TRACK & FIELD
Plano West Running Wolves Track and Field Program is a part of the Texas 6A, Region 1 University Interscholastic League (UIL).
Track is one of the only sports in which it’s benefits translate across all sports. Although there are field events in track, the primary focus is still speed and all sports can benefit from their athletes being faster. Track can also improve strength as well. We spend 2 days per week in the weight room working on sport specific lifts that help improve the athletes overall athletic ability. One big advantage that track has over some team sports is that our JV and Varsity athletes train together which allows the Varsity athletes to lead the JV athletes and the JV athletes get pushed by the Varsity athletes. But one of the most important reasons to join the PW Track team is to be part of a big family.
