TCTC offers an Outdoor Track and Field season comprised of the tradition Track events like: Sprints, Middle Distance running, Hurdling and Relays. We also offer Field events that involve throwing and jumping. Those events include: Shot Put, Discus, Javelin, High Jump, Long Jump & Triple Jump. Boys and girls do not compete against each other, although they may sometimes run in the same races due to time constraints at developmental meets. TCTC is dedicated to sponsoring athletes in multi-events such as: Pentathlon, Heptathlon & Decathlon.

We are proud to announce that 53 advanced to the State Championships, 24 to the Regional Championships and 1 to the National Championships in Walnut, CA. Nearly 50% of our athletes were competing in Track and Field for the first time.
