Summer Training Plans
The training plans for the summer are out! Make sure to get enough rest after our record-breaking track season and check out the training page when you're ready for the summer grind! We hope to see you all back on the track in the fall!

Wildcat Twilight
Well folks, its our last meet of the season and it's undeniable that the club went out with a bang! Despite the overwhelming heat for the first half of the day, 37 new PRs were set and an incredible 10 club records were broken! The results can be found here. Overall, VTRC had its best performances ever this season with a total of 21 club records being set, as well as top three finishes at NIRCA Nationals by both the men's and women's teams, including the first National Championship the club has ever won! That's a wrap on track & field '22 and while we're sad to see our seniors go, we wish them the best after college. Thank you for making this your club home.

Nationals
The men and women's teams both reached the podium this weekend (April 2-3), placing the highest at NIRCA Nationals in club history. The men are national champions, cruising to victory with an impressive 129 points! The women placed 3rd with only 15 girls, earning 78 points. Records were set in the men's 4x800, 1500, 5K, triple jump, and 110m hurdles despite chill temperatures and the 10-hour trek to Olivet, Michigan!

Wildcat Track Festival

​The grind never stops, so we'll be heading back out to the Wildcat Track Festival on Saturday, April 9th. We're riding high after nats, so keep an eye out for more PRs! You won't want to miss it. Find the form to sign up on the surveys page. It's due April 4th.

We appreciate it and hope you know that any money you donate will benefit each member of VTRC directly!

Community

​It's not all running, we're a very social club and welcome any and all newcomers! We host numerous club socials through the year, like hiking the cascades, cookouts, pumpkin carving, assassin, you name it! We love making new friends and hope you can join us!

Competition

The club is open to anyone, but we offer cross country and track seasons as well! We go to roughly 4-5 meets in both XC and Track seasons, each ending with Nationals (which anyone can go to!)

We compete through NIRCA (National Intercollegiate Running Club Association) as a part of their Mid-Atlantic division. You can find out more about NIRCA on their website here.

Keep up with us!
