Head Coach: Jen Wierzba (jwierzba@amherst.k12.wi.us)

Since there are so many different disciplines in track and field, all coaches work with athletes from Middle School through High School. Though they are not allowed to compete in meets (conference rule), we encourage 5th graders to practice with us to get a feel for the sport.

In the near future, we will be starting a track and field club at Amherst, which will help build interest in the program. Parents of athletes will be encourages to join, but the club will not be limited to parents by any means. We will need a lot of help to run any of the meets we host, and we hope the club will help provide the nucleus for our helpers.   

In fall 2020, Amherst completed a new, state-of-the-art facility for track and field that will allow us to train and compete at a high level. Make sure to take a look at the new facility when you get a chance, and THANK YOU to our generous donors!

In April 2021, we hosted a grand opening meet. It was unusual for us because we had both Middle School and High School athletes at the same meet -- in different divisions, of course -- but the younger athletes got a chance to participate in the same meet, much like cross country.

Each spring, the team does an annual fundraiser which allows us to purchase additional items for the benefit of the student athletes. Two years ago we were able to provide warm-up attire for the Middle School athletes. Thank you to everyone who has supported our team through our fundraisers.
