26 Training Academy

Good afternoon everyone.
I wanted to give an update on the season so far. 26 athletes have been dominating in both middle and high school track meets. From what I’ve counted, at least 8 athletes are the state leaders in their respective events with a few ranked in the top 50 in the nation. This is a testament to the importance of off season training. At every meet to date, 26 athletes are at the top of the performance list and we are not even in the heart of the season so congrats and keep grinding.
Looking forward, with the summer coming up soon, registration will be up as well as the store for uniforms.
Always remember, results don’t lie.
Good luck the rest of the season and let’s keep dominating.

Good afternoon team.
First, congratulations to everyone on a fantastic indoor season. We finished off with 98% of our athletes achieving PRs from last year’s outdoor season with the exception of the 60 meters and 60 meter hurdles, which were still PRs for those who competed in these events. Great job to the coaches who stood out in the freezing temperatures to help everyone achieve their goals. Big thanks to the parents for your continued support and encouragement. As the season closed and the school season begins, once again 26 athletes are at the top of the list. The past few meets, we were the only club to have athletes start in the top 5 of nearly every event from both middle school and high school. One thing I always say is results don’t lie. Your hard work is paying dividends. We are looking forward to seeing some great competition this season.
Good luck and coaches are available for anyone who wants private coaching.
Thanks
Coach Shane

Indoor track and field is now officially over and The outdoor season is finally here. We finished on a high note with 2 of our athletes competing in the AAU nationals and both coming back with medals, All American status and huge personal records set. Once again our team finished with some amazing and outstanding achievements. For those that competes, 99% had set personals records from last years outdoor marks and times. As we rolled into outdoors, all of the 26 TA athletes were at the top of the leader boards for the first meets of the season, with many starting off setting personal records as well. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication we put into our team and our coaches have done a fantastic job of preparing everyone. So special thanks to Coaches Justin Emerson, Brandon Harris and Tony Parrilla. And a very special thanks to all of our parents and athletes for being part of our family.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone compete as we begin our journey to Greensboro this summer for the AAU Junior Olympics.
Here is a look at some of the results from this past week.
The Grind never Stops.
