Spring Track is Back for 2024

John F Kennedy Memorial High School Track.

Spring track begins on March 14, 2024. Coach Heeney leads the boys track team while the girls track team is headed by Coach Bost.

Spring Track is simple to get involved in; there is no need to try out. The only requirement is to have your physical in before March 1 and approved by March 14. Spring Track is beneficial for those who do not get enough physical exercise or students that want to stay in shape.

“Joining track is a great way to get involved in school, and it’s a great beneficial extracurricular,” Coach Heeney states.
