The track & field program at Mercersburg is designed for athletes of all abilities, and all have the opportunity to compete in a number of meets. The coaching staff works with each athlete on improving their performances, and reaching their individual goals. Each year, the team consists of a mix of newcomers and experienced Track & Field athletes, incorporating a true variety of abilities in each event. There are no prerequisites for membership on the team, only a willingness to come out, work hard, and strive toward one’s personal best each and every day.



 The season consists of a mix of invitational and dual meets; the dual meets are typically against public schools from our region with the invitationals can combine public and independent schools. Mercersburg also participates in the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) championship meet and the PA Independent Schools State Invitational.

 


The school’s excellent track & field facilities include an all-weather Regupol rubberized track and jumping areas equipped with modern pits. In addition, the team trains in the school’s fully-equipped fitness center fully with free weights, weight machines, and a variety of aerobic workout machines.
