Madison, WI
American Track & Field

This is the beginning of a five month training program for throwers, jumpers, sprinters and anyone who wants to run track in the spring of 2002. If you follow this program, you will be ready to jump, throw and run and in better shape than you ever imagined for February 02. The idea is to give the young athletes a progressive training program and show them how they can improve their fitness. Questions? email stanederjr@aol.com.
