Spring Track Results

The spring track season for high school athletes is brutal -- cold, hot, and short. But athletes know to never mention the weather.

Many of the athletes from the GTD cross-country and all-sports summer programs participate in spring track. Many others play lacrosse, baseball, and volleyball in the spring. Maybe tennis? Here are some results from the spring track season. We apologize for missing so many. Congratulations to all.

Personal Coaching with Coach Braz

Registration for the Spring Seasonal Coaching Program (program 1) with Fernando Braz is still available. The program began on April 17 and continues for 15 weeks to the end of July.

Registration Form

The program is designed for runners who have a specific racing goal, or a series of races to prepare for, or want to build or maintain their running fitness. Runners receive a written, 15-week outline that is targeted to their level and goal. The outline includes a weekly track session that may be done at a site convenient to the runner, or with Coach Braz on Tuesday evenings at the Beverly High School track.

Runners may register at any time for Coach Braz's one-on-one coaching program (program 2).

What's the difference between Seasonal Coaching (program 1) and One-on-One Coaching (program 2)?
Program 1 provides a training outline for the spring, fall, or winter season.
Program 2 provides one-on-one coaching from Coach Braz on a daily and weekly basis.
For more information, go to Program Options and FAQs.
