Tier 1: Entry-level times for athletes working toward joining the competitive team. This tier ensures commitment and access to foundational track training.

Tier 3: National -Level performance benchmarks aligned with national standards like Nike and New Balance Nationals. Athletes here are training at an elite level and preparing for the highest levels of youth competition.
Our Tiers help us group athletes by both ability and potential, allowing each runner, jumper, or thrower to train in an environment that challenges them and promotes success.
