About Victory Track and Field
Victory Track and Field strives to be a nonprofit organization that advocates for the experience of track and field and eliminates the barriers for youth wishing to participate in track and field. Victory does this in the following ways: Promote team building by organizing team activities; foster positive relationships between athletes, coaches, families and staff; offset track and field expenses related to the competitive season through fundraising and sponsorships. Our goal is to earn enough funds through our fundraising efforts that some or all of the expenses for the season will be covered and in turn eligible members will receive fundraising distributions at the end of the season. We are excited about the 2023-2024 indoor season and hope to see you there!
