Manchester High School Track and Field Program held a track camp last month. It was a 3-day camp that introduced kids to the sport. Events covered included pole vault, long jump, high jump, hurdles, relays, disc, shot put, sprints, and mid-distance. After a couple of days of learning and practicing events, we had a track meet on the last day. We had a good turnout for our first year doing this. It ended up being a 4-day event because our track meet was stormed out, so it was rescheduled, but it was a fun time for all the kids and we will be doing it again next June after school is out.
