MHS track team hosts 9th annual youth track camp

For the ninth year in a row, the Morgan High track team hosted their Annual Youth Track Camp. For a week each summer,  the MHS coaches and track athletes host a camp for aspiring athletes to learn about the different aspects of track and field and then wrap up the camp with a track meet for the kids to display their skills.

Coaches Brennen Fuller, Bryan Weir and Michele Wilkinson are veterans of the program. Fuller just finished his 11th year with Weir wrapping up his ninth and Wilkinson her eighth. Wilkinson said, “It was great to have over 120 kids this year at camp.”  

During the week the youth are taught by the coaches and MHS athletes. Attendees get experience in distance running, sprints, hurdles and field events. At the track meet, athletes can choose to take part in the 50m, 100m, 400m, 800m, 1600m, 4x100m relay, hurdles, long jump, high jump and shot put.

Participants were divided into four groups by age and gender (4-6 years, 7-8 years, 9-11 years, 12-14 years) for the Friday meet, and medals were awarded for each age group.  

Track and field takes place in the spring, but any students entering high school 9th through 12th grade who are interested in running can contact Coach Fuller ([email protected]) or Coach Weir ([email protected]) to join the boys and girls cross country teams for the fall. 

“Anyone who is interested in running and being a part of our family is welcome to join us! We would love to have them,” Coach Fuller invited. “Our XC team camp will begin Monday, July 29. We are running and training hard for cross country right now! We are one month out from our first meet!”λ
