Boys Indoor Track & Field

Two students running a relay on the Reeder Track in the Hale Field House at Mercersburg Academy.

A history of excellence:

18 Olympians who have earned nine medals (seven of them gold), including legends Ted Meredith (1912), Bill Carr ’29, and Charlie Moore ’47.
16 alumni enshrined in the Olympic, United States, and Pennsylvania Track and Field Halls of Fame.
Penn Relays: 11 Championships of America, seven records, three teams inducted in the Wall of Fame.

Over the last several years, Mercersburg athletes have gone on to compete on the collegiate level at a variety of schools, including Air Force, Army, Davidson, Emory, Navy, Nebraska, Penn, St. Joseph’s, Swarthmore, and Valparaiso.

Most of the coaching staff overlaps from one season to the next; assistants include former Division I athletes and veteran coaches in almost every track & field event.

Track & field athletes train and compete in the state-of-the-art Hale Field House, which hosts a number of home meets each season. The current schedule also features high-level competitions at other premier high school and college venues.
