out of 24 schools. We are excited to see the successes we can have in the future.
